Team Sleep - Ever (Foreign Flag)
This song is still, nearly 20 years on, one hell of a vibe and Chino Moreno is a hell of a singer.
So, All Born Screaming is fantastic. Front to back, my favorite thing Annie Clark (aka St. Vincent) has ever done. Echoes of Nine Inch Nail, Talking Heads, & David Bowie are all here, but this record sounds like nothing more than Clark at her most creatively liberated. Highly Recommended!🎵
Watched First Reformed with Anna. Her first viewing, my second. Such a powerful film. Having just watched Diary of a Country Priest the night before really changed my viewing of it this time around.
🎵Listening to different versions of “Wayfaring Stranger” while I cook dinner. I think this one by Rhiannon Giddens is probably my favorite, but I’m a fan of the grittiness of this one as well, from the soundtrack of The Last Of Us II. Do you know the song? Have a favorite version?
Well, this could be a bit of a time suck… 😬
I was first introduced to John O’Donohue years ago by my friend David, via this amazing interview by Krista Tippett for On Being. I finally picked up the book that made him such a beloved voice for so many a couple of weeks ago and I’m really enjoying it at the moment. 📚#worldbookday
Had the opportunity to visit the exhibition of Nick Cave’s The Devil — A Life at the Xavier Hufkens Gallery (St-Georges) in Brussels just over a week ago. I found it beautiful, and surprisingly moving. - 🎨
Eco again (File under “Things that fuel this researcher’s neuroses”): “An idea contained almost by mistake on a page of an otherwise useless (and widely ignored) book may prove decisive for your research. You must discover this page on your own, with your own intuition and a little luck, and without anybody serving it to you on a silver platter.”
