cultural aversion
My brain is made of mush, alongside all these brains stuff. I believe in sustainable living not out of environmental consciousness but more so in vue of a possible apocalypse and due to my ever growing disdain for human beings.
I like the song Big in Japan by Alphaville.

November Morning - Stimming Orchestra
When this comes up on the sound system at work (put on a cd, accidentally)… everyone begs for us to skip it. Personally, I like it.
Midnight Oil - Beds Are Burning
I’ve had this stuck in my head all day
Thought I would end the night with a bit of controversy.
OMG classical music riot!!
SCANDALE!!
Igor Stravinsky - Le Sacre Du Printemps
The Chameleons - Don’t Fall / Script of the bridge 1983
One of my very favourite songs.
“Hiding inside
A room that’s running red
The place to be
Exists only in your head
And the focus of fear
In the creases of a dress
A female dress
How did I come to be drowning in this mess
This fuckin’ mess
Don’t fall”
Yuksek - On a train (magician remix)
I like the original version but this one keeps getting stuck in my head and I love it.
Ministry - Revenge
Tonight’s video comes with a story.
My friend Christopher and I would always sing this song but mostly the part where he says: “the corridor, YES, the corridor…”. Therefor I now have this song in my head every time I utter the word corridor, which, let me tell you, is hard to avoid when you’re french. I said it tonight to my dog Kiefer who was trying to take a nap in the building staircase/hall as we were coming back from a walk in the heat and I’ve have this song stuck in my head since.
This is from With Sympathy, Ministry’s first album. A very far cry from the Ministry most of you may know. The cover art looks like an 80s beauty shop nagle not unlike the ones you stare at when getting a pedicure in a shady nail salon in South Philly. It’s a hilarious album, looking back on Ministry’s whole catalogue, if you will. But It’s my favourite. It’s absolute 80s new wave goodness.
I also like to kid around and say that the corridor most definitely leads to the anal staircase (LOL Coil-humor)
Tears For Fears - Memories Fade
T4F is such an underrated band. Seriously. Whenever someone asks me who I’d name as my favourite band… this is it. The Hurting is an amazing album.
I remember when the Sewing The Seeds Of Love Tour in 1990(91?) came to Montreal. It was the first show I ever got pissed of missing. (I was 13…maybe?)…
aww memories of youth
Echo And The Bunnymen - Lips Like Sugar
dir. by Anton Corbijn
Indochine - La Guerre Est Finie (my favourite Indochine song!)
This is where you find out I’m actually crazy.
At the age of 13 I bought myself a tape cassette of Indochine’s “Un Jour Dans Notre Vie”… I was OBSESSED with it and would listen to it over and over again for hours… flipping the tape and never skipping a song. I had long known about this band and had always liked their music but this album KILLED it. Even now, listening to it on my ipod, I feel the same way about it. It’s an excellent record.
I have always been a big time day dreamer and music has never failed to be the main trigger of my craziest and most loving delusions. With discovering this album I also discovered the band’s singer (obviously), Nicola Sirkis, and fell madly in fan love with him.
(this is where it gets weird for you)
I wrote a 3 part fan fiction story using him as the main protagonist where I would travel back in time to when he was a teenager himself (I, 13, him 16) and we’d hopefully fall for each other. I say hopelessly because at some point I knew I had to return to the future and that we’d both have to be heartbroken and that he might also get real freaked out about the fact that I was from the future… So we’d break things off and I would come back to “the future” and he’d live his life and he would then go on to write all of Indochine’s love songs with me in mind. I believe that, at some point, in my “time”, after he had become and adult and famous french rockstar, we’d meet again and weren’t able to deny that we were soul mates but couldn’t renew our love because he was in his 30s and I, 13.
WHAT A CRUSHING TALE OF PSYCHO.
Yup.
Nicola Sirkis, my first celebrity crush.
PS: this song is NOT from Un Jour Dans Notre Vie, it’s a previously unreleased tracked that was featured on their greatest hits album Birthday Album only.
this will all blow over in time
Cold War Kids - We Used To Vacation
