A Singaporean friend of mine posted this video on someones Facebook wall. It was not my wall. But that is ok, it is still a great piece of video. A bunch of San Francisco musicians in a room singing a indie anthem. It feels very collective and cosy and nice. Those are generally seen as positive things, I've heard. In other news, my media blogging friend, and MW Communication founder has recommended airportline to an editor at a Swedish magazine by describing me as an 'international decadent rebel born in the 80s who loves indie music and movies like Me and you and everyone we know.' That does seem like a somewhat glorified description of myself, but hey, as Tracyanne Campbell in Camera Obscura sings: 'I need all the love I can get'.
I was gonna rant about the lack of communication understanding among big wig CEOs during the 'financial crisis', but I'm too tired for that. So I'll give you a movie suggestion instead. Saw this one a few weeks ago and I loved it. It's about a relationship between two awkward and very lonely characters. I suggested it to two friends who angrily confronted me in a bar after seeing it, thinking it came across as justifying the behavior of Jason Patric's character. I don't think it does. In the end the character Samantha Morton's plays says:
Yes, we all want to make a difference I suppose. You ask yourself – what did your love do? What did it really do to the once you gave it to?
I like that question, and if you're into defunct relationships, and like movies such as Magnolia, Punch Drunk Love or Me And You And Everyone We Know you should see this.
It’s happening, it’s really happening, right now (there was a need to quote my all time favourite movie ‘Me And You And Everyone We Know’ as a starter). It is time, although this is not a good week to start a new blog. But time doesn’t wait, so you obey, or fail. You could say it’s here by popular demand, but that would be a stretch. You could say the world needs another blog, and that could be plain wrong. And you could say that I need an English outlet, for observations, musicians, book quotes and maybe some pictures, and videos, and text about songs, and you might be right. There will be texts about songs. So if you’re in need of songs, and observations, from a Swedish perspective. Then, I would say you have come to the right place. Bookmark bitch!
