The first time I saw flowers I freaked

Today: we watched Derek Jarman's Jubilee (1977), a gorgeous cut-up flier of a film, and Talking Heads' Stop Making Sense (1984), the best concert movie ever. The book that [livejournal.com profile] rushthatspeaks brought me from the Strand was David Edmonds and John Eidinow's Wittgenstein's Poker: The Story of a Ten-Minute Argument Between Two Great Philosophers (2001), which is exactly as delightful as it sounds. We ran into [livejournal.com profile] nineweaving in Berryline. My immune system is doing its best to kill me, but otherwise I'm doing all right.

Nonetheless, [livejournal.com profile] teenybuffalo requested the angsty playlist, so this is as far as it had gotten:

Arcade Fire, "We Used to Wait"

I used to write letters
I used to sign my name
I used to sleep at night


Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling, "Episode 4: The Chimes of Big Ben"

'Cause they got their dogs
And they're at your heels
And I got my hands on whatever I can steal


Elvis Perkins in Dearland, "Shampoo"

Above me a perfect square of sky

The Mountain Goats, "This Year"

I am going to make it through this year if it kills me

PJ Harvey, "Big Exit"

Baby, baby, ain't it true
I'm immortal when I'm with you?


Placebo, "The Bitter End"

You shower me with lullabies
As you're walking away


The William Blakes & Spleen United, "Running Up That Hill"

Do you want to know how it feels?
Do you want to know that it doesn't hurt me?
Do you want to hear about the deal I'm making?


I still wish my immune system weren't trying to kill me, of course.

Oh, that's right. All the track names on that CD are messed up for some reason.

This is the real one: (misnamed "Soul in Isolation").

The song I sent is actually called "Frater Ave Atque Vale"

Ahhh, this is more like it.

EXCELLENT.

I'm not sure, but I think so..?
