Nous n'irons plus aux bois

Who would like to hear/see me playing the harp one day? Would y’all want me to make a video maybe? :)

I found an independant records store in my town! The guy there is nice and it has loads of nice music (CDs and records) you wouldn’t find easily anywhere else (MBD, Dirty Projectors, Anna Calvi) Too bad I don’t have a record player :( I ordered MBD and tUnE-yArDs’ last albums because they didn’t have it anymore, rather than buying it at a big store.

I love these kind of little hidden places and the fact that the *big industry* hasn’t eaten up yet all these people who open stores because they really love music.

I know a boy whose favorite hobby is taking some Bibles or Korans at big bookshops in town, then moving them and putting them in the “Children’s books” area.

I’m reblogging myself because NOW IT’S MAY.

swallow-your-sadness:

APOLLINAIRE

I FORGOT APOLLINAIRE

he is one of my favorite poets ever.

What were you thinking about, Mélina?

Here is ‘Mai’ from Alcools: (the bold part is bold because I want to emphasize on how it’s beautiful)

Le mai le joli mai en barque sur le Rhin
Des dames regardaient du haut de la montagne
Vous êtes si jolies mais la barque s’éloigne
Qui donc a fait pleurer les saules riverains

Or des vergers fleuris se figeaient en arrière
Les pétales tombés des cerisiers de mai
Sont les ongles de celle que j’ai tant aimée
Les pétales flétris sont comme ses paupières

Sur le chemin du bord du fleuve lentement
Un ours un singe un chien menés par des tziganes
Suivaient une roulotte traînée par un âne
Tandis que s’éloignait dans les vignes rhénanes
Sur un fifre lointain un air de régiment

Le mai le joli mai a paré les ruines
De lierre de vigne vierge et de rosiers
Le vent du Rhin secoue sur le bord les osiers
Et les roseaux jaseurs et les fleurs nues des vignes

I am now, until I get sick of it (but that WON’T happen) in an obsessive musical relationship with the tUnE-yArDs.

… In other news, why didn’t anybody let me know before about how tUnE-yArDs does such greatamazingawesome music ???
