HIT & RUN
I’m not sure what made me think of it, but there was a vid-clip created for Unkle a while back. I find it somehow inspiring — the man (a bum? a crazy? an anger filled individual?) refuses to give the way of the road. He refuses to let the cars keep him down. And, in the end, he triumphs. He builds a sort of strength beyond chrome - beyond steel.
Maybe we all build up a sort of strength beyond the road blocks life presents. Maybe we all need to learn to not give up the road without a fight. …the song is from Unkle’s Psychic Vision LP:
A pal recently introduced me to a new word: “Discotastic” I wish everything and everyone could be discotastic. I hope you have a discotastic week!!!…and, I was listening to Sebestian Tellier’s new work while I created this post:
…I rather like it!! And, I rather love the cheesy-chic cover for the sleeve! How can one not love it?!?!?

That is a very cheesy, not to say naughty album cover! But naturally I love all things cheesy.
Is Sebastian Tellier “discotastic” kind of music?

Java! Wow! I hadn’t thought about the fact that it might be a cowgirl’s ride! I love that!

Cool Old Cheeser! I knew you would appreciate it! No, I don’t think Sebestien is quite discotastic. He is more Air-lite. You know?
Goldfrapp Supernature is discotastic! …so the bar is raised!

Yes, I think we all need to stay on a journey of self discovery and not let obstacles keep us from discovering who we are.

That’s one of the most interesting videos I’ve ever seen. I wonder what went on in the creative process.

pakipoptart — Isn’t it cool? Yeah, I’d be curious to know more about the production, but it is not new. I first saw it several years ago when Unkle released that CD. I just thought of it.
Lovely Meredith!!!!! I’ve missed you!!!! How are you?!!?!? I wish that I were feeling “discotastic” — but, maybe some day soon I hope!

I’m good! Haven’t read many of your posts so I’m not as caught up as I’d like to be on what’s been happening with you. Glad to see that you and B are as blissfully domesticated (in a good way!) as ever! Can’t wait to read more!
