Vonfuse(d) Me

No man is an island - It's been said many times, yet it has come back to me over and over again the last few days in the most random situations, and it has greatly influenced the way I think of some things these days. Yet I'm not sure whether I fully agree. Maybe I really am just another Toru Okada.


I just realised that there are more than two people in the band Belle and Sebastian. Maybe I am being naive, but I was surprised to find that neither of the seven (!!) band members is called Belle, or Sebastian. For me the female voice was always Belle, well, and the male voice Sebastian. Hmmm.


I must have spent more than 5 hours browsing through and listening to alternative music the last three days. A very nice time, though. If you have the chance, listen to Deerhoof (especially Spiral Golden Town, and Flower of Panda Panda Panda). They're very very weird, but strangely intrigueing. If you want a good laugh (and are not easily offended), get The Dirty South by Avenue D.

And for some very good, but depressing music, listen to "For Real" by Okkervil River (you can find it here). Or watch the video. It must be one of the freakiest things I've seen in a while, and it so much reminds me of something I've seen before, yet I keep watching it again...
