hmm... changed my life... i don't know about changed my life per se, but these have definitely inspired/moved me
ham on rye - bukowski
norwegian wood - murakami
jimmy corrigan, the smartest kid on earth - chris ware
1. because i related to all the bullying and shit parents, self turmoil, loneliness, dread and desperation of everyday life, but i loved how bukowski made humour out of it all, even happiness. fucking love him.
2. escaped into another world completely, as i do with all of his books, but this one is just so perfect. it's timeless. his words are like consuming honey and falling asleep afterwards instantly. did that make sense?
3. a graphic novel, but deserves to be here. deals with time, space, loneliness, distance, longing, i mean it's just so stark and beautiful. i don't think i ever felt as much empathy for a character as i did for jimmy corrigan... and some parts made me cry. a lot. |

pepsi max is really good
anyways i found my first BAND MEMBER. it's my friend of like 5 years, stephanie, and i'm gonna start on bass with my friends bass who never asked for it back, and it's pretty good. i played cello for quite a few years so bass should kinda transfer from that. god knows i'm not a natural guitar player, although that was my dream... due to frusciante and shit.
here are some songs we want to try and learn
- bluebell by babes in toyland
- lowdown, wire
i personally want to learn some jesus and mary chain, and do a changed up cover of persephone by the cocteau twins, it's going to have to be way different because elisabeth fraser's voice is like... whoa
i can play a melvins bass line. night goat. it's really really very simple hahah
what are some good easy bass lines. i kinda don't wanna learn chilis stuff, cuz that's what everyone does when they start playing bass. but hey
we're just gonna play music for fun but in secret we have aspiring dreams
(((((of learning how to play our instruments semi well)))))
so then i can ditch art college
and stuff
we can always dream right |

i'm in the process of selecting images for an installation, and i guess the hard part is making it look the way it feels in your head. i'll get there... one day |

i'm really, really happy with the way it turned out. i accidentally put the last two photos in the wrong order (they are meant to be swapped around), but i was so concerned with hanging them correctly that i completely forgot about it until afterwards.
the book looked really professional on the plinth (that white block) and i'm glad i decided to do that instead of having it on a table with chairs.
( here are the individual photographs + some from the book ) |
