A Man's a Man for A' That
Is there for honest Poverty That hings his head, an’ a’ that; The coward slave-we pass him by, We dare be poor for a’ that! For a’ that, an’ a’ that. Our toils obscure an’ a’ that, The rank is but the guinea’s stamp, The Man’s the gowd for a’ that.
What though on hamely fare we dine, Wear hodden grey, an’ a that; Gie fools...

Swallowed by a whale — a true tale? →
youmightfindyourself:
If, I’ll pretend for a moment, you were swallowed, it would happen like this: You would first be chewed. Sperm whales’ teeth are 8 inches long – longer than most blades in your knife drawer. Then you would be gulped to the fauces, the back of the mouth, and forced down. Here is where Bartley apparently touched the quivering sides of the throat. You would also touch the...

Ozymandias
I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desart. Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed: And on the pedestal...

Anchor Song
I live by the ocean
And during the night
I dive into it
Down to the bottom
Underneath all currents
And drop my anchor
As this is where I’m staying,
This is my home.

GIRL CULTURE
Girl culture needs to get split like a twig’s hymen into the smallest fractions of experience. My internet be-fry@jawnita, who I don’t know at all in real life, tweeted “UGH now that we fortunately have more than 1 prominent female rapper in media can we please REFRAIN FROM PITTING THEM AGAINST EACH OTHER?!” to which I thought “Who is the other one???” and then she goes, she goes, she goes, “SHIT...

Cameron characterised the moral collapse that made the riots possible thus: “It is a complete lack of responsibility in parts of our society; people allowed to feel the world owes them something, that their rights outweigh their responsibilities and their actions do not have consequence.” He could just as easily have been talking about bankers.
“In promulgating your esoteric cogitations and articulating your amicable...”

Erin Sheehy on Gender, Music, and Freedom →
amyrebeccaklein:
“For a long time the issue of ‘women in rock’ seemed trivial to me, and frankly, I didn’t think about it much. But reading Ellen Willis has given me pause. There’s a lot more at stake than whether or not a girl decides to learn guitar. Most of the women in my consciousness-raising group have said that as adolescents they felt like they didn’t relate to girls. Smart, dynamic...

WatchHere is a nice Video about the Wall of Death. Lovely.
I saw them at Glastonbury this year and after some initial cynicism i was amazed, they were really fantastic! At the time i thought it impossible to capture them on film and this video proves that point to some extent - but there are some great shots!
