a reincarnation of an ultra-harmonical brute bliss


 `all the distant ships` 

it passed through me into you
used our blood as the glue
their hands pulled me into the earth
where i laid until they figured my worth
then they moved on to you
said that we would have to do
the words fell from my mouth
and stained our new ground
and i called out to you
but you told me you were through
and we'd meet again once the voices were gone

i woke up near the sea
with the sky bruised over scrap metal ground
and all the distant ships were sinking
and i wondered how you were

and as the sun burned my skin
iwatched you swimming
and as your body drifted in
i sat and told you everything
about how i climbed on everything that they used to tear us on down
and all of the air we breathed just helped me choke a little more down
now this is where we are

the sky is spinning around, around
we'll grind our teeth from the sound, the sound
we'll watch the spectators drown, oh, they'll drown
while i dig through the bones of all this
and find all the things our heads missed
and strap them across my scraped fists
like using a crane to scratch an itch
one that never goes away

and all of the world will drink as the clouds come pouring on down
and we'll dream of distant things while they strap our legs to ground
'cause this is where we are
yeah, this is where we are


my regard! 
in former times i wrote some lines on our blog surface by having dignified different work from a formidable usofa artist ben cooper, ingenius lyrical mastermind of `radical face`, more than adequate. but as it is indeed his unique music projects let us fall in love time and again.
ben cooper this is another masterpiece of your enormous potpurri of song collections. this particulate disengaged exploding electric president song calms my every nerve on nearly nine minutes. listen to it beginning to end loudly. awe-inspiring. absolutely. definitely. exactly!

 for a further magnificent compilation)


a.a. bondy`s intensive songs oscillate between all americana genres. his indiefolk-rock included juvenile brashly nasal vocals accomplishes largest forcefulness with a really small number of homely instrumentality! impressive...

Everybody knows.
No one wants to speak.
Every coverage shows weakness for the bleak
Lined up in the air,
traffic whistles blow
No one seems to care. Everybody goes

surfing on a nordic chillwave



indiepop | dreampop | electronica | chillwave | finland

everyone, who has a faible for soundscapes in the vein of slowdive, m83, radiohead, sigur ros and co. might enjoy fotoshop, the pseudonym of jarno-erik faarinen and his nordic take on chillwave. play and let your mind fly away. if speed or distance - whatever. worries? ain`t no more...

without you i`m nothing indeed, but as time went by love is put on the back burner...

brilliant image-memorial whereas
`allergic` on stage in autumn 2003

london, april 2012.
for a couple of time one of london`s whilom spearhead of an ambivalent underground pop culture flashed up awhile. surely not as brilliant and soul-touching as is has been way too many years before but ways better than during their worst period in 2009/2010.

anyway as kind of a minimum consolation `without you i`m nothing` is back since a lack of 5 years indeed. a little bit faster than usually and lyrical not as brilliant and soul-touching as is has been ten years before, but at least much more delighful than all their bygone stuff among placebo`s worst and boring together live appearances the last couple of years. anyway let`s see what happens next to placeboworld in 2012...

none the less i`ve tried to pick out some highlights from their london homcoming show at end of april. without you i`m nothing seems one of them, indeed!



same with `black-eyed`. even if their previous passion and exploding emotions couldn`t achieved completely, nice to regard once again in this vestment.



nice to hear brian`s closing vocals back in `bitter end`. that`s the way to finish it right emotionally!



one more thing before we start the final face off...
