Cities in Dust

City eating, city living, city sleeping, city music, city crying, city dancing….
Up to my ears in urbanism and I think I’m loving every painful moment
of it. Been lost in the streets at night, been wandering, jabbering, willfully
digressing and now… waiting…waiting…
Let’s grow in the dark, shall we?

Lotus loves you all

    City Girl is such a great song. Listening to this now makes me wish there will be a new MBV album soon. About every year they promise to make a new one, hopefully 2008 will be the year.

    Here’s Kevin Shields adding his magic to a Gemma Hayes song:

    Hey, but what’s that in the picture? One of your projects? I’m still waiting for you to share your passion for architecture with me. ;) Do you know of any photographers who have a real artistic approach to architectural photography?

  3. [...] City Girl by Kevin Shields — There are no solid, clear chords — just reverberation — that carries you all the way to the stratosphere and beyond. [...]

The song makes its imprint
in the air, making itself felt,
a felt world. Here, there,
the stunned silence

of knowing I will not remember
what I heard;

futures that will never happen,
a fluidity we cannot achieve
except as a child
creating possibility.

This is the untranslatable song
hidden in the earth.
