the heathen child!

of grinderman

interesting with a chick bathing in milk, blue feet, the guys dressed as roman centurions, huge hairy rotating heads, wolves, scared kids in black & white, hairy humanoids, gun-toting nick cave, one golden dude, and of course, beware of boobies

bonus: hear super heathen child here

enfin l’été – adieu l’été

can't complain - we got 5 days of summer this year!

summer's over

no sooner have you sung enfin l’été & voilà l’été than it’s time for adieu l’été

still, no reason to complain, feel forlorn, despondent, or glum my chum, or — godsforbid — woebegone, this year we got 5 days of summer

that’s far above the average

so, let’s all sing along:


Les Négresses Vertes – Voilà l’été
Uploaded by rycko35. – See the latest featured music videos.

everybody now:

voilà l’été
voilà l’été
voilà l’été
voilà l’été

voilà l’été, j’aperçois le soleil
les nuages filent et le ciel s’éclaircît
et dans ma tête qui bourdonnent
les abeilles!
l’entends rugir les plaisirs de la vie
c’est le retour des amours
qui nous chauffent les oreilles
il fait si chaud
qui’il nous poussent des envies
c’est le bonheur rafraîchi d’un
cocktail
les filles sont belles et les dieux sont ravis

enfin l’été
enfin l’été
enfin l’été
enfin l’été

enfin l’été,
mais y’a déjà plus d’argent
le tout paris se transformé en phobie
le métro sue tout devient purulent
dans ses souliers, le passager abruti
a dix doigts d’pied qui s’expriment
violemment
y’a plus d’amis les voisins sont partis
l’été paris c’est plutôt relaxant
on rêve de plage
et la seine est jolie

toujours l’été
c’est pas du superflu
il fait trop chaud, le soleil m’abasour
dit
rillettes sous les bras
j’avance dans la rue
j’pense à ces cons qui s’font chier
dans l’midi
tous ces torches-culs qui vont cuire
dans leurs jus
tous ces noyés, la mer quel saloperie
et sur les routes les danger ca vous tue
vivement l’automne, je me sens tout aigri

toujours l’été
toujours l’été
toujours l’été
toujours l’été

voilà l’été, j’aperçois le soleil
les nuages filent et le ciel s’éclaircit
et dans ma tête qui bourdonnent
les abeilles!
l# entends rugir les plaisirs de la vie
c’est le retour des amours
qui nous chauffent les oreilles
il fait si chaud
qui’il nous poussent des envies
c’est le bonheur rafraîchi d’un
cocktail
les filles sont belles et les dieux sont ravis

voilà
enfin
toujours
encore

good footwear

good footwear, originally uploaded by siggimus.

is imperative when you’re doing a mini-hike to work through snow & sludge

tindersticks showering you with their depression doesn’t hurt either:

i had shoes full of holes
when you first took me in

tindersticks – a night in

i had shoes full of holes
when you first took me in
the path that you led
wasn’t straight to your bed
there’s no cots to sleep in
and you showed me
who i was running from
as if i had not known all along

oh my old feet
they know this hard street
stay like old friends
you’re flat on the ground
there’s no further down
there’s no cots to sleep in
so come in
leave them outside the door
tear off the paper
tear off the carpet
off the floor

and i know you’re hurting

and i can’t be there for you

and i know you’re hurting

and i can’t be there no more

i had shoes full of holes
when you first took me in
i had calluses, not sores
and i’d like to keep them
so go turn those sheets
get back on the street
there’s nothing more i can bring to you
see i’m scared of the door
afraid of the floor
well, i’ll go and walk right through
and i’ll show you
who i’ve been running from
it’s the feeling of waking
and it’s gone

i had shoes full of holes
when you first took me in
i had calluses, not sores
and i’d like to keep them
oh now your feet
they know this hard street
they’re like old friends
you’re flat on the ground
there’s no further down
there’s no cots to sleep in
so come in
leave them outside the door
tear off the paper
tear off the carpet
off the floor

i had shoes full of holes
when you first took me in
i had calluses, not sores
and i’d like to keep them
so go turn those sheets
get back on the street
there’s nothing more i can bring to you
see i’m scared of the door
afraid of the floor
well, i’ll go and walk right through
and i’ll show you
who i’ve been running from
it’s the feeling of waking
and it’s gone

shame about the music

real cool video

shame about the music.

you might remember these guys as ‘the guys from the treadmill video’

so they’ll be known as the guys with the videos

they should call these short films & sell the songs as ‘the song from that short film …’

(with kidsmoke!) give an excellent boost when you’re walking with a wee snowstorm in your back

the two cyclists siggimus met were less than enthusiastic, the dude risked life & limb bravely (idiotically?) cycling on the slushy street & the dudette found that dragging the bike after her was easier than actually riding it

siggimus speaks mainly of song #3 on this thing, but all are definitely worth a listen:

fear of a female planet?

fear, baby!

i mean, are you gonna liberate us girls
from male white corporate oppression?

just the kool thing to orient you on a cold morning when sitting backwards on the bus makes you a bit disorientated

kool thing sittin’ with a kiddie
now you know you’re sure lookin’ pretty
like a lover not a dancer
superboy take a little chance here
i don’t wanna, i don’t think so
i don’t wanna, i don’t think so

kool thing let me play it with your radio
move me, turn me on, baby-o
i’ll be your slave
give you a shave
i don’t wanna, i don’t think so
i don’t wanna, i don’t think so

yeah, tell’em about it,
hit’em where it hurts
hey, kool thing, come here, sit down
there’s something i gotta ask you.
i just wanna know, what are you gonna do for me?
i mean, are you gonna liberate us girls
from male white corporate oppression?
tell it like it is!
huh?
yeah!
don’t be shy
word up!
fear of a female planet?
fear of a female planet?
fear, baby!
i just want to know that we can still be friends
come on, come on, come on, come on let everybody know
kool, kool thing
kool, kool thing

when you’re a star, i know that you’ll fix everything
kool thing sittin’ with a kiddie
now you know you’re sure lookin’ pretty
rock the beat just a little faster
now i know you are the master
i don’t wanna, i don’t think so
i don’t wanna, i don’t think so

kool thing walkin’ like a panther
come on and give me an answer
kool thing walkin’ like a panther
what’d he say?
i don’t wanna, i don’t think so
i don’t wanna, i don’t think so

more et

so, she was much like expected, shy, clumsy (forgetting lyrics), endearing & well, just very good

this one made siggimus happy

10 or 11 years ago, it was the first sign that there was something more behind that voice

highlights: to be free, jungle drum, big jumps, sigtryggur’s drumming

& as a bonus, here’s some more videos. she’s made some cool ones
