oh, what a beginner

It's a playlist I made, all shoegaze tracks bar the last one.
Excuse some really shocking mixing on the crossovers, ugh!

Listen, enjoy.

Track list:

Air France - Collapsing at your Doorstep
Atlas Sound - Quick Canal
Telefon Tel Aviv - The Birds
Saxon Shore - Tokyo 412am
M83 - We Own the Sky
Trembling Blue Stars - Sacred Music
CocoRosie - K-Hole
Deerhunter - Agoraphobia
Lou Reed - PerfectDay

I'm addicted to the Lou Reed at the moment, mainly as it makes me picture little Ewan McGregor falling into the floor boards.



p.s. Merry Christmas (belatedly)

Herzog






In the midst of a routine of a 9am-3am working day, beavering away at various Adobe suite programs and pulling my hair out over UHU glue not sticking pieces of perspex together, this film was a beautiful respite.
Herzog narrates a wonderfully light hearted and funny, yet somewhat poignant (in a really unassuming way) documentary on the everyday life of Antarctica in his film 'Encounters at the End of the World'. Best shots involve a rock show with an audience of less than 5 on the roof of a hut, surrounded by a stunning landscape of white as well as a deranged single penguin, waddling wildly towards the mountains and away from its colony and the sea.

-Watch it.
