WEEKEND, BABY

To say that I am pretty darn excited about this weekend would be a massive understatement. Friday night I get to witness this in full glory and I'm absolutely LAVSHWv vsjwvg!!!!!!! (for lack of better words).

I also have Robyn and Renee's bird-themed birthday on Saturday which I'm quite psyched for. Busy making a flamingo top (not unlike Bjork's swan dress) of which I will post a picture when I'm done.

And now, besides all of that, apparently 5 Gum SA are bringing Two Door Cinema Club down to our shores in March, playing one gig in Joburg on the 2nd and one in Cape Town on the 3rd? Thing is though, you can't actually buy tickets, but instead keep your eye on their Facebook page HERE or follow them on twitter @5GumSA to find out how you can get hold of a ticket. Also keep the hashtag #5GumExperience in mind. Details to be announced next week.

MY GOD, have I turned into some kind of music blogger? I'll stop now.

Two Door Cinema Club - What You Know (Das Kapital Rerub)

Kyle (AKA Das Kapital) makes some nice chooooooonz. Here's a rerub he did of Two Door Cinema Club's 'What You Know'.

Don't EVER pay him a compliment IRL.

And ignore the fact that he hasn't realised that circles are the new triangles. Bless!

COOL, NOW LISTEN:

NICO

This post is mostly because I can't sleep (had one of those nasty Monster Energy Drinks again, fml), but also because I love Nico and because I decided to use 'All Tomorrow's Parties' by The Velvet Underground & Nico as my song at my Graduate Show on Friday. Yerrp.

And what costume shall the poor girl wear

To all tomorrow's parties

A hand-me-down dress from who knows where

To all tomorrow's parties

And where will she go, and what shall she do

When midnight comes around

She'll turn once more to Sunday's clown and cry behind the door

And what costume shall the poor girl wear

To all tomorrow's parties

Why silks and linens of yesterday's gowns

To all tomorrow's parties

And what will she do with Thursday's rags

When Monday comes around

She'll turn once more to Sunday's clown and cry behind the door

And what costume shall the poor girl wear

To all tomorrow's parties

For Thursday's child is Sunday's clown

For whom none will go mourning

A blackened shroud

A hand-me-down gown

Of rags and silks - a costume

Fit for one who sits and cries

For all tomorrow's parties

DEVENDRA

Now I don't know much about music and I'm certainly not going to pretend that I do, but I know when something sounds nice to me and I know that Devendra Banhart sounds more than just nice. (Also, I'm sorry that my vocabulary only includes the word 'nice' tonight). My little brother Dirk and I can spend hours finding entertainment in his lyrics when we're bored and even when we're not bored. THEY ARE THAT NICE!

LITTLE YELLOW SPIDER

Little yellow spider laughing at the snow
Well maybe that spider knows something that I don't know
Cuz I'm goddamn cold

Little white monkey staring at the sand
Maybe that monkey figured out something I couldn't understand
Who knows

Well I came upon a dancing crab and I stopped to watch it shake, I said,
'Dance for me just one more time before ya hibernate,
and ya come out a crab cake'

And hey there little snapping turtle, snapping at a shell
Oh there's mysteries inside I know
But what they are I just can't tell for sure

And hey there little baby crow, you're looking kind of mean
I think I oughta split before ya start letting off your steam
For sure

And hey there little sexy pig, you mated with a man
And now you've got a little kid
With hooves instead of hands

And oh all of the animals, all of the animals

And hey there little mockingbird, they sing about you in songs
'Oh where ya been? Have ya broke a wing?'
I haven't heard ya in so long

And hey there little albatross, swimming in the air
'Aw, come on you know I can't fly and I
Think we really oughta play fair'

And hey there mister happy squid, you move so psychedelically
You hypnotize with your magic dance all the animals in the sea
For sure

And oh all of the animals, all the animals

And hey there Mr. Morning Sun, what kind of creature are you
I can't stare, but I know you're there
Goddamn, how I wish I knew

And hey there Mrs. Lovely Moon, you're lonely and you're blue
It's kind of strange the way you change
But then again we all do, too.

BUT BESIDES THE MUSIC DEVENDRA IS ALSO RATHER NICE TO LOOK AT. ENJOY

(CAN YOU TELL I'M REALLY INTO MEN TONIGHT?)

This is the story of a country girl
Back in town from her country house
She came to me with her muddy boots
She destroyed all my carpets
You know how to do it
Wonder milky bitch
You never wear cosmetic
You don't like arithmetic
You know how to do it
Wonder milky bitch
Tasting,touching,swallowing me
Drinking me like bloody mary
You know how to do it
Wonder milky bitch
You don't wear cosmetic
You don't like arithmetic
You know how to do it
Wonder milky bitch
Tasting, touching, swallowing me
Drinking me like bloody mary
Wonder milky bitch
Wonder milky bitch
Wonder milky bitch
Wonder milky bitch

it's almost ma birthday and all i wanna do on the day is listen to in da club
sweet

fav

My friend has my favorite teeth
They bend backwards when she breathes
And it whistles
And sweetness is all sweetness was
Bees are blackeyed birds that buzz
And my love has my favorite ears
They lean forwards when she hears
Well evil is all evil was
Birds are blue-eyed knees that buzz

And i said oh michigan, michigan state
How i'd love to live in you
Oh i've never been to michigan state
Still i'd wanna live in you

And you can't talk without your tongue
Don't try and drown without your lungs son
Well my snail has my favorite slow
The shell helps the snail still the skin lays low
And if my snail has my favorite slow
Then my cold has my favorite snow
But if my snail's cold and comes to a halt
Then my sea has my favorite salt
The salt keeps the sea from feeling sweet
And my toes have my favorite feet
And if i sweat salt
And the earth sweats heat

Oh michigan, michigan state
How i'd love to live in you
I've never been to michigan state
Still i'd want to live in you
Michigan state state state state

home is wherever i'm with you

Him: Jade
Her: Alexander
Him: Do you remember that day you fell outta my window?
Her: I sure do, you came jumping out after me.
Him: Well, you fell on the concrete, nearly broke your ass, you were bleeding all over the place and I rushed you out to the hospital, you remember that?
Her: Yes I do.
Him: Well there's something I never told you about that night.
Her: What didn't you tell me?
Him: While you were sitting in the backseat smoking a cigarette you thought was gonna be your last, I was falling deep, deeply in love with you, and I never told you til just now.

you can't say no to me

a precious kiss from your lucious lips
is more than any man could stand
a glimpse underneath your silverskirt is a miracle
the scent of your skin your ivory skin
is the thing one would
kill a man in an instant to get close to

but i'll wait for the day you will see
you can't say no to me

one more day is a life spent
that I would give anything
to be the one that tears of your wings

but I'll wait for the day you will see
you can't say no to me
and everything is gonna be ok
it's gonna be ok
