this is a one-take song, made as soundtrack for this , soberly titled, vibe-wise slightly inspired by b. springsteen’s ‘state trooper’, which i heard in the closing credits of a sopranos episode. very cathartic.
-
very off-topic, but if above’s images have a clear history, you better spend time on contemplating the provenience of sound. from left to right: ariel pink, matt mondanile of real estate and ducktails, guy i don’t know, kurt vile, in barcelona earlier this year, with jamie xx performing in the far background.

this song has been hanging around for a while. i don’t love it, because it’s kauderwelsch and just layered of randomness. i’m looking for comfort in a beat.

13 [drölf]

as this song will never have a finished, or better, final form, i will just keep bombarding you with ‘versions’ of it from time to time. this is a fun one for both the hair and the scissor, i would guess.
-
that’s me in 50 years.
12 [zwölf]
-
spiegel im spiegel becomes a little nicely dissonant when played through a sampler. excuse the synth in the beginning. tomorrow i’m in london for 16 hours. maybe i’ll meet somebody.
-
this track might be almost as much an anachronism as the artifact shown above. i saw a nice slogan yesterday: FRÜHER WAR ALLES BESSER, NUR ICH NICHT.
11 [elf]
-
maybe i should stop having my drops confirmed by rock people. still so far away from the ever-blending endless dance dramaturgies i admire. then again, i can be schooled by my own songs, or by playing a stoned show, or by being sad and slow, or by just having a lot of time. four is a magic number. but then again so is five.
-
the nice people at my dockville kunstcamp show, sunset, 2 weeks before it all blew up in mud and rain, as far as i heard.
10 [zehn]
-
this edits a very very old song. and might sound a little ..hm.. empty on your laptopz. i was surprised myself, believe me, it’s floor-tested.

as is this guy, and his bone. rüsselsheim, 07/2011

half a year ago i was invited to play a DJ set at picknick, berlin. i’m not a real dj, but if somebody asks me i do it and i like it. for this set i got a little too excited as it was only a garage in the back of the building with a little bar, half outside, some lost summer acolytes, and me playing almost every mp3 i have for 6 hours, pushing the button on the fog machine once in a while. but in preparation i made some supposedly clubby edits of songs and songs-to-be, and there you have it.

that is the ghost of a whale on my hand, earlier this year.

8 [acht]

i’m in a real labyrinth of how i think lyrics should be. i’m intrigued by the clear-ness and face-ness and truth-ness of all the rap and r’n’b i’ve been listening to. i’m against content-less nature-lyricism anyway, but how hard should one tie those riddles? off to the studio.

i saw myself on tv, said a lot of ‘so’. rihanna played in poland yesterday. gute besserung, brother p. ovidius naso. i’m growing my hair long, to be looking like clearly not military. if i don’t write sth down, i forget it.
-
that’s me & dustin dollin (!) at the airport in vienna, i made him listen to shabazz palaces (“that is stoner rap!”) and i listened to small sidney bands he records for free.

an archive.org cylinder recording i can’t refind and the walkmen’s lisbon horn section and a beat, and i don’t know a few hours too much time a year ago.
-
photo: adam by the pool, looking down on primavera sound ‘11. to get up there, i shared the lift with the walkmen singer. he was very tall and had a safari kind of suit. i telepathed a thank-you-for-everything.

like i said before, of all specific environments or platformish attractions of nature, the sea beats the other contestants, especially mountains in being something to look at for hours. because it moves, because it noises.

3 [drei]
-
number three on the map, number two in that mix, this is based on Kyst’s ‘Friend Now’. gah, i’m already late on things. who will put a man-da-ri-ne in my boots. mandarin makes me think of Lamont Cranston.
-
photo shows, relatedly, sth. the shoe sales girl had on her desk, in greenpoint, brooklyn, where i bought slippers, when/because iceland had killed my shoes.

2 [zwei]

this is the starting point of a mixtapish thing i’ll reveal track by track by (sketchy, clumsy, forgotten, unfinished) track. yesterday britney spears turned 30. think about life!
