Thomas Dolby
Thomas Dolby - She Blinded Me With Science
It's poetry in motion
She turned her tender eyes to me
As deep as any ocean
As sweet as any harmony
Mmm - but she blinded me with science
"She blinded me with science!"
And failed me in biology
When I'm dancing close to her
"Blinding me with science - science!"
I can smell the chemicals
"Blinding me with science - science!"
"Science!"
"Science!"
Mmm - but it's poetry in motion
And when she turned her eyes to me
As deep as any ocean
As sweet as any harmony
Mmm - but she blinded me with science
And failed me in geometry
When she's dancing next to me
"Blinding me with science - science!"
"Science!"
I can hear machinery
"Blinding me with science - science!"
"Science!"
It's poetry in motion
And now she's making love to me
The spheres're in commotion
The elements in harmony
She blinded me with science
"She blinded me with science!"
And hit me with technology
"Good heavens Miss Sakamoto - you're beautiful!"
I -
I don't believe it!
There she goes again!
She's tidied up, and I can't find anything!
All my tubes and wires
And careful notes
And antiquated notions
But! - it's poetry in motion
And when she turned her eyes to me
As deep as any ocean
As sweet as any harmony
Mmm - but she blinded me with science
"She blinded me with - with science!"
She blinded me with -
New Stuff: Barack Obama
I'm intending to give this as a Christmas gift to my niece, but wanted to have a look at it myself first.
New Stuff: Whiter Shades of Pale
Second book from Richard Lander's hilarious Stuff White People Like blog.
John Cale
John Cale - Sabotage/Live (1979)
Life is short and love is very sweet
Look at all the people running from their lives in the street
What're they running from?
What are they running from?
Well, god, damn it, ask them
I wanna know, too
Read and destroy everything you read in the press
Read and destroy everything you read in books
It's a waste of time
It's a waste of energy
It's a waste of paper
And it's a waste of ink
Whatever you read in the books, leave it there
The word for it is:
Sabotage, sabotage
Sabotage, sabotage
The military intelligence isn't what it used to be
So waht, human intelligence what it used to be either
It's a rising expectation
It's a rising of the tide
The wards will discharge all their patients in teh streets
Are they hurt again? they are mine, yeah, murderer
Sabotage, sabotage, sabotage

Frank O'Hara
TODAY Oh! kangaroos, sequins, chocolate sodas! You really are beautiful! Pearls, harmonicas, jujubes, aspirins! all the stuff they've always talked about still makes a poem a surprise! These things are with us every day even on beachheads and biers. They do have meaning. They're strong as rocks.
New Stuff: O.S.T. - Wonder Boys
I ordered this soundtrack especially for Bob Dylan's song 'Things Have Changed' which won him an Academy Award and since its got more good music on it.
The movie itself was the very last movie and a great success in my cinema, before I had to close it.
Anna Karenina (1935)
_05.jpg)
The married Anna Karenina falls in love with a Count despite her husband's refusal to grant a divorce, and both must contend with the social repercussions.
Classic and still crisp Hollywood adaptation of the Tolstoy novel, accurately executed despite the expected abridgements.
New Stuff: The Rolling Stones
Although this album is generally not rated well, I must admit that I always have enjoyed it very much. It's not just a Sgt. Pepper's rip-off to me, the psychedelics are genuinely creepy here and transmit a very cool sense of other-worldliness.
