09.20.09 | w.a.s.t.e. photo shoot
About a week again I met up with the guys from w.a.s.t.e. to do a quick photo shoot. You can view some of the photos here.
09.04.09 | Let it die
This image still fascinates me. Not because of the people in it, or the event where it was taken at, or even the memories that it invokes. What fascinates me is the “last supper” quality of it. The way the photographer was able to capture so much in such a split second. Zoe looking down on Lumi with her wild near-silver hair. Xtina taking a picture of yours truly as I stand between Dania and Darlene. Darlene looking distracted by something off-camera, and Matt looking at his (now) ex-girlfriend as she snaps my picture. The sad thing is, I don’t even remember who took it.

08.20.09 | Mad Men Season-3
The new season of Mad Men started with some thrills, but for the most part, it was rather anticlimactic. This isn’t a huge complain, and I can tell that they are setting stuff up for more explosive episodes, but the fan in me really wanted to see some crazy revelation or jaw-dropping plot twist. Regardless, I will be glued to the TV screen again on Sunday night, which is becoming “TV Night” around here, with three excellent HBO shows (Hung, Entourage, True Blood) and now Mad Men. I’m surprised I ever get anything done on the weekends.

08.08.09 | Collapse into a dream
The Horrors’ second album, Primary Colors, came out a while ago, but for some odd reason I can’t stop listening to it. While some of their older fans are still a little puzzled by the sound of this album, and don’t really know what to make of it, it only took me one listen to realized it’s greatness. The traces of that old zombie garage sound are almost nonexistent, but you can still catch glimpses of them in songs like “New Ice Age”, but I must admit that while I love their first album, I do not miss the sound at all.
Primary Colors almost sounds like a who is who of early goth and dark wave without sounding like a clone of bands such as Echo and the Bunnymen, Bauhaus or even the most copied of them all, Joy Division. The album stands strong and on it’s own thanks to masterful production by several people including Portishead’s Geoff Barrow and director Chris Cunninham. The moody sounds of the album begs to be filed next to albums such as The Cure’s Disintegration and The Damned’s Phantasmagoria. I suggest listening to the whole album, but if you must listen to only a few tracks, I recommend “Scarlett Fields”, “Who Can Say” and “Sea Within a Sea”.
