the greatest thing we can offer is to be great listeners.
despite all of our charming qualities and talents, there always seems to be an emotional characteristic that when measured, will make us fall short. in relationships, this emotional inability is the game changer. sometimes we expect people to accept our flaws, hoping that it wouldn't alter our value in someway.
but at some point, once the extra work and patience has worn off, the absence of something important will eventually tip the scales into a negative balance. in the new single, "how come you never go there" from feist, not only has someone let her down, but she's got a few things to get off her chest.
feist's highly anticipated new record, metals, hits stores october 4th.

i tried to pay attention but attention paid me.
the latest weezy and drake collabo drifts on dirtier tones but deals with an all too familiar subject between them: women. allocated to just chorus duties, drake sounds smooth on the hook describing the many reasons groupies wanna get down in their world.

space to breathe and time to savor.
sometimes love allows for a certain amount of forgetfulness - forgetting that other people exist or forgetting that anything else matters except for seeing/spending time/sexing the person you adore. the latest A side single, "clamoring for your heart" from LA four piece princeton notes the gaps in people, places and things that love temporarily wedges between circumstances.
the equally charming B side, "this weather, a swimmer" floats on the opposite side of love. the divisions have moved from acceptable forgetfulness to specific neglect. by the end you've already waved goodbye and watched it all disappear in your rear view mirror.

who doesn't enjoy a good haunted house? well it looks as if the three gents from toro y moi's new clip certainly did - even if they got more than they bargained for. despite experiencing death by bubble gum, spaghetti and a flying DVD, the guys end up making the best of their new supernatural situation and celebrate with a dance among their fellow friendly ghosts.

it doesn't feel like i'm a part of your life. it feels like i'm on vacation.
earlier tonight, i caught an advanced screening of bellflower. i'd seen the trailer and was not quite sure was the movie was even about, but the early reviews were intriguing enough for me to want to check it out (at least a free screening).
bellflower is the small budget brainchild of one evan glodell. pulling a triple threat, he wrote, directed and starred in this indie darling that faired pretty well at both sxsw and sundance. for me, the biggest appeal of the film was the beautiful way the movie is captured. filmed with an exclusive hand built camera, every color, shade, movement and explosion is highly idealized. each frame is intensified by a haze of fury and passion that seeps into your consciousness, eagerly awaiting what's next.
while the acting is subpar at certain intervals and the movie takes a second to pick up some stream, it definitely was a visual assault i'm still trying to process. i'm still undecided about how much of the film i really enjoyed. but the film does succeed in leaving a last impression. whether it's a good or bad one, i'm sure will lead to some interesting future discussions.
bellflower will be unleashed in certain theaters this friday.
