Only thing I have to say, finally a consistent album from The Raveonettes. By the way new album coming next week (6.10.2009).

Lust Lust Lust, The Raveonettes

Family Tree, TV on the Radio {YouTube}

“Anda my love

Wake up to your window

The day calls in billows

It’s echoing moonlight onto the blue nightmare of your heart

In cosy red rainbow

It’s shaking off halos

And the memory of our sacred so and so

Oh take my hand sweet

Complete your release unbury your feet

And married we’ll be

Alone in receiving ours is a feeling not that they would see

They don’t know that we could be

Down where your cradle escaped the sea

And your raven haired Mama cought told you so’s

Were hanging in the shadow of your family tree

Your haunted heart and me

Brought down by an old idea whose time has come

And in the shadow of the gallows of your family tree

There’s a hundred hearts or three

Pumping blood to the roots of evil to keep them young

Ah me all mine

Is it safe to say that we’ve waited patiently

Call me on time

And recall the tune that has place us gracefully

All into line

There’s the garden grave and a place they’ve saved for you

I’ll fall by your side

Though your silver haired Mama throws told you so’s

Were laying in the shadow of your family tree

Your haunted heart and me

Brought down by an old idea whose time has come

And in the shadow of the gallows of your family tree

There’s a hundred hearts or three

Pumping blood to the roots of evil to keep it young

And now we’ll gather in the shadow of your family tree

In haunted harmony

Brought down by an old idea whose time has come

And in the shadow of the valley of your family tree

There’s a hundred hearts or three

Pumping blood to the roots of evil to keep us young”

If not the best, Before Sunrise is one of the best romance movies I’ve ever watched. Why? Because of its simplicity. Unlike the usual romance movie formula – couple in love with something between them (family, distance, culture…), there is nothing between. The argument of the film is just natural dialogue while wandering on the streets of Vienna during less than 24 hours. This movie is for the romance genre as Apocalypse Now is for war.

During my usual after movie reading, I noticed that it was directed by Richard Linklater, director of Dazed and Confused which I’ve watched one week ago. The similarities are evident, time frame of a single day, simple argument based fully on natural dialogues. I also have the DVD of Before Sunrise sequel, Before Sunset next to me…

Deerhoof was one of the most insane concerts I’ve experienced, they are unique and experimental both on studio and stage. Greg Saunier drum style is as close as it gets from the Animal. Here is a clip of a live performance of Spirit Ditties of No Tone and Giga Dance.

By the way, some photos of the concert, Tavastia – Helsinki (22.4.2009), by TimoH:
