though The Beach, as a whole, is a shallow mess, this is one of the most perfect frames I've ever seen.

werner does antarctica

no one has a voice like werner. both Encounters at the End of the World and Sans Soleil are on instant netflix. this one is all on youtube, but dudes, its way too beautiful for that. get someone with the netflix and project it someplace.

perfect.

right before the screening my (v crushworthy) professor said: "there are meals that are so good that afterwards you throw it all up. sans soleil is one hundred times better than that, and leaves you starving for more"
I'm putting this under my pillow in hopes that it will dilute my brain.

sonic exorcism

note: exORcism, not like, running. I thought long and hard about how I wanted to gather the next eleven songs. I figure, at its best, songs have the power to reach in there, grab hold of the dark twistys, and wrench them out, with a crooked smile. When we need it most, it can be that saving grace, the exorcist of the Bad Places, and a portal to the Swell! These are so all over the place, so genre-ly scattered- but for good reason. It's like you went to eleven different doctors/healers/gurus/voodoos and they all prescribed something equally wonderful and vibrant, in each of their lovely ways. I have got deep admiration for these songs (e'specially 4, 5 and 6) and they come from good places. I really hope y'all enjoy them as much as me, as I know we're all inevitably in need (or, QUITE soon), given the finals-ness.

Sending a warm soul-squeeze out to each of you. Good luck
