Bubble Wrap For Your Soul
Portland, 2008
My memory seems to fade faster and faster with age, as I am now reminded on a constant basis by a certain special someone, maybe as a way to help improve my memory....... This blog is a way for me to remember a certain moment in time, mainly in some abstract form. I spent this past extended weekend in Portland, which was planned and booked 48 hours before the trip. A spontaneous excursion with someone I have known for a little over 3 weeks. How it ended up, and what exactly took place, is not up for debate, but I would like to jot some notes down as if this blog were my 3x5 card memory aid for the trip.

-green apple burps
-dick cheney by the elevator

back to reality.............maybe
The Pixies - Break My Body - originally from the Surfer Rosa album, this is a live version from the late 80's.
Hanne Hukkelberg - Break My Body (Live) - taking some liberties with the lyrics, this live flute-infused version of the Pixies track is better than the original. a soft and piercing voice that opens like a tragic hallmark card that will never be made.
Flying Lotus - Robo Tussin Ft. Lil Wayne - take one of the best producers right now with the hottest hip hop artist today. for all of lil wayne's commercial appeal, he still has one foot in the underground. and you can't deny the new albums from lil wayne as well as flying lotus are 2 of the best albums out right now. get los angeles from flying lotus out on Warp , the Blue Note of electronic music.
Bus - Treasure Island - i'm thinking that if you were molasses and you went into a ball crawl, at let's say, Chuck E Cheese, this would be the song that would best describe your excursion. remember, don't step on any kids and avoid the giant rat.
Labels: bus, flying lotus, hanne hukkelberg, lil wayne, the pixies
