the Horrors - “Death at the Chapel (D!rt Lab Remix)”
“One of the great reasons avant-garde music needs to exist is that it does not need to exist. It defies, momentarily, the glum, onward and upward propulsion of Western society into which the majority of us are whipped or whip ourselves, on a daily basis. It fails, successfully, to be commandeered into the ranks of function. It posits and evokes entirely alternative modes, worlds, possibilities, stepping off the tramlines and running aground on new, virgin territory. It goes nowhere. It repeats. It radiates energy, wastefully into the air. It leaks out from the grid. Yet none of this is a reason to condemn it as indulgent, or degenerate. It is the threat it notionally poses to civilization that makes it so supremely civilized. It is its refusal to be co opted by the forces that drive us on towards eventual death that make it so affirmative.”
—from David Stubbs’ Fear of Music

Today, while waiting for the bus, an old homeless man told me that I had nice eyes and that he wanted to marry me.
I really need to learn to drive.

“My method is different. I do not rush into actual work. When I get a new idea, I start at once building it up in my imagination, and make improvements and operate the device in my mind. When I have gone so far as to embody everything in my invention, every possible improvement I can think of, and when I see no fault anywhere, I put into concrete form the final product of my brain”
—Nikola Tesla (via drencrome)
There will always be a special place in my heart for Frédéric Chopin.

Play
If I ever become rich and/or powerful, I will own an Ondes Martenot.
Some days, I just want to listen to something so loud and tuneless and crazy it’ll burn my eardrums out.
This is one of those days.

I love it when vocals get so distorted that they don’t sound human anymore.
If I break another nail, I swear to god that I’m going to just cut this hand off.
