Make 1 2

sometimes life is just so hard.. two weeks working on my tan in croatia, followed by 3 days of musical intrigue at flow festival. (sighs) the only way i can conquer such misery is to spend a goodly amount of time today on the couch, soothing my over-stressed mind with some smooth beats..

mr arthur russell shouldn't need any introduction.. his classic, lo-fi sounds are perfect for all forms of couch session, and his song "make 1 2" is no different. sprinkled with horns, percussion and a gently persuasive keyboard line, "make 1 2" is doing more than just fine on my pre-pre festival drinks rotation.

Ladyhawke - Paris Is Burning

this is a nice (if slightly mystifying) clip that follows ms hawke as she wanders down streets (parisien streets?).. not a whole lot happens but it does have a nice pace and feel to it.. i hate to rag on ladyhawke cos i do enjoy her very much.. but maybe she can work on her lipsyncing a bit.....?
in any case, a quality track that has grown on me heaps.. i reckon it has a lot more depth musically then back of the van. am really looking forward to more from her. so yea.. in case you missed them::::::
