Lili and Zack

Camille's children Lili and Zack at Lili's third birthday party:

I have always loved children. My uterus felt really unhappy and exceptionally vacant being around so many young mothers.

Don't cry for me, Jesus

I'm doin' alright.

In the Sun

“Baby One More Time” in 1960?


The video for She & Him's "In the Sun" premiered today on Pitchfork. It is a very pleasant song, and a feel-good video, but I have to admit, I am growing tired of current artistic endeavors exactly replicating previous decades. Don’t get me wrong, I love vintage ‘everything’, but it is much more exciting to find items and music created during the time, rather than acquiring something imitative in the present. Each decade before this one contains a great deal of inspiration that should be used to create something fresh and new, not to reproduce every detail that made it great. At this rate, in 50 years, artists and musicians will have no choice but to go further than the 21st century for inspiration.

'Time'

A THOUGHT SUGGESTED BY THE NEW YEAR

Thomas Campbell (1837)


The more we live, more brief appear
Our life's succeeding stages:
A day to childhood seems like a year,
And years like passing ages.

The gladsome current of our youth,
Ere passions yet disorders,
Steals, lingering like a river smooth,
Along its grassy borders.

But as the care-worn cheek grows wan,
And sorrow's shafts fly thicker,
Ye stars, that measure life to man,
Why seem your courses quicker?

When joys have lost their bloom and breath,
And life itself is vapid,
Why, as we reach the Falls of death,
Feel we its tide more rapid?

It may be strange-yet who would change
Time's course to slower speeding;
When one by one our friends have gone,
And left our bosoms bleeding?

Heaven gives our years of fading strength
Indemnifying fleetness;
And those of youth, a seeming length,
Proportioned to their sweetness.

My music library on last.fm has been refusing to stream since 2:00pm. I have had “Red Right Ankle” on repeat ever since.
