So I haven’t updated in a while.
I guess I haven’t had anything of real significance to say. Things have been up and down, but I’m hoping from hereon they’ll continue to go up. More recently though, I managed to catch a stomach bug which meant for a few days I was glued to the toilet constantly throwing up. Nasty thing. But I’m over the worst of it now- and I’m left with a talent for being extremely shitty at photography, uninspired and pretty anti-social, but hey ho, that’s the way it goes. I’ll get back into the swing of things… hopefully by the time my birthday celebrations roll on by (speaking of which, my birthday is in 12 days. that’s the 26th- birthday wishes are accepted, as is money. my actual birthday celebrations will be on the 31st, so if any of you feel it in your waters that you will be here on that evening, do come by).
The more specific point to this entry though is to talk about my current favourite song by Blaqk Audio - Between Breaths (an XX Perspective). I always enjoyed listening to this song, from the moment I heard it on their album Cexcells, I instantly grew to like it, due to its sound slightly reminiscent to that of Soft Ballets. However, it was only this evening when I decided to look at the lyrics (since I gathered it would be a smarter idea to find out what they are instead of occasionally chirping in the word ‘please’ and ‘take it’) that I fell in love with the song instantly. Reading the lyrics, you could compare it to Nine Inch Nails’ ‘Closer’, and while I like both the song and NIN, frankly I think this pisses all over it, despite perhaps not being Havok’s best lyrics (but then you could argue the same about Reznors).
It’s been a long time when I’ve read the lyrics to a song and instantly fell attatched to it. I almost feel seduced by it. It brings back memories of something which you can all probably guess based on looking the lyrics on surface value alone.
I urge you all to listen to this song, even if you’re not a fan of Blaqk Audio/AFI. Anybody who likes EBM/Dance/Industrial/NIN-esque music should like it.
I miss Ben.
