Barcodes On Flowers: Hijo Unico →
Awesome - thank you!
barcodesonflowers:
I grew up surrounded by siblings, yet I grew up an only child, Blood never set fire to me, they always said my dreams were wild, I spent hours alone playing football, ‘it’s not tangible’ they said, They told me to cut my hair, you encouraged me to blossom, you taught me to always be…

Northern Ireland Music Awards
Gosh, where do I even start?
So Alternative Ulster & the Oh Yeah Centre recently convened, found 70 ‘industry’ types (that are being kept secret) and voted on varying categories in order to come up with the Northern Ireland Music Awards.
My first though upon hearing this was ‘I never heard of the voting for this’, assuming that some vote had been sent out to be...
Music is/should be an Impulsion
One thing, that I now feel inspired to write about, is something that has cropped up time and time again over the last few months…. Music Writing.
To be more specific.. why and when we as musicians write music. I mean (and this is not knocking anyones style. it takes all types) when i hear musicians i know say that they haven’t written a song for 6 months but ‘have to soon,...

Heights
For as Long as i can Remember, I’ve only ever had one Constantly Reoccurring Dream:
I awake to Feel heavy wind blowing in my Face. I am Blindfolded and my Hands are tied behind my back. I am Sitting on a Chair, a hard chair. Beside me there are a few men whispering in a Foreign Accent. This goes on for quite some time, as my Panic-Levels Increase ten Fold. Suddenly a Door is Loudly opened and...

The Infinite Monkey Theorem
The infinite monkey theorem states that a monkey hitting keys at random on a typewriter keyboard for an infinite amount of time will almost surely type a given text, such as the complete works of William Shakespeare.
I adore Ricky Gervais. He’s always been the Cream of the Crop for me because he’s not only incredibly funny; he’s also incredibly intelligent. I was shocked to hear him mention...

I don’t know what magnetised me so much to this story, but it has really destroyed me a bit recently. I have read a zillion animal cruelty cases, but this one in particular stuck with me, and broke my heart over and over. How could anyone do this to a Dog? The fact it was tied up, then shot,...

Champagne Limousine
Send an Ambulance to my former employers home address i was the only supporting wall in a failing building Printing documents that were designed with fully open eyes Only to be met with a sea of fully closed eyes
I meet blue-eyed strangers at the scattered terminal gates suitcases are securely fastened to these traveling wrists I cannot deny the influence of influence on my life the determining...

I'm not Bouquet
I am a sad bouquet that’s fast asleep on the floor of a locked church. This is my last day on earth. I am a toy in the hands of the bride and groom. My stem is shaking like an earthquake in Tokyo, but my blossoms keep it hidden. My mother wanted me to bloom in a summer-house, not in a glitzy minefield. I’m drinking sugar-water to create energy so I can fly through the air into the arms of the...

Life is a ball of stale (or fresh) bubblegum
I’m 25 Years Old. Old enough to be a responsible parent and young enough to still harbour ‘beard-gaps’ in my facial hair real estate. In the same way i’m neither old or young; my life has neither been happy or sad. My childhood was terrible for many many reasons. I am the youngest of 7 children, and all my older siblings are...
On the ricky gervais golden globes thing...
“Ricky will not be invited back to host the show next year, for sure,” a member of the HFPA tells me, adding that Gervais’ relentlessly mean shtick could have even larger consequences. “For sure any movie he makes he can forget about getting nominated. He humiliated the organization last night and went too far with several celebrities whose representatives have already called to complain.”
