“I wanted to give u here a special mix, with music, sounds, diferent mood, just to change, because we are LARGE, DOUX, and we love music in all the ways. I must say you that these days, I prefer to listen real instrumental music than electronic music, dunno why, maybe I get old !! eheheh”

vincent

vincent is a 1982 stop-motion short film written, designed and directed by tim burton and rick heinrichs.

 

Vincent Malloy is seven years old,
He’s always polite and does what he’s told.

For a boy his age he’s considerate and nice,
But he wants to be just like Vincent Price.

He doesn’t mind living with his sister, dog and cat,
Though he’d rather share a home with spiders and bats.

There he could reflect on the horrors he’s invented,
And wander dark hallways alone and tormented.

Vincent is nice when his aunt comes to see him,
But imagines dipping her in wax for his wax museum.

He likes to experiment on his dog Abacrombie,
In the hopes of creating a horrible zombie.

So he and his horrible zombie dog,
Could go searching for victims in the London fog.

His thoughts aren’t only of ghoulish crime,
He likes to paint and read to pass the time.

While other kids read books like Go Jane Go,
Vincent’s favorite author is Edgar Allen Poe.

One night while reading a gruesome tale,
He read a passage that made him turn pale.

Such horrible news he could not survive,
For his beautiful wife had been buried alive.

He dug out her grave to make sure she was dead,
Unaware that her grave was his mother’s flower bed.

His mother sent Vincent off to his room,
He knew he’d been banished to the tower of doom.

Where he was sentenced to spend the rest of his life,
Alone with a portrait of his beautiful wife.

While alone and insane, encased in his tomb,
Vincent’s mother suddenly burst into the room.

“If you want to you can go outside and play.
It’s sunny outside and a beautiful day.”

Vincent tried to talk, but he just couldn’t speak,
The years of isolation had made him quite weak.

So he took out some paper, and scrawled with a pen,
“I am possessed by this house, and can never leave it again.”

His mother said, “You’re not possessed, and you’re not almost dead.
These games that you play are all in your head.

You’re not Vincent Price, you’re Vincent Malloy.
You’re not tormented, you’re just a young boy.”

“You’re seven years old, and you’re my son,
I want you to get outside and have some real fun.”

Her anger now spent, she walked out through the hall,
While Vincent backed slowly against the wall.

The room started to sway, to shiver and creak.
His horrid insanity had reached its peak.

He saw Abacrombie his zombie slave,
And heard his wife call from beyond the grave.

She spoke from her coffin, and made ghoulish demands.
While through cracking walls reached skeleton hands.

Every horror in his life that had crept through his dreams,
Swept his mad laugh to terrified screams.
To escape the madness, he reached for the door,

So he and his horrible zombie dog,
But fell limp and lifeless down on the floor.

His voice was soft and very slow,
As he quoted The Raven from Edgar Allen Poe,

“And my soul from out that shadow floating on the floor,
Shall be lifted–Nevermore!”

christmas gift

“Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone
as we’re approaching this new year, I felt it was time to let go of some things that have been gathering dust. Some old things, and some new things, I tried to pick out tracks that I know yall haven’t heard yet so there should be surprises around every turn.
can’t believe i’ve been making tracks for over 10 years now..That said, there’s so much to learn still.
I hope you all enjoy this mix. Thanks to the Gaslamp Killer for doing an incredible job on this.
Can’t wait for you all to hear my album ‘Cosmogramma’ coming out April 20th 2010 on Warp Records.
Enjoy”

o t. enami ήταν γνωστός ιάπωνας φωτογράφος, ο οποίος έζησε από το 1859 έως το 1929 και δραστηριοποιήθηκε κυρίως στην yokohama. γεννημένος στο τόκυο, μαθήτευσε στον διάσημο φωτογράφο ogawa kazumasa (isshin) απο το 1885 μεχρι το 1890. το 1892 μετακόμισε στην yokohama όπου και άνοιξε το στούντιο του στη benten-dori street. εκεί λειτούργησε το “t. enami photographic studio” εως το 1929, εξυπηρετώντας τους τουρίστες με φωτογραφικά άλμπουμ, στερεογραφήματα και εκτυπώσεις όπου αναπαριστούσαν την ιαπωνία της εποχής. το στούντιο καταστράφηκε από ένα μεγάλο σεισμό που χτύπησε την περιοχή το σεπτεμβρίο του 1923, ο enami και η οικογένεια του επέζησε και ξανάνοιξε το studio στα τελη του 1920. μετά τον θάνατο του σε ηλικία 70 χρονών το 1929, ο πρωτότοκος γιος του tamotsu ανέλαβε το studio μέχρι που καταστράφηκε ξανά κατά την διάρκεια του δευτέρου παγκοσμίου πολέμου.

the fantastic symphony

η αισθητική του ernest greene aka washed out είναι απλά ονειρική. την μουσική του νομίζεις ότι την έχεις ξανακούσει αλλά πάλι αυτή η οικειότητα που σου βγάζει ο ήχος του είναι νομίζω ο λόγος που δεν μπορείς να σταματήσεις να την ακούς. την προηγούμενη εβδομάδα έκανε ένα mix για το platform, που μπορείς να κατεβάσεις εδώ. το εξώφυλλο το εχει φτιάξει ο mark weaver και ταιριάζει απολυτα με τον ήχο του ernest greene.
