GOOD FRIENDS WITH BAD HABITS

good friends with bad habits,
what am I to do?
they're literary romantics,
they fuck like Wilde,
and indulge like Hemingway.

I've good friends with bad habits
and a tendency towards negligence.
just petty thieves and addicts,
that don't hurt anyone
but they'll burn anyway.

well sometimes,
like every time
a train passes,
i get jealous of the long nights,
and blurred lights,
the red eyes,
the bar fights.
where in the hell am i?
and how did i get here?
and which way to the nearest train?

well sometimes,
like every time she breathes,
i embrace my routine.

I've good friends with bad habits.
what am i to do?
they're literary romantics,
they'll fuck like Wilde,
and die like Hemingway.

This is beginning to become a kinsella worship blog........They are modern day geniuses though!


OWEN - GOOD FRIENDS WITH BAD HABITS




Eugene mirman funny funny guy!





Gregory Crewdson is an American photographer who takes surreal stepford wives esq photos of American homes and neighbourhoods. Crewdson, who as a teenager was a member of the new york punk band the speedies, has been taking photos since the 80's and has taught photography at many U.S. universities. His pictures appeals to me a lot because of the dark surrealistic nature of his scenes, you can definitely see his influence in my previously featured artists alex prager and fellow New Yorker lyndon wades work.

Uh-oh someone tipped a whole load of emo into philadelphias reservoir and the natives have been churning out some sweet sweet music. Check out all these bands below! Most have split up already and most of the bands are the same guys in different bands but still check them out!

I want the blindingly cute to confide in me......

So I'm going to be posting some music/films/pictures that I think are fucking awesome, for no other reason than, they're fucking awesome and you always have room for some more awesome shit in your life! The photo above is by San Fran based artist and photographer Merkley??? I first discovered this guys work after he did the press shots for one of my favourite Dj/producers Claude vonstroke which you can see here.
Merkely??? creates his amazing supersaturated images using nothing more than ordinary cameras, available lighting and the magical photoshop. His artwork is even more surreal than his photo's and I literally have spent hours just staring at his website which you can find here.





Native from eerie Indiana combine kinsella style riff tappery with youth crew shout alongs and dance worthy basslines. To put it simply these guys fucking own. Their debut e.p. we delete; erase, has not left my c.d. drive since I got it (over a week ago) and I have been eratically shouting their lyrics at my computer screen all week. They're on sargent house records (These arms are snakes, daughters, this town needs guns) in america and big scary monsters records (pulled apart by horses, tubelord, meet me in st.louis) will be releasing "We Delete; Erase" on April 20th in the UK and Europe. If you like the track below please buy the record from big scary monsters webstore as record sales in the uk will greatly increase the chances of the band doing some uk shows and I for one definately want to see these guys in my town.
