The Sundays "Love"
picture myself as a thin white child
back to the day I was born on
they slapped me into line as it crossed my mind
I've felt better
I've felt worse
this is my life and it's all very well but never again
as they say "we've been robbed"
and don't you know that this time
love, just love yourself like no one else
love, it's enough
they can say what they like but they still can't take that
distance myself from the things I'd like but
everyone has something I need
don't let me wake up & find
all those others leaving me behind
if you don't have a clue about life
then I'm happy to say neither have I
although I'm not going to shrug my shoulders & suck my thumb
this time
cos there's something I deserve
love, just love yourself like no one else
love, it's enough
they can say what they like but they still can't take that
picture my house in a postcard town
picture a bomb in the sky
history at the door who could ask for more?
I've felt better
so kill me with love
just love yourself like no one else
time's so scarce where I come from
let them say what they like cos they still can't take your love

One of the nice things about living in the hot desert in the summer is an amazing shot like this with your phone.

Coachella 2010!!
Here is the line-up for Coachella 2010, for the time being. I will be working at the Zia Records tent for the second year in a row! I gotta see Grizzly Bear among a few (dozen). Perhaps I'll be motivated enough to post another lengthy blog entry on my experiences this year.
Drop by the tent if you are lucky enough to make it out this year!!

Ksenyia Simonova
Before watching this amazing Video Clip, first read the following….
This video shows the winner of "Ukraine’s Got Talent", Kseniya Simonova, 24, drawing a series of pictures on an illuminated sand table showing how ordinary people were affected by the German invasion during World War II. Her talent, which admittedly is a strange one, is mesmeric to watch.
The images, projected onto a large screen, moved many in the audience to tears and she won the top prize of about $130,000.00
She begins by creating a scene showing a couple sitting holding hands on a bench under a starry sky, but then warplanes appear and the happy scene is obliterated.
It is replaced by a woman’s face crying, but then a baby arrives and the woman smiles again. Once again war returns and Miss Simonova throws the sand into chaos from which a young woman’s face appears.
She quickly becomes an old widow, her face wrinkled and sad, before the image turns into a monument to an Unknown Soldier.
This outdoor scene becomes framed by a window as if the viewer is looking out on the monument from within a house..
In the final scene, a mother and child appear inside and a man standing outside, with his hands pressed against the glass, saying goodbye.
The Great Patriotic War, as it is called in Ukraine, resulted in one in four of the population being killed with eight to 11 million deaths out of a population of 42 million.
Kseniya Simonova says:
"I find it difficult enough to create art using paper and pencils or paintbrushes, but using sand and fingers is beyond me. The art, especially when the war is used as the subject matter, even brings some audience members to tears. And there’s surely no bigger compliment."
