Collage. Face.

I started this blog as an outlet for my collaging - and yet this is the first time i've posted my own collage. This is something i like to do (and impose it on my friends during drunken nights). I have stacks and stacks of them. Anyway... most recently:

Hint: Apples

So there are a whole bunch of thoughts that i really feel like blogging about because they are so on me brain, but then what if so-and-so browses my blog or google search results reveal my true feelings about such-and-such? So i'll be cryptic.

As with the wind spreading dandelion spoors, gravity can make the apple fall far far from the tree. Two apples from the same tree can even end up different colors, so that if they were presented to you on two separate plates you'd think they were unrelated brands of fruit.

Moments

I went to the ION Magazine party last Saturday. It took place in an old abandoned bank on Main & 2nd Avenue in Vancouver. It was very raw and original and there was free chocolate and gum everywhere. Needless to say, i scooped as many chocolate bars as i could fit in my purse; i'm just that kind of girl. They are called Cadbury Moments - 8 individually wrapped pieces of solid chocolate with soft gooey chocolate in the middle (per bar).

Having a plethora of free, soft chocolate is an absolute hazard for me. I have been eating ludicrous amounts of the stuff. Yesterday it felt like my blood was vibrating. It wasn't until this very moment that i realized it may have been from consuming detrimental quantities of chocolate goo. My veins got snakey and i felt nauseous. To illustrate to you how i felt, i have found these paintings by Jack Morefield:

Do you feel it? No? Grab yourself about 75 Moments, eat them in 3 days, and you will. Guar-an-teed.

RemixFace

I was listening to my music collection earlier, doing ye old spring cleaning whilst blasted on pot, and KAPOW! i was hit with a case of the "this is TOTALLY AWESOME"'s and every song that came on the jook melted my brain a little more. This was the moment i fell-in-love-all-over-again with two remix EPs: Junior Boys "Dead Horse EP" and The Raveonettes "Remixed". I rushed over to Hype Machine to heart these songs for my stream when i realized that the perfectly balanced rock/electro Trentmoeller remix of Raveonettes' Lust was not on there. The world deserves this track (and be patient with it because it gets progressively better and better):

This one, however, was on there, courtesy of the talented illustrator Lauren Hrybyk. It's the kind of track that you can shake yer azz to while getting ready for the Playas Ball Penthouse Party. I should know, cuz i'm going there. Red carpet, biznitches! Meow.

So Over Vocoder

Does anyone like autotune and vocoder anymore? Q of the day, fo rilzz. If you can't sing, maybe you shouldn't try. Maybe you should just make the instrumental part... like Mimosa. But if you CAN sing, like Peaches, for example... maybe you should just keep up the good work, Merrill.
