I never wanna see you a sad girl

Keep On Going
Karl KrolowI go around some street corners
and have an idea in my head clear as a picture
of time between March and October.
I like the cut-out
I'm moving around in,
slowly, toward change,
dying of something, while I
just keep on going, at least for the moment -
how do you write about
still being alive
among objects that are all used up
and possessions that shine,
lists without specifics, so to speak?
Some things just wait for me
to stop defending myself.
In the air
shining insects.

Talking only makes me feel more alone
Teddy Thompson: I'm Left, You're Right, She's Gone
“Talking only makes me feel more alone,”
you said once in the car outside the clinic.
Two years later, you spoke the same sentence
word for word one night after friends had gone.
Within a month, you’d erased yourself . . .
Erased? “To absent oneself,” I found scribbled on
a wrapper a year later . . .
Now sunlight and tree
shadow rush over the windshield of the car:
I’m talking with my new wife — then gone, absented.
“Sometimes I feel almost too much joy,”
you wrote from the balcony of your cheap
hotel in Paris. “What are you thinking?” she asks.
Light shutters across us. Wherever you are
in me I’m there, though it’s not what you wanted.

What New York used to be
//The Kills: What New York used to be
Dawn in New York has
four columns of mire
and a hurricane of black pigeons
splashing in the putrid waters.Dawn in New York groans
on enormous fire escapes
searching between the angles
for spikenards of drafted anguish.Dawn arrives and no one receives it in his mouth
because morning and hope are impossible there:
sometimes the furious swarming coins
penetrate like drills and devour abandoned children.Those that go out early know in their bones
there will be no paradise or loves that bloom and die:
they know they will be mired in numbers and laws,
in mindless games, in fruitless labors.The light is buried under chains and noises
in an impudent challenge to rootless science.
And crowds stagger sleeplessly through the boroughs
as if they had just escaped a shipwreck of blood.
"A Poet in New York" by Federico Garcia Lorca
//The Magnetic Fields: The Luckiest Guy on the Lower East Side

Here is a song for the only one You're still looking for
+ Great Northern - Our Bleeding Hearts
Great Northern @ Antone's, 3/26/08
According to the lead female singer, this was possibly their 12th time performing in Austin. I had to wonder if she was goofing around later on when she mispronounced the venue's name 3 times. The truth is that the crowd didn't seem to be in the mood for their precisely presented layered ( although sometimes the jams were a little too long ) indie pop music. The band worked hard, and Rachel Stolte's vocals are way better live that on the record, but it takes a lot to overcome an incredulous audience with a bad vibe. For those who wanted to appreciate it, their sound made the place seem bigger, darker and moody.

I'm martyr to a motion not my own

Quintessence II by Clara Palmer
I Knew a Woman
Theodore RoethkeI knew a woman, lovely in her bones,
When small birds sighed, she would sigh back at them;
Ah, when she moved, she moved more ways than one:
The shapes a bright container can contain!
Of her choice virtues only gods should speak,
Or English poets who grew up on Greek
(I'd have them sing in chorus, cheek to cheek.)How well her wishes went! She stroked my chin,
She taught me Turn, and Counter-turn, and stand;
She taught me Touch, that undulant white skin:
I nibbled meekly from her proffered hand;
She was the sickle; I, poor I, the rake,
Coming behind her for her pretty sake
(But what prodigious mowing did we make.)Love likes a gander, and adores a goose:
Her full lips pursed, the errant note to seize;
She played it quick, she played it light and loose;
My eyes, they dazzled at her flowing knees;
Her several parts could keep a pure repose,
Or one hip quiver with a mobile nose
(She moved in circles, and those circles moved.)Let seed be grass, and grass turn into hay:
I'm martyr to a motion not my own;
What's freedom for? To know eternity.
I swear she cast a shadow white as stone.
But who would count eternity in days?
These old bones live to learn her wanton ways:
(I measure time by how a body sways.)

Dear John, I'm leaving behind an ipod

That's what she said... by ~Wacia
Dear You,
I'm leaving. Inside your favorite book I have left an Ipod with a mix of songs that remind me of you. All your drama and mystery. Your story-like, or cinematic sense about Love. I based it only on songs, musicians and albums I know you're connected to. Why is it that sometimes you meet someone when it is the
right time for you but not the right time for them? And then it becomes
the wrong time for both of you. You may then have to find reasons to be
disillusioned, piece by piece, in small bites, when you are really
being amazed, every time you see them, by leaps and bounds. I also included a few other playlists, these are my maps of you.
> U2 - Original Of The Species
> The Velvet Underground - Femme Fatale
> The Smashing Pumpkins - 1979
> Leonard Cohen - The Future

Now that you're in with the ladies nothin' that you can't do
[ Rufus Wainwright - In With The Ladies ]
"Who does your heart belong to? " was the firing shot of her inquisition. I had a weakness for her eyes so I told her the truth, as it was then. "It doesn't belong to anyone in particular. It belongs, unwillingly and without notice, to the girl who sings into my voice mail, the girl with the cute wink when she's being cheeky, the devastating beauty who reads Cohen poems, the most disloyal girl I've ever met, and... " She stopped me. "Don't worry, I can hear the emptiness between them." And that's when I knew she had delineated a broken heart out of my little list.

I'm a glum one It's explainable
Spottiswoode And His Enemies/ I'm Lost Again
I'm naked and alone
Dave Gahan/ Kindgom
I have that desperate feeling
Lou Reed/ How Do You Think It Feels
How do you think it feels
When you're speeding and lonely

Nick Cave & Johnny Cash/ I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry
And as I wonder where you are
Tori Amos/ Digital Ghost
Only to find you all alone
Eisley/ Many Funerals
I'm content to lie peacefully
LCD Soundsystem/ New York, I Love You but You're Bringing Me Down
Like a death in the hall
That you hear through your wall
Raidohead/ Nude
You've gone off the rails
Aqualung/ Pressure Suit
Drift out into darkness
Lost out on horizon
Maude Maggart/ Why Was I Born?
What is the good of me by myself?
Anjani Thomas/ Innermost Door
When I am alone, you'll come back to me
Teddy Thompson/ My Hear Echoes
You come back here and fill this loneliness
Spoon/ Black Like Me
What's gonna get me out of this?
Spottiswoode And His Enemies/ You Will Rise Again
You failed to foresee your present misery
but you will rise again
