In elevating the economy above the environment, we forget that the very word ‘economy’ comes from the very word for life and for our home - eco

There is no away.

Liar - Door Next Girl

I’m absolutely head over heels for Origami Sound and all of their collections are must-check-outs. Here are a few words from them regarding this and other tracks for 2012:

Freely available singles will be put out throughout this year as part of the “Spotlight” series, a means to showcase all the artists involved with Origami Sound for the long run.

Liar is one of Origami Sound’s main men of music so it should come as no surprise that he has a lot of material stacked up for various releases this year.

Bondax - You’re So

TIL

Sometimes, when a girl is having a bad day, she wants someone to come along knowing just the right thing to say and to come out and say it. (Don’t play, I know you’ve been there too)

But, it’s almost because of how bad she needs this kind of telepathic or psychic interpretation of words, that she must, in fact, find the courage to ask for them.

In its own bizarre way, the closeness that awaits on the other end of the dialog that demonstrates to her that it’s ok and even good to be able to ask for such things of another human being, to feel in her heart that we should ask and express our wants, needs and desires with someone we trust since they are, afterall, a person that we trust, all of this can make a bad day seem so small and suddenly far behind. She’ll know just what to ask of just the right person when the next day rolls itself around and it’ll be that much less, long and ‘bad’ of a day. 

Because otherwise:
“Where is this love? I can’t see it, I can’t touch it. I can’t feel it. I can hear it. I can hear some words, but I can’t do anything with your easy words”
― Patrick Marber, Closer

Peaches and cream, people, the glass is half full.

Daft Punk - Something About Us (Cherokee Remix)

A bird doesn’t sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song.

Those who dwell among the beauties and mysteries of the earth are never alone or weary of life.
