SESSION 25: At Home With Rose


Honey gets stuck in my ears

>> DOWNLOAD HERE <<

I've just had a week off work so I could get along to as many films as possible at the Film Festival. I haven't tallied up the amount of films I got along to in the past two weeks but I think it's getting up towards 40. It put me in a really great mood. Brain food I guess. I sure as fuck didn't want to go back to work today, so I've cheered myself up with some tunes I really like. There's a wee bit of poppy sweetness going on at the beginning, but the honey is interspersed with a bit of gorse here and there for good measure. Prickles in the honey. But mostly honey I reckon.

I'm going through a massive Alastair Galbraith phase at the moment. Can't get enough. I love his faltering New Zealand voice and his lyrics make me smile.

In other news, I have a piece in the annual group show, Vent, at Thermostat Gallery in Palmerston North. I'm going up there this weekend to see the show and take some pics so I'll stick a pic up on the blog next week. I couldn't make it for the opening, unfortunately.

Back to the film fest - the two best films I saw were Lars von Trier's Antichrist (which I only saw last night and so am still mentally digesting) and Dogtooth. Up there as well were We Live in Public, Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles, Bluebeard, and Enjoy Poverty.
