SAFEWORDS
safewords and / goodbyes/ feel / cold like ice cream to me / warm like lullabies
strangers with / wide eyes / feel / light like powder to me / dark like autumn nights
half grins with / deep sighs / feel / lost like summer on me / found like cut white lies
some girls fail to realise, theres no more life left in my eyes / no light / shines around here.
a new version of an old song off Heres Your...
Todays Free Album:
Think : Finally on your own. 19 clumsy and shy. Discovering what all those symbols on prescription medication mean. frequent callers, at all hours.
women, gentlemen.
not knowing where you’re going,
but disgusted by where you came from.
crushed pills
white night thrills.
for fans of : mostly instrumental, down tempo, drum machines, recording on a broken pc, digital delay,...
Free Album of the Day.
Think : The first couple ‘see your own breath’ nights.
Walking home alone after the barlights come on.
Autumnal kisses. Almost winter ‘misses’.
A stark, young voice trying to find itself, soaked in reverb and reflection.
For fans of : Late Scott Walker, The Smiths self titled album (troy tate version), mogwai, post roxy-pre-ambient Eno.
Recorded in late 2008....
Free Album of the Day.
Think, pupils the size of tea saucers, waking up with a bloody nose, strangers kitchens and stranger late night missions.
Abusing medication, running from yourself straight into the arms of prescription pills. Solidarity in cigarette burn mark arms.
Brotherhood.
For fans of spiritualized, wire, primal scream, drugs, lifeless hugs.
Blank stares on a busy train to work.
Recorded in early 2010....
Haphazardly watching a whole building turn off it’s lights.
It’s humiliating because it reminds me of my life.
You see it coming.
Floor One, off, floor two, off, three through 12, 14 and upwards.
All within a moment or two. You watch from a balcony, an out of body experience.
See it happen. But you’re too far to shout, and those concrete ears are deaf, it won’t make a...

basement apartment
laundromat again.
filth washing off. late nights, in bed-by-eight nights.
lazying around in briefs while watching smut, dead-dry skin chain smoking days.
they all wash away with that sweet lemon scented detergent.
thinking nothing much,
but about that permanent basement apartment in the ground that looms over my head.
the one with eternal rest, and peace, and silence.
how comfy that dirt...
A bad haircut, and a door for a mouth that won’t stay shut. I do my laundry here once a week. The liquid detergent cleans the filth and the desperation of recent events off my “uniform of a miserabilist”. I wear it loud every day. it costs two fifty a load, then a quarter every five minutes I dry away the soap that refuses to rinse. The east wall is covered in mirrors, as if to...
flower couple
couples with flowers
sitting for hours (four hours)
all i ever wanted out of life
was to be a happy, with little worry, one half-of-a
couple with flowers
sitting for hours (four hours)
and yet i remain
a singular, come stain
on your life.
a boy just trying to both walk,
and write.
starring at asses
as they passes
on the subway train.
dont look now
im broken
yet you stay,
shell,...

thenoisefilter:
Canada. Think bagged milk, poutine, Baby Giraffe. These are the things that they won’t share with us. Luckily for us, the magic of the internet allows us to download music for free. Would I download a bag of milk? Maybe. Would I download poutine? Oh fuck yes. Have I downloaded Baby Giraffe’s…
Remembering the first time I made myself come
To beach volleyball of all things
Such a mess
Such a silly thing
As if my future, now current self has any interest in those
Hard body types
Banana peel legs
Perfectly ripe
Stomaches flat and glossy enough
You could do lines off em
I haven’t watched that shit since
It changed me into a mess
THE mess
of a man or boy or guy of whatever it be I...
