Ghetto Bri TON





Yesterday I got the chance to see Fish Tank after class. It's a must see if you enjoy heavy films. Some parts are certainly predictable, but the cinematography, camera movement, and screenplay itself are all magical. Katie Jarvis did a wonderful job playing Mia Williams, a bitter, fatherless, welfare white girl in Essex, England. The movie is her first acting experience and she is quite similar to the role she plays. She got scouted by a casting agent at a railway station while she was arguing with some boyfriend. And last May she had her first child (Katie Jarvis is 18 years old). So I love everything about this film and Cannes did too.

Please mind the Youtube, it does not live up to the actual movie bar none. The best trailor is here.

Here's some stuff from Cannes...

Summer Boner Jams


So I have failed to mention the new Panda Bear/Atlas Sound split released on July 17. Called "Walkabout", it is the song of the summer and all summers to come. Atta' boys!

5 Reasons Why I'm a Failure

With anguish I will count down the top 5 bands I absolutely MUST see before I die from being ran over by a stampede of alpacas. I may include a few that I will never be able to see because they're dead or something.

1) First, I tend to miss out on seeing the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. When I skip town, they feel like visiting the neighborhood. The fuck.

2) Speaking of Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Karen's ex's band Liars is a wet dream for me. Soundgasms for everyone. I'm sure I'd die, but that wouldn't be tragic in anyway. Imagine! They would be so loud and crazy and I'd want to join in the mood! And while I bring up Liars, a similar, yet crazier band simply known as HEALTH would be more than pleasant to see open for them. Thus, I need Liars and HEALTH to arrange a tour together, please.


3) Deerhunter.

4) Tied are two popular rock bands: The White Stripes and Led Zeppelin. Indeed, I get slack for loving those two bands because they are no longer considered unique in this dane age, but that is completely fine with me because I can have them all to myself. May I add that I tend to feel somewhat flattered that Jack White sings a song titled, "Now Mary". Merci Jack.


5) Band I better see or my life will be utterly pointless: RADIOHEAD. They're playing at the Reading Festival and Leeds Festival right before I get to Europe, so I will unfortunately miss them. And enough said.



Probably the top 5 important bands I have seen are:
1) Adolescents
2) The Strokes
3) Boris
4) The Hives
5) Polysics

Du Minuit

Nighttime is my company. As lonely of a time it is, I feel completely fulfilled.

With fear of the unknown comes satisfaction of making a suspenseful journey.


At night you feel lost, but searching for answers makes you far more wise than knowing the answer at hand.

Monsters run wild, and probably these monsters are friends instead of foes. The real monster foes exist in the daytime, but the light creates trust and safety in nearly every individual.


Day, I found a new you. I am lost and bare, but please don't remove me from my one dark love.

When I'm Dead

When I'm dead I want to be a ghost that is visible every full moon. The history I would ever leave behind has no emotional attachment, but I am there to haunt the evil that ruled during life. All the messy memories from life have finally stopped haunting me and diminish. My good memories are passed on to those who deserve to experience themselves. When those good mortals take a photograph, a shining will appear behind them. The shining may cause grave concern, but really it is me guarding these people.

But what will these good memories be? Honestly, I look back at my childhood and admire the times I got to skateboard or go to the beach, but those days were short lived. Another would be petting wild horses in front of my house, but that too had a premature ending. As a ghost, creating memories for people is fairest. Memories are what one makes of them. As a child, my imagination was so happy and eccentric that when I look back on my childhood, my most important memories permeate my brain.

Who would I watch? That is to be determined. Who knows when I will die and who will and will not die before me. I want to watch over the misunderstood, the ones that are laughed at and deemed insane. And for all the rapers, flakes, and selfish manipulators, watch your back.

I'm the twitch under your eye you get when you're stressed. I'm the twitch you have when someone you don't trust taps your shoulder. I'm your nightmares and I'm your dream come true. I'm there when your feelings of lost desolation entrap your soul and you don't believe you even have a soul.

I'm present when you make memories. These memories are the best ones, the worst ones that make you learn something about life, and the ones that you will pass to the youth.


When you pass, I'll be there with open arms. I'll tell you stories of when you were born and what your parents were like as kids. I'll teach you to see the world in a different light.
