This is a very important milestone in my life reaching 2000 page views.

I would like to thank first and foremost ...
... myself ...
for the countless nights of refreshing on my profile to increase the page views ...

I also would like to thank all the employers of the people who watch me on dA, paying them to view my profile during work hours 10x

Can't forget all the people along the way who left a mark on me which inspired me in my creations ... after all a happy artist is an unproductive artist.


Drey.

been wanting to do this for a while...

that's to take a few moments once a week and post a few links to what I'm currently hearing, after all it's whats passing though my head while I'm taking a photo whilst atempting not to shake the camera too much

so hear it goes ...

#1 Ladytron - Destroy Everything You Touch [link]
- Ladytron recently released a new album named Velocifero, it contains some amazing tracks like Ghost [link] and Runaway so definitely a must hear. If you liked... another album from their past is also available called 604.

#2 Sons And Daughters - Dance Me In [link]
- another female vox ( arguable i might have a soft spot for female lead bands ) for the list this time from the band Sons and Daughters; an extremely catchy track.

#3 Devotchka - How it ends [link] [slideshow]
discovered from a mention from a friend but ultimately being forced to explore the extensive musical collection after hearing the sound track from Little Miss Sunshine which was mostly embarked with the soulful lyrics from Devotchka.


hearing a particular compelling band? leave a comment with the name and a recommended album or song. thanks


regs,

… a world filled with true passion and gruesome realities, ecstasy and despair walk hand in hand …

… undulating consumed souls with true genuine chemistry… perfection…

… two, though they seemed as one whole…

… like two butterflies flying so closely together in a graveyard lit by the moon…

… enough said.

Nick Cave - Brother, My Cup Is Empty [link]

Brother, my cup is empty
And I haven't got a penny
For to buy no more whiskey
I have to go home

I am the captain of my pain
Tis the bit, the bridle,
The trashing cane
The stirrup, the harness
The whipping mane
The pickled eye
The shrinking brain
O brother, buy me one more drink
I'll explain the nature of my pain
Yes, let me tell you once again
I am the captain of my pain

O brother, my cup is empty
And I haven't got a penny
For to buy no more whiskey
I have to go home

I cannot blame it all on her
To blame her all would be a lie
For many a night I lay awake
And wished that I could watch her die
To see her accusing finger spurt
To see flies swarm her hateful eye
To watch her groaning in the dirt
To see her clicking tongue crack dry
O brother, buy me one more drink
One more drink and then goodbye
And do not mock me when I say
Let's drink one more before I die

O brother, my cup is empty
And I haven't got a penny
For to buy no more whiskey
I have to go home

Well I've been sliding down on rainbows
Well I've been swinging from the stars
Now this wretch in beggars clothing
Bangs his cup across the bars
Look, this cup of mine is empty!
Seems I've misplaced my desires
Seems I'm sweeping up the ashes
Of all my former fires
So brother, be a brother
And fill this tiny cup of mine
And please, sir, make it whiskey
For I have no head for wine

O brother, my cup is empty
And I haven't got a penny
For to buy no more whiskey
I have to go home

I counted up my blessings
And counted only one
One tiny little blessing
And now that blessings gone
So buy me one more drink, my brother
Then I'm taking to the road
Yes, I'm taking to the rain
I'm taking to the snow
O my friend, my only brother
Do not let the party grieve
So throw a dollar onto the bar
Now kiss my ass and leave

O brother, my cup is empty
And I haven't got a penny
For to buy no more whiskey
I have to go home

unusual journal entry, but I couldn't have put it in better words myself.

I’m thinking of writing a little something about a modern day little red riding hood,
what do you think would she be all about?
