one of my earliest memories is doing that thing where you bump into someone on a street, and you're both trying to get past, but you keep dodgeing the same way to get round the other person. but it wasn't on the street, it was at the very end of a grassy dirt path in the countryside, which was just about to open up onto a big field. he was a lot taller than me, and i only ever saw his midrift, stepping where i was stepping. he was getting stuck after having all this room, and i was getting stuck just before having too much room. i also remember the birds screaming in the skies, and that i needed to go to the toilet.
that last sentence isn't all true.
mediator mixtape #4 - crooked polar night
tracklist:
1. mugison - salt
2. sufjan stevens - alanson, crooked river
3. growing - primitive associations/great mass above
4. black moth super rainbow - hazy field people
5. colleen - i'll read you a story
6. joanna newsom - only skin
7. belong - i never lose. really really
8. labradford - midrange
9. tindersticks - miles davis' funeral
10. august born - more dead bird blues
i made a cd of this, but the newsom track was replaced by the decemberists' the tain. i felt a bit guilty about putting that whole thing up here, though. so, change that if you want, but only skin is an amazing, amazing track from one of my albums of the year.
like little monuments. gets a bit like an addiction.
