Beautiful misery

Journal Entry: Mon May 12, 2008, 2:33 PM


Ah... it's been a looooong wait, but finally, my favorite lo-fi band has released a new album.

Third by Portishead is gorgeous. It's got a bit more edge than their previous two albums, but it's still golden.

Forget emo; Portishead is what I personally like to refer to as super-goth. Not in the music classification sense (I never understood those classifications). But in its pure intent, it's like listening to despair herself singing.

Rich, black, silky smooth, thick oozes of depression gently washing over your soul and drowning it in sweet sorrow.

Lol. Ok, so I am not a depressed person and I was never a goth. But I likes me sad music and Portishead is my special treat whenever I feel like an unhealthy dose of melancholy.

Now, if I could just get a hold of Boa (the UK one not the Korean band) and some actual Swedish Kent albums...

After I seen your Talwyn Apogee
picture awhile back and faved it, I thought i would comeback to your gallery a few months later to see what else you have.

Presonally I fell in love with the rest of your stuff. To the sexy Abstract pin-ups, to the weird stuff, to your children book style, Everything about it made me inspired and happy. Also a nice change from all the anime artist that flow here.

Congrads, you get a new watcher

ever wonder about PERFECTION?
if there is a perfect man,
women would love God less...
because they would love the man more...

Damn you (in a good way...if that's even possible =P)!!!!!

Very cool gallery, and so cool you got the Udon trophy =P

Instant watch for you!
