tick tock

hook. one of my favourite movies EVS. dustin, fairies, robin, maggie, exploding paint balls, marbles, lost boys. it's all just bangarang to me. ticks and tocks and clocks and crocs (reptilian-like creatures, not clunky plastic footwear) feature heavily in this dreamboat of a film.

also i decided to fall in true love with we are scientist's 'after hours' this week.

what do you get when you mix these two seemingly unrelated things together in a dazzle sized mixing bowl? a temporal themed mixtape, that's what. it's freshly baked, enjoy little buddies x

after hours - we are scientists

the catalyst that started me on my musical musings this week. the subtitles and cardigans featured in this film clip are magnificent. it's definitely true love.

too much time - john vanderslice

i love this song, but can't say i necessarily agree with johnny v at the moment. i've had to start doing my washing at 1am in the morn in order to have a semblance of clean clothes.

mowgli's rd - marina and the diamonds

ha, this one is a bit sneaky. marina gets to feature in this week's mixtape purely for her 'cuckoo' abilities, which i heard around the traps were a crazy one-off muck around anyway.

this years love - david gray

oh, time for a heartbreaker i see. except if you listen to the words, it's actually quite hopeful and optimistic. oh love, so intrinsically linked with time. and cholera, if you're gabriel garcía márquez.

lost in time - whitley

did you know whitley is hanging up his guitar strings for good soon? this is sad news. i sure hope we get to see lawrence in another band incarnation in the future.

spending my time - roxette

while i'm a big fan of roxette, i'm not such a fan of spending my time staring at walls. i prefer to daydream while i'm driving, which is both cathartic and risky.

sentimental heart - she & him

vom, it's the whole time, love, link thing again isn't it? but truly, how can you not like how darn cute this song is, in it's hark back to yesteryear. get me a pastel shift dress and some frosted pink lipstick already.

once in a lifetime - talking heads

i don't know what a shotgun shack is, but i sure could use a spell living in one. does it have a fireplace and a balcony and a pot-bellied stove i wonder?

night time - the xx

i used to be an insomniac, yes i did. but now i sleep like the log lady's favourite possession. my friend zoe gave me a sleeping pill to "practice" with for an upcoming euro flight. but i've so far been too tired to open the millions of layers of cling wrap she wrapped it in. hmmm, is it really a restavit zoe?

time means nothing at all - lisa mitchell

it means nothing, it means everything, it hurts, it heals, there's too much, there's not enough. tick tock. tick tock. cuckoo. til next TIME pals! x
