That boy needs therapy.

Three years. We have waited three long years and finally, Modern Vampires of the City is available everywhere. It’s a great album and the guys worked so hard for it so I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Happy MVOTC release day, ppl!

today was good. i did homework at lunch which I actually really enjoy because I don’t have to talk to anyone and it makes me less stressed. Then after school I came home and my 100 percent zero shirt and my wavves vinyl and my wax witches vinyl had arrived which was super nice. I went to Sam’s and we chilled and listened to wavves then I came home and did more homework and then gabi came over and yeah uneventful day but nice.

pomeray:

Sophie Calle began following strangers because she didn’t know what to do with herself; she had no friends. “It was a way to force myself to get out of the house without having to decide what I was doing.”

January 1980 in Paris, she followed a man for the day and then lost him in the crowd. She later attended an art exhibition to find him there, a coincidence which led her to believe it was fate. She overheard him talking to a friend about a holiday to Venice and decided to go to track him down.

She began to follow him every day, photographing him, writing down his every move together with her thoughts and feelings in a journal. If he stopped to take a photo, she would stand in the exact same spot and try to capture the image he had taken. Her work is more similar to a detective’s than a lover, as she highlights the vulnerability of the stranger while trying to examine his identity.

This project lead her into another: she requested her mother to hire a private investigator to follow her. She took him on a journey through the streets of Paris to her favourite places. She kept a journal of the things she was up to, to compare with the detectives notes for amusement.

She was intrigued with the idea of switching roles and her privacy being invaded, like the many that she had once followed, and the contrast of the scenarios the detective pieced together from following her, to the actual truth.

commovente:

“Just a few days after Nabokov’s death, there was an invasion of butterflies out in Springs, Long Island. It probably happens every year. But the reason I noticed the butterflies this time was the presence—or the absence—of Nabokov.

“While I was riding my bicycle, in fact, I had the pleasure of traveling with one of them: a monarch, one of those orange-and-black butterflies that migrate from Canada down to Mexico. It was right beside me, we were moving at the same speed, and the butterfly was at the same height as my head. The proximity of the butterfly transformed me into an airborne head, a cherub or a seraph, one of Raphael’s angels composed solely of a head and wings.”

—Saul Steinberg, from “Port rait s and Landscapes”

Today was nice but also annoying. I had a conversation and shared a cigarette with a Basquiat-esque man in character and looks. Mostly I just wanted to duct tape everyone’s mouths shut
