Excellent businessmen I
April 2011, İstiklâl Caddesi, IstanbulLadies and gentlemen, critics and hipsters,
have you heard the new disc by the Evelyn Sisters?

Inside the dragon
April 2011We must hang up in the belfry where the bats and moonlight laugh
We must stare into a crystal ball and only see the past
And to the caverns of tomorrow with just our flashlights and our love
We must plunge
~ Bright Eyes, "At the bottom of everything"
Strait
April 2011After all this time, I understand nothing at all about colour. Absolutely nothing. It's impressing. I can only admit defeat and let GIMP handle it.
How does colour work? What does it mean? How should it be? How was it when I took the picture? Does GIMP know what it's doing? Do I, for that matter? No. No, I don't.
Up
April 2011"And suddenly there was this huge mechanical failure and one of the engines gave out. And they started falling, thirty thousand feet... And then they splashed into the deep blue sea. Oh, it was a wonderful splash."
~ Bright Eyes, "At the bottom of everything"
Whoosh
April 2011, Athens International AirportWe must blend into the choir, sing in static with the whole
We must memorize nine numbers and deny we have a soul
And in this endless race for property and privilege to be won
We must run
~ Bright Eyes, "At the bottom of everything"

Last boat along the river Nile
~ Madness, "Last boat to Cairo"
On a desolate shore I
April 2011, MessiniThe oar snaps in his hand before he reaches dry land
But the sound doesn't dampen his smile
Just pokes at wet sand with an oar in his hand
Floats off down the river Nile
~ Madness, "Last boat to Cairo"

And the big fool says to push on

Half in the shadows
Half in the husky moonlight
