Been a While

Getting back! Into it! Been thinking about so many posts for so many months, breaking the long LG silence with a stellar video/song match-up for (yes) s-p-r-ing.

Laying down picture after picture to the rhythm of a heartbeat-sounding muted kick drum reminds me of sifting through NAH's old photo box, with the sound of tossing curled, small-sized old photos, new polaroids, and white-edged mattes amplified in quick succession as a soundtrack. Running idly though, commenting a little on each, pausing longer at different ones, creating a piecemeal film over and over just like this dirty, spring-feeling & afternoon repeat song.

In the same vein, try playing this song (sound up) while watching (sound down): (1) Muybridge's "First Film," (2) "Andrew and Marlene's First Vacation to Nova Scotia," or (3) "Summer vacation in Turkey with my playmate - pussy Olusya!"

*Playing a song to other people's vacation slideshows is a great experiment for any song when you're looking to test its cinematic qualities. Good YouTube keywords include: "our vacation," vacation slideshow in love," and "summer pictures sun fun".
