The Pierces - Turn On Billie



I thought I should link to the song from which I pulled the fabulous quote: "We'll paint the town blue 'cause baby, red is so passé." The Pierces are a New York band who pretty much just jumped from 1920s Burlesque into 2010, taking with them spotlights, xylophones and words like "passé". Don't you love them? Makes me think of seedy Manhattan bars and black silk things like garters. Anyway, I figured that this pretty much sums up my life. Not the seedy bars, thankfully, but the fairly irrelevant thoughts that come from this kind of picture: life is for living and paint is for painting; colours are great and trends are overrated and those who take life too seriously should sit in the corner and not whine to the rest of us. But let's leave life philosophies to later. After all, this is a blog - a stupid thing that floats around in the internet and sometimes finds its way into people's heads for no good reason. Half diary, half show-n'-tell, I guess.
