tonight im all alone in my room,
i’ll go in insane,
if you won’t sleep with me i’ll still be with you,
i’m gonna meet you on the astral plane,

I have someone in mind as I listen to this, but it‘ll never happen. My unrequited love. So I will just feel feelings through music. You would think in your 40s you will be done with these feelings, but it is pervasive for some of us.
Allo darlin’ - dreaming
will you go out with me tonight
lose it on a disco floor
take the night bus with me tonight
frost on the window
it's freezing out here on the pavement
but here in your arms
it's heaven
i can wait for you now
but not forever
i have tried everything i know
to make you understand
this is not a game for broken hearts
played by a lonely band
we've both got so much to lose
but here in your arms
it's heaven
i can wait for you now
but not forever
i was surprised by how happy i was
don't ask why it's just because
down by the harbour in the dawn
it's not a star it's a satellite
the thought of it keeps me from sleeping
or am i already dreaming?

"I want to be your vacuum cleaner, breathing in your dust /
I wanna be your Ford Cortina, I will never rust"
John Cooper Clarke made one of the most romantic songs I've ever heard during this month. Devoting rituals to a person, rubbing lotion into their skin, thinking of them in deep oceans... Our desires are strengthened by pressure, like a muscle. I think JCC exercised that. Being on someone's mind is the greatest form of intimacy between two lovers, true intimacy in wanting to be the chair they sit on, the pillow they sleep on, the dirty engine running their car-- a miasma of devotion. Throughout abstract lyrics, you can make out the faces of our lovers-- a secretive expression of joy on their faces, the posturing of their arms raised high, a divinely muted memory. God, I want to want as much as he does on this song. It's all about want, want, want.
You call the shots. I wanna be yours xx

I always find myself coming back to this song, I truly never get tired of it. This has been added to pretty much every cassette or playlist I’ve ever made.

was so so sad last night and found myself at the movies. started sobbing the moment i sat in the chair for reasons entirely unrelated to the film (although it was very sad). kind of relished in it though bc the cinema unlike buses/trains/cafes is like the only public space where you wont be scorned for crying. its the only acceptable place outside of the comfort of your home for you to sit down and have a good wail because everyone will think ur crying about the movie and no one will judge u.

a punk rock road movie by gregg araki about a couple that pick up a drifter. weirdness and chaos ensue. impeccable soundtrack and the costuming was waaaay ahead of its time. its like challengers on crack. one of my favourite flicks and was my teenage gateway into cool girl underground films. be warned though it gets pretty violent at times!
