you who have wandered this world and sampled its wheres i speak only silently you may not hear me over the pounding of the sea in its vessels the hawkers and sideshows the taverns by the shore full of drinkers beautiful women……? ah just behind the door…..yes…. i implore you to take a moment… the sun has dazzled your eyes these balmy climes intoxicate us it is easy to forget and drift away in some garden on a hill in some cenotaph in a lonely park in some bed in a white room the sun found sleeping in some ...

i wake one day and bondi is deserted the people have all gone home a hammock swings empty in the greenery the ferns and cactuses the colourful pots and vases the paved courtyards are silent oh the gentle rain enriching soothing calming the pool is warm i plunge into the salty brew the bottom of the pool is lined with seaweed and waves crash over the side slapping me about today a rare energy fills me i kick through the dim warm green water the waves come down and i escape  by diving under the blessed quiet underwater the healing ...

Feist just released a video for “How Come You Never Go There,” the first single off her new album Metals. From the off, the first thing the viewer is bound to notice is her hair. She’s confined by a wild, witchy, ankle-length mass of it while standing in bed of ferns in an otherwise dense, imposing forest. Dramatic [...]

Not really. That's totally a wig. But in the clip for "How Come You Never Go There," an ambling high point from Ms. Leslie Feist's most recent long-player, Metals , the Canadian songstress lets her lengthy black mane luxuriate in a swirl of wind, moss and ferns. See Also: • In Bed With Feist

For evidence of the avidity of Scandinavian music enthusiasts and aficionados in London, endeavour to get down to the gloriously Nordic affair that is Ja Ja Ja . A short and smooth glide down Pentonville Road however is the Scala where on an aptly icy eve a queue splurges out from the door come six.
