spanish sahara.

to be honest, this clip is a bit slow for my liking.

but the song, has been calling me back to listen
again &again over the last month.

its chill & a nice voice.
the foals will be here for splendour & a sideshow.
check this & check them:


[hear]

1,2, Whoop Whoop.





so...
the bloody beetroots.
sounds like an 80s prom band.
but this could not be further from the truth.
hard electro, big beats
& masked producers of one of the greatest songs of 09 - Warp.
saw them last night. with only 500 people.
small but very very intense.
sweat from head to toe.
loving life!!!
(iphone quality pics - my bad)

Check this for proof:


[hear]

Castles in the sky.

the new Taylor Steele movie - YESSSS!
this is the follow up to Sipping Jetsreams,
titled "Castles In The Sky".
its less about waves & cutbacks,
&more about the cultures & people that surfers encounter.
hence why i love it. we live in a beautiful world,
& these movies capture it so well.
Out in June!

a delicate world

a few weeks ago "Eyjafjallajokull",

would have registered as a grammatical error.
today,
the unpronounceable word has far greater meaning,
particularly in europe.
the aptly named volcano in Iceland,
that looks reminiscent of an independence day scene,
proved yet again how frail & failing our world is.


For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now. And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience. Romans 8:18-25

Yan Arthus Bertrand is an incredible photographer.
