Hey y'all, what's up?
 

Hello back SYG! What's up?
I've been on a three-days vacation in Paris for the weekend, it was cool. I visited various places on Saturday, including Gibert Joseph (a record store...) where I bought Autechre's Confield. It turned out Cercueil (a band from Lille) played at Le Nouveau Casino on Saturday night, so I went - it's a bit crazy that I first see a band from my town in Paris. They cancelled two shows in Lille where I should have been this year; I had already seen them with another project, though. Anyway, they rocked, I was really impressed. Also playing were:
- Portradium: an electronica artist. His concept was original (on stage, there was not only a laptop, but cymbals), but it was a bit boring at times ; sometimes it was like he wasn't doing anything but playing cymbals while the laptop provided an instrumentation (I mean, he wasn't doing anything on the laptop at those times yet the programmation was building by itself, etc). Still there were some really good moments, and powerfull basses.
- pOOr bOy: an indie rock band with no drums and electronic rhythmics provided by the laptop. It was really good, though their laptop crashed during the second track, so they had to restart it (the computer) while they played an acoustic song (which wasn't planned...).
- The Nightcrawler: I thought it would be dull but it was good. One dude playing skeleton blues rock with electronic drums. He was funny, and his tracks were good.
I enjoyed myself.
On Sunday I visited the Musée d'Orsay, where I saw many great paintings (obviously...). Here are a few of my favorite ones:


Claude Monet - Lilas; Temps Gris

Alfred Sisley - Le Repos Au Bord D'Un Ruisseau

Camille Pissaro - Le brouillard; Voisins

James Whistler - Varations En Violet et Vert

I just came back home, and there was Campfire Songs by Animal Collective, which I won on a contest ran by a really kind Collected Animals user. I feel great!

So what about you all?

Some more great paintings:


Claude Monet - Londres, Le Parlement; Trouée de Soleil Dans Le Brouillard


Vincent Van Gogh - La Nuit Etoilée


Camille Pissaro - Bords de L'Oise Près de Pontoise; Temps Gris


Gustave Guillaumet - Le Sahara

thank gawd yr back. thefoxben has been inconsolable during yr absence.

Ahah! I sent him two SMS while I was there though (and I paid the extra France-Belgium price for it) :D

I really like that second painting. Good stuff.

WTF, dude I didn't know you sent me two SMS, I'm checking them.

they're hard to see through all the tears. :(

I AM SO MAD AT YOU NOW :mad::mad: YOU SHAMELESS LITTLE PRISSY FUCKING VILLAIN I HATE YOU SO MUCH
I WAS IN THE LAND OF MAHBOOL :mad: AND YOU DIDNT EVEN KNOW IT
:mad:

Man, I'm very sorry, don't be mad at me you're my friend :( Look at this and maybe you won't be angry anymore:

fucking cool pics and a great trip to take! Hope you had a fabulous time.....

welcome back. ur trip sounds fun.



so wait, are foxben and syrfox an e-couple? what did i miss?

Wait, we're an e-couple ? Nah, I just think FloSlo thinks we're gay to fulfill his perverse cybersex desires.

hey, hey, it's ok.

it's not the way it works. the 48 pixels come from the nutritive psychic elements that are contained inside the mushroom

Also, that trip was for sure fantastic! It killed all the stress I had about this next school year (which begins next Monday), and the possible expulsion of my family from our flat.

Also, I would never be in an e-couple with a guy that's got such a terrible music tastes passé (and present!). I won't say anything more

I agree, except for the music tastes part... WHY ARE YOU SAYING THAT ? YOU LIKED MY TOP 100 SONGS OF THE DECADE, YOU LIKED IT ! :(

Let me rephrase it

Meet the crab at the cheese section of your nearest supermarket. He shall give you an engraving which will be an indication on the next steps to follow in order to reach further states of consciousness
