take out your knife

.. was the name of a song from a guy i saw yesterday in the bodega social club. duncan oakley.

he was the support from a guy called huw costin. both artists were just a man and a guitar with songs about love and other stuff that was very thought-provoking. i liked duncan pretty much. he has a very beautifuly voice and is able to sing the high notes in a very clear and soft way. i found out that he is actually doing comdey music. which is kind of shocking cause the music yesterday was defenitely not comdey and it's hard to imagine that this guy is doin this.
the main act, huw costin, did actually the same: singing with his guitar thoughtfully contents. but the whole appearence didn't convinced me so much. on the website of the social club they say:
"[...] something truly special that will just break your heart!!!". no. defenitely not.

anyway. huw says that amongst others he is inspired by jeff buckley. that brings me to my actual reason for this post:
jeffy the jeff. the lovely jeff. on cd. in my room. 2 times. wohooo!
i went into this nice cd shop on mansfield road. the bag says: good vibrations - second hand records. i bought everything i could find from jeff buckley. just two cds. but still.
first: mystery white boy: live '95~'96
second: sketches for my sweetheart the drunk
the first one is a double cd with 21 songs. the second one has 12. i know pretty much all songs from the second one. but. now i can hold it in my hand. touch it. browse through the booklets. with pictures. lyrics. handwriting stuff. awesome!

my other acquisitions are:
- hot hot hot with make up the breakdown
- richard ashcroft - alone with everybody (btw: the website has a very nice intro. bookmark.)
- blur - modern life is rubbish. the original website is very nice too. minimalistic.
so is this all? one, two, thr.. five. yes.

but this is not all. no no.
what is thin, old, black, round, has lots of rills and smells like the old attic with grandmas stuff from the 60ies?
yes!
records.

- pete townshend with empty glass
on the sleeve cover is a quote printed from meher baba saying "desire for nothing except desirelessness, hope for nothing except to rise above all hopes, want nothing and you will have everything". the lyrics of all songs are printed on the back. so it will be very easy for this guy whos christmas parents those records are to sing along.
-the who - the story of the who
- dire straits
i don't know much about the dire straits. but i know this great song. and it's on this record.




hellelujah!
