Sigur Rós’ seventh full-length starts with amiasma of thunderous crashes. A year later and one member fewer than the paper-thin whisper that was previous album Valtari, it’s almost as if the Icelandic trio is making up for lost time with sheer volume. (Either that or frontman Jónsi Birgisson’s metalhead roots are finally starting to show.) (via Sigur Rós: Kveikur (XL) | Under The Radar)
this album is fucking rad, by the way.
Looking at you, Guzman.
people know me.
I’m Not a Man
I’m not a man. I can’t earn a living, buy new things for my
family. I have acne and a small peter
I’m not a man. I don’t like football, boxing and cars.
I like to express my feelings. I even like to put an arm
around my friend’s shoulder.
I’m not a man. I won’t play the role assigned to me—the role
created by Madison Avenue, Playboy, Hollywood and Oliver Cromwell.
Television does not dictate my behavior. I am under 5 foot 4.
I’m not a man. Once when I shot a squirrel I swore that I would
never kill again. I gave up meat. The sight of blood makes me
sick. I like flowers.
I’m not a man. I went to prison resisting the draft. I do not
fight back when real men beat me up and call me queer. I dislike
violence.
I’m not a man. I have never raped a woman. I don’t hate blacks.
I do not get emotional when the flag is waved. I do not think
I should love America or leave it. I think I should laugh at it.
I’m not a man. I have never had the clap.
I’m not a man. Playboy is not my favorite magazine.
I’m not a man. I cry when I’m unhappy.
I’m not a man. I do not feel superior to women.
I’m not a man. I don’t wear a jockstrap.
I’m not a man. I write poetry.
I’m not a man. I meditate on peace and love.
I’m not a man. I don’t want to destroy you.
—Harold Norse, San Francisco 1972

Lady Lamb The Beekeeper - “Up In The Rafters”
“I want to love you like the monster loves a flowerDisarming as a bird flying backwards
And my heart is a pomegranate
And how long have I ached for your hands on my stomach?
I want to love you like the monster loves the flower
Tenderly
I want to know you like the clock knows the hour
I want to see you with both my eyes forward
In the fields of rye and up in the rafters
Hungrily
And oh to know the nape of your neck;
It would be the length of my whole self
To swoon if for to stretch beneath a fleshy ground
Peacefully
Into a blood red sea
In the wax of a whale
Meet me down there, deep down
Where I am dark and pale
This longing I inherit, how it makes me shameful
This armor how I wear it till I can no longer
And all the while in your blue so sallow
As bitter as the snake that craftily crallows
On the cracked tongue of the quake in the shadows
Silently
I am a ribcage, I’m a sailor, I’m an arrow
I am a monster with the wings of a blind sparrow
And I want to touch you like the seed touches the soil
I want to hold you like the milk holds the spoil
Sing to me
Cling to me
And what of this cacophonous – these broken strings?
And what of this, the blood red kiss, the beast in the sea?
I’ll hush it now and I will sing it songs to put it to sleep
And leave it there without a care that it might know a dream.”
intennnnse.
diggin it.
