I was making an England joke! ("Suffer Little Children") Over the moor, take me to the moor Dig a shallow grave And I'll lay me down
Over the moor, take me to the moor Dig a shallow grave And I'll lay me down
Lesley-Anne, with your pretty white beads Oh John, you'll never be a man And you'll never see your home again Oh Manchester, so much to answer for
Edward, see those alluring lights ? Tonight will be your very last night
A woman said : "I know my son is dead I'll never rest my hands on his sacred head"
Hindley wakes and Hindley says : Hindley wakes, Hindley wakes, Hindley wakes, and says : "Oh, wherever he has gone, I have gone"
But fresh lilaced moorland fields Cannot hide the stolid stench of death Fresh lilaced moorland fields Cannot hide the stolid stench of death
Hindley wakes and says : Hindley wakes, Hindley wakes, Hindley wakes, and says : "Oh, whatever he has done, I have done"
But this is no easy ride For a child cries :
"Oh, find me ... find me, nothing more We are on a sullen misty moor We may be dead and we may be gone But we will be, we will be, we will be, right by your side Until the day you die This is no easy ride We will haunt you when you laugh Yes, you could say we're a team You might sleep You might sleep You might sleep BUT YOU WILL NEVER DREAM ! Oh, you might sleep BUT YOU WILL NEVER DREAM ! You might sleep BUT YOU WILL NEVER DREAM !"
Oh Manchester, so much to answer for Oh Manchester, so much to answer for
Oh, find me, find me ! Find me ! I'll haunt you when you laugh Oh, I'll haunt you when you laugh You might sleep BUT YOU WILL NEVER DREAM ! Oh ... Over the moors, I'm on the moor Oh, over the moor Oh, the child is on the moor

Inspired by the macabre mystery surrounding JonBenet Ramsey and the notorious English murderess Myra Hindley, Patrik Rzepski applies bruising and burial treatments to his spring 04 collection, mimicking the unsightly appearance of unearthed victims. The neo-gothic sensibility of the 20-year-old designer—who's been likened to a still wet-behind-the-ears Alexander McQueen—is a refreshing trip to dark side, far from the cloyingly rose-colored view of other young upstarts. A noble attempt to restore lost innocence? "Yes," he says, "but in the end they still end up six feet under." no one else thinks this is gross?
― La Lechera, Tuesday, 18 September 2007 20:27 (sixteen years ago) link

Around the same time that young Shelagh Delaney wrote her first play, Francoise Sagan wrote Bonjour Tristesse.

There's a thread on ILM about finding record covers with a photograph of the musician, which is too easy and common a game than literature with the author on the cover, such as Shelagh D.

Amanda, where was that from?
I think its own banality works against it as a fashion "statement" -- death and decay aren't shocking, they aren't about lost innocence anymore than the National Enquirer is, and showing "bruised" models bothers me in so many ways I can't even start. But at the same time...who cares? Not I, said the cat.

I dunno. I guess I don't care either, except for the bruising-as-beauty thing really sent me into fits of revulsion. That's just not cool.

he can breathe their air just fine, but he cannot get used to the smell of the space apes. Really rank stuff.

toby got really obsessed with good tea last year, we brought over like 2 grocery bags of tea when we moved. and he's listening to the twenty 20 cricket online every day at the moment.
just to reinforce stereotypes, you know.
― colette, Tuesday, 18 September 2007 20:52 (sixteen years ago) link
I had to google twenty20 cricket. It's a game. I thought it was maybe a band, like matchbox 20, only there's twice as many matchboxes, and inside each one is a cricket. My mind works in discursive ways.
― kenan, Tuesday, 18 September 2007 21:03 (sixteen years ago) link
it's like supershort cricket, i think. like instead of playing for 3 or 5 days, they play for several hours. it's apparently more exciting, and more like baseball... i still don't really understand cricket, though!

I find fetishizing dead, beaten, and murdered women's bodies and portraying them as sexy to be way not okay and beyond disturbing. I care because every few years some dipshit photographer or fashion designer (or TV show, I am looking at you America's Next Top Model) decides that depicting murdered women would be super edgy! And hip! And then we have to have this fucking conversation about how glamorizing violence against women is unacceptable all fucking over again.
It makes me tired, all this having to repeat myself over and over again.

Do any of you know of a song called "To Be Gone" that my very unhip middle-aged boss would be familiar with? He refuses to provide the name of a singer or songwriter. I found a song by some Swedish woman but I can't imagine that he's up on Swedish singer/songwriters.

I don't think anyone thinks it's ok, just that that thing in particular is so patently-stupid-edging-over-into-parody-and-beyond that I can't even give it the time of day. If I saw that on AMTM I'd balk, because people watch that show, but I shrug I guess because I saw it on the internet, and the clothes are ugly and nobody's ever going to buy or wear them and Laurel is OTM it's TOTALLY up it's own ass.
