“The longer I live, the more deeply I learn that love--whether we call it friendship or family or romance--is the work of mirroring each other's light. Gentle work. Steadfast work. Life-saving work in those moments when shame and sorrow occlude our own light from view, but there is still a clear-eyed loving person to beam it back. In our best moments, we are that person for another.” ~ James Baldwin, Nothing Personal

“there are, on this planet alone, something like two million naturally occurring sweet things, some with names so gorgeous as to kick the steel from my knees: agave, persimmon, stick ball, the purple okra I bought for two bucks at the market. Think of that. The long night, the skeleton in the mirror, the man behind me on the bus taking notes, yeah, yeah. But look; my niece is running through a field calling my name. My neighbor sings like an angel and at the end of my block is a basketball court. I remember. My color’s green. I’m spring.”

— Ross Gay, excerpt of “Sorrow Is Not My Name”, in Bringing the Shovel Down

it actually takes all of my willpower to not respond to every criticism of in the aeroplane over the sea on the internet. some of the takes i see are genuinely just built on misconceptions or a lack of any effort to seriously think about the text of the album without just going to genius or whatever. i’m gonna need to create a document where i write what i WOULD say to these people if i wasn’t trying to be less of an annoying hater

I know elephant 6 on tumblr is kinda dead but i wanted to talk about this, major organ and the adding machine is a really cool album that also has a really cool short film however even cooler is the bonus features of the short films dvd.

in this collection is a lot of interesting elephant 6 live videos and archival footage including apples in stereo cutting their first vinyl pressing, some cool live nmh, dixie blood moustaches short film oh hi, and major organ doing what a wonderful world live (i didnt even know they played live until i saw the dvd)

ive found only a couple of these features online that i will link here as well as the short film but i do recommend if you are able to get the album and dvd on bandcamp (like i did) or directly from orange twin and if you havent scoured the orange twin site i recommend it has a bunch of E6 stuff people dont talk about like jeffs field recordings

LINKS IVE FOUND FOR E6 AT THE MOVIES

Major Organ and the Adding Machine film

Circulatory System "Should a Cloud Replace a Compass?"

A Hawk and A Hacksaw Live 2002 snippet (discogs listed this as 2004 i havent checked this one up with the dvd)

Dixie Blood Moustache "Oh, Hi! movie"

Music Tapes "For the Planet Pluto" (this one was officially uploaded to youtube :P)

NMH "Songs Against Sex" & "Ghost" live at the knitting factory (julians bass looks so cool in these)

of Montreal "When You Come Around (Everything Disappears)" live on a public broadcast show called Spy Girls from Athens GA

i am unable to rip things off my dvd for i do not have a computer but if anyone else has the dvd or finds anymore links please let me know and share them discogs has a pretty good list of everything on the dvd.

The average Tumblr user talks about BDSM and general kink in the same sort of tone & level of detail as, like, a 15 year old pretending to get drunk off of margarita mix
