52 mixtapes: la philosophie va mourir
C’est toujours par autrui que passe mon désir, et que mon désir reçoit un objet. Je ne désire rien qui ne soit vu, pensé, possédé par un autrui possible.
Gilles Deleuze, Logique du sens
Repeater: Marienbad
Repeater = Songs that go on repeat, at least for a little while.
Julia Holter is amazing, I know you know. I can’t stop listening to Ekstasis. Highlights for me? The opening track Marienbad and both Goddess Eyes (I & II). Love.

Starts off with a bang and slowly falls into anxious despair. May.
Enjoy!
Airhead :: Wait
Total Warr :: xxx HATE xxx
Love not hate. From Paris duo Total Warr. Listen!
52 mixtapes: one second of love
love songs don’t always have to be so f*cking depressing, do they? Maybe. But they can also make you dance! Or at least tap your toes.
Enjoy!
(I couldn’t help adding a few heartbreakers at the end…)
El Perro del Mar :: Shelter (The XX Cover)
It’s this kind of day.
Soft Metals :: Voices

About
"In order for music to free itself, it will have to pass over to the other side, there where territories tremble, where the structures collapse, where the ethoses get mixed up, where a powerful song of the earth is unleashed, the great ritornelles that transmutes all the airs it carries away and makes return." Gilles Deleuze
