Devotchka - "Enemy Guns"

A Polish Ennio Morricone song!

Velvet Underground - "Venus In Furs"

Did I ever realise how amazing this song actually is?

Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather
Whiplash girlchild in the dark
Comes in bells, your servant, don't forsake him
Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart

Downy sins of streetlight fancies
Chase the costumes she shall wear
Ermine furs adorn the imperious
Severin, Severin awaits you there

I am tired, I am weary
I could sleep for a thousand years
A thousand dreams that would awake me
Different colors made of tears

Kiss the boot of shiny, shiny leather
Shiny leather in the dark
Tongue of thongs, the belt that does await you
Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart

Severin, Severin, speak so slightly
Severin, down on your bended knee
Taste the whip, in love not given lightly
Taste the whip, now plead for me

I am tired, I am weary
I could sleep for a thousand years
A thousand dreams that would awake me
Different colors made of tears

Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather
Whiplash girlchild in the dark
Severin, your servant comes in bells, please don't forsake him
Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart

Kurt Vonnegut - "Galálagos"

Enjoyed it, but not as much as Slaughterhouse-Five or Welcome to the Monkey House.

It featured his typical deadpan writing style and the many forward-references.

Loved reading it, an "easy" read, but it didn't capture me as much as his other works.

Boef En de Gelogeerde Aap - "Wij Zijn"

(via Luisterpaal)

Boze reppers. Breakbeat-ish. Wel aardig.

Veel quotes, prettig gedaan. Een uit "lock, stock,.." ?
