Richard Brautigan - "Your Catfish Friend"

If I were to live my life
in catfish forms
in scaffolds of skin and whiskers
at the bottom of a pond
and you were to come by
   one evening
when the moon was shining
down into my dark home
and stand there at the edge
   of my affection
and think "It's beautiful
here by this pond.    I wish
    somebody loved me,"
I'd love you and be your catfish
friend and drive such lonely
thoughts from your mind
and suddenly you would be
   at peace,
and ask yourself, "I wonder
if there are any catfish
in this pond?   It seems like
a perfect place for them."

Diane Coffee - "Everybody's a Good Dog"

Very seventies sound to it. Can't describe it otherwise. Pleasant to have in the background. Very ... melodic.

Low - "Ones and Sixes" (2015)

Songs are ok.

  • The Innocents: quite intrigued by the low flarfy "beat"

Loin des Hommes (Far From Men) (2014)

Beautiful quiet film with Viggo Mortensen and Reda Kateb about a schoolteacher and a man in Algeria 1954, who, against the backdrop of rebellion, are thrown together for a lonely journey.

Based on the short story "The Guest" (le visiteur?) by Albert Camus.

Amazing emptiness.

Music by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis.

Written and directed by David Oelhoffen, somebody to keep looking for.
