The Best Albums of 2012
It’s this time again. Albums of the year. Don’t have my usual ten albums
this year like I used to in 2011 and 2010, but hey so what? The ones I’ve got
are good ones though. In no particular order.
Great band, fearless musicians and tremendously innovative. Haters gonna hate, but I love it.
Some true gems on this. Talking predominantly ‘Pyramids’ and ‘Bad
Religion’. Worthy follow-up to ‘Nostalgia, Ultra’.
Big. ‘Backseat Freestyle’ - HUGE!
I know, I know it’s all been out before, but to hear it remastered and as
one coherent album makes it all the more enjoyable. So much love.
Some
indie stuff I like.
Mainly
because of ‘110%’. What a tune.
Da
man!!!
Death
Grips – No Love Deep Web
Simply
because his relentless, don’t give a fuck attitude and all the fun bizzznizzzz
with the record label really amused me, the tunes are sick and his angry energy is actually quite gripping. Literally. Also let’s not forget THAT COVER.

Charlotte Olympia Shoe Lust Part Two
I know I have talked about it before, but Charlotte Olympia makes the best shoes. Like ever. My current obsessions below.

Give me your hand. Here take my heart.
The other day I had an interesting conversation with a friend that
started something like this:
Me: “No one has ever asked me out....“
Her: “Yeah because you don’t
stop to give them the time to do it....there were at least three guys looking
at you“
That got me thinking. Is it me or is it other
people? Is it a combination of the two? Is everything a big misunderstanding
because everyone is confused and no-one wants to get hurt. The answers are
probably yes. Life’s complicated. People are complicated. Suck time.
So anyway, since I certainly don’t have any
answers (as we all know by now) I asked my wise friend to author a post on what
she thinks about love, life, gender roles and why all this is so complex.
Ladies and Gentlemen, we used to say. Now we
should probably call it “power bitches and wimps"… it really is a pity that
girls have surpassed the aim of emancipation and are now surprised that there
are no “real” men because they simply 'out-emancipated' them.
Having become hardened in the work place and
in the emotional space, women are longing for strong men whilst also demanding
to be the strong one themselves. Checkmate.
Now that they are finally on the way up on
the emancipation ladder, they unfortunately don’t have anyone to share this
success with. After decades of struggle women are still alone, just in a
different way. What’s missing in this perfectly successful little world is a
man to give them strength, to bounce ideas off, to laugh with and to love.
Looks like they have to clean up the mess they
created. A few ways to make this easier to simply let men be men. How you ask?
Let them open doors for you because it's nice. Let them pay
your bill with the crystal-clear awareness that you could perfectly well do it
yourself. Let them feel like your hero and protector. And don’t forget that
that doesn’t mean a step back but a step forward to understanding that we need
each other and that we need to work around the little quirks and with the
little misunderstandings.
Most importantly, be patient with men because
change is in the air for them too.
