247. DOM "TELEPHONE"

here's a healthy dose of deliciously, fuzzed-out, hazy, hook-laden, sun-baked, bumble-gum pop goodness. Telephone is from Worcester, Massachusetts-based indie-pop misfits Dom off their infectious new "Family Of Love" EP (2011).

you've gotta adore the manic, skitzed-out, off-kilter keyboard riff on Telephone, it's reminiscent of The Clean's early, wonderfully quirky, organ-laced tunes, like on their debut single Tally Ho. enjoy!

246. LITTLE ...

246.

Little by little, hearing became my favourite sense;

for just as it is the voice that reveals the inwardness

which is incommensurable with the outer, so the ear

is the instrument whereby that inwardness is grasped,

hearing the sense by which it is appropriated.

{Søren Kiergegaard, Either/Or: A Fragment of Life}

244.

The reader is the space on which all the quotations

that make up a writing are inscribed without any of

them being lost; a text's unity lies not in its origin

but in its destination.
