Angelus Novus - Paul Klee, gifted to Walter Benjamin
A Klee painting named ‘Angelus Novus’ shows an angel looking as though he is about to move away from something he is fixedly contemplating. His eyes are staring, his mouth is open, his wings are spread. This is how one pictures the angel of history. His face is turned toward the past. Where we perceive a chain of events, he sees one single catastrophe which keeps piling wreckage and hurls it in front of his feet. The angel would like to stay, awaken the dead, and make whole what has been smashed. But a storm is blowing in from Paradise; it has got caught in his wings with such a violence that the angel can no longer close them. The storm irresistibly propels him into the future to which his back is turned, while the pile of debris before him grows skyward. This storm is what we call progress.
The Dream Before, Laurie Anderson
Hansel and Gretel are alive and well
And they're living in Berlin
She is a cocktail waitress
He had a part in a Fassbinder film
And they sit around at night now drinking schnapps and gin
And she says: Hansel, you're really bringing me down
And he says: Gretel, you can really be a bitch
He says: I've wated my life on our stupid legend When my one and only love was the wicked witch.
She said: What is history?
And he said: History is an angel being blown backwards into the future
He said: History is a pile of debris
And the angel wants to go back and fix things
To repair the things that have been broken
But there is a storm blowing from Paradise
And the storm keeps blowing the angel backwards into the future
And this storm, this storm is called Progress

Bonnie Tyler wreath! Over the holidays, my sister, brother-in-law, niece, and nephew sent me a “wreath” made of the 7-inch vinyl 45rpm for Bonnie Tyler’s “Total Eclipse Of The Heart” (- b/w her cover of Bryan Adams’ “Straight From The Heart”). Bonnie’s ‘Faster Than The Speed Of Night’ LP was one of the first rock albums to enter our household. Erin sent this in early December, and it just arrived now... but So worth the wait! #TurnAroundBrightEyes #TurnAround #LoveYouButWhatsUpRoyalMail #RoyalMail #TotalEclipseOfTheHeart #BonnieTyler #45rpm #7inch #7inchvinyl #80s #80smusic @leah_huntley https://www.instagram.com/p/B7WdI5-DtTE/?igshid=vtr54q8v5ri8

Total Eclipse of the Heart by Bonnie Tyler
...because I just finished Rob Sheffield’s book Turn Around Bright Eyes: The Rituals of Love and Karaoke. It was excellent. I wondered if it, or any of the other songs he mentions geeks out about, would stick and it hadn’t the whole time I was listening to the book. I’m pleasantly surprised it happened now that it’s over, like a bad aftertaste of something that was pretty tasty.

Once upon a time there was light in my life, now there’s only love in the dark. My life in a song, e buona fine dell’esilio a me. Per ora. #bonnietyler #totaleclipseoftheheart #turnaroundbrighteyes #vinilipazzi #45rpms #japanesevinyl #bruciatemilacartadicredito #愛のかげり#abbattetemi
