take me away stratocruiser.









It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a blimp...no, it's the gorgeous, futuristic-looking Stratocrusier, currently in concept form by Tino Schaedler and Michael J. Brown.

Calling it a "lifestyle zeppelin," the duo designed the white airship as the latest offering in luxury travel that refreshes passengers instead of leaving them dry, dehydrated and jet lagged, a consequence travelers have come to expect.

The key is in the airship's explicit focus on health and entertainment. The designers chose helium to power the cruiser smoothly through the air, an easy ride that would urge passengers to stray far from their seats to take advantage of the on-board spa (with treatments and personal trainers even), a gourmet restaurant with stunning views and private cabins. Air-sickness bags could be saved for use after a night of partying and dancing to music provided by invited DJs. Those on deadline can work from mini offices, likely to be well-stocked with all the latest technological features.



While the Stratocruiser is something to look forward to for long international destinations, the concept is actually made for medium haul travel, such as across the Pacific or Atlantic and between Europe and the Middle East.

Recording personnel for this album were Franklin Bruno, Annie Clark, Erik Friedlander, Peter Hughes, Jon Wurster, the Bright Mountain Choir, and your humble narrator. It will be released by 4AD, and features artwork by Vaughan Oliver. It was recorded at Prairie Sun, and produced by Scott Solter & John Vanderslice. We are really excited about this album, and we wish it were out right now, but there is a law against releasing albums in December unless you are Queen. Any album you see released in December is actually by Queen, no matter what it says on the cover. Then in January everybody is recovering from having listened to too much Queen. Hence, February. See you then!



try it.

my attempt at art.

dream time.

Oh so latterly I have been having some of the most fascinating, reoccurring and realistic dreams ever. I have no idea on how to analyse them or anything however. Here are two that have taken place on numerous occasions.

Dream 1:
So it all starts with myself walking through a tunnel into the Beijing Olympic running track. After being ushered to the starting line I realised I had made it to the 400 meter women’s finals and was competing for Germany. Realising all competitors resembled friends of mine (I shall not name who) in some way or another, I decided I could talk most of them into allowing me victory. After all, this was my dream. After chatting to them for a while they all denied my request. So we begin the race, I took off attempting to get a reasonable lead. As I slowly built up speed I realised my legs could not carry me any faster! Even though I knew I could run at a much greater pass than I was running. As everybody passed me I feared a last place finish, yet one competitor (who again, shall remain unnamed, yet her country was England? Know idea on the reasoning behind that either), slowed down next to me and ran along with me the entire track, prompting me to run in front of her at the finish line. Stopping still about a meter from the finish line, I retired from the race and walked back to my hotel room, never to see said generous competitor again.

Dream 2:
Being awoken at my sisters house early on a Sunday morning, I was told of the visitors that she had coming around. I had to be up and out in the lounge room entertaining them all. Stumbling out of bed I attempted to open my eyes, alas! I could not! No matter how hard I tried! They just shut again! Finding myself walking blindly through the middle of all these visitors, I had to continuously apologise.

i'll take you on a trip.

Old Joy. (Will Oldham).

Danielson: A Family Movie.

i'm not there.

i hope someday my death will be as significant.

My name is tait. There is no emphasis on the first 't'.

I am at home alone. Consuming alcohol to fill a certain void that I cannot seem to plug. Possibly something on that later. That certain level of intoxication that prompts you to write has been hit and some rather impressive recent musical listenings has indeed spurred a few thoughts.

Firstly, exhaustion! What on earth did I do to be pushed into such irreversible fatigue? After a week straight of work and hard partying. I hit possibly the largest wall I have ever encountered. Two days of laying in bed being the anti-socialistic stranger I am, an I awake with a lack of limb movement and the desire to do nothing more than move to a cottage in the middle of nowhere and do very little. I need motivation. I need inspiration. I need more than hallucinations and temporary moments of complete and utter contentment. I have an idea on what I could do to fix such a thing. But do you think for the love of god I could do it! Oh dear

Secondly, a certain push towards insanity, which I shall not discuss. What is going on? I’m really not sure. I shall just endeavour to ride said condition out. But it certainly is bringing some rather frightening and entertaining events into my life. I’d absolutely love someone to follow me around to make a documentary. Just to see the sort of tomfoolery I get up to.

The next thing I’d like to have a ramble about is Christmas! Why the fuck (the first profanity I have used all blog) does nobody get giddy and shake anymore! Just the sight of Christmas lights sends me into fits of grins and spasms. On that note, I have decided this weekend I am going on a rather large Christmas lights hunt.

I might have more to ramble on in a few moments; I thought I would post this in case I waddle over to yee ole bed.

MMF.

was fun. more on this subject tomorrow.

Thursday, December 13, 2007

oh dear. the incredible significance of this movie will never be understood.

intoxication.

oh dear. the epitome of happyness. i misspelt happyness on purpose to show my level of intoxication.

Primary School Concerts.

Oh how unbelievably tedious they are. It’s almost like watching grass grow, whilst ants crawl all over you. Not too mention the excessive amount of my time it is taking up. I have no time for anything! I come home late; eat tea then go to sleep only to wake up early the next morning for déjà vu. I need a long holiday. Amongst many other things. Looking at photo’s at work from golden plains has reminded me of rad times. Hopefully this will be a repeat this weekend.

patrick.

do you think i can recall what i was going to write about today? no.

After my little run in with the law last weekend I was prompted to venture court-wards today for a sort of hearing I suppose. After a short blather from the magistrate I have been released punishment free. It was in his opinion and the words of the officers involved, that “tait is a harmless young man with quite the sense of humour”. According to one officer’s statement, “he attempted to sell us his shoes for a ridiculous price, then continued to justify how his shoes were worn by jesus”.

After leaving the court with a rather large grin on my face I managed to run into Fireman Patrick. Who immediately questioned myself on the length of my imprisonment. 3 months I replied. Anybody gullible enough to believe such a thing deserves to be lied to.

recordings.

oh so over the past month or so i have written about 26 songs, including a few covers. mainly consisting of myself on all instruments, however quite a few contributions have been made from other parties. a significant amount of said songs have been recorded. however, i am yet to mix them properly. i’m actually not all that eager to do so. i think they shall soon be either lost forever or hidden away for three generations from now to find, so i do not have to handle their analysis and critique.

maybe one may show up on here in the future. if i can master it well enough so to not embarrass myself.

westerns.

a long time ago, the increase in such chemicals as dopamine should have caused a sort of increase in undomesticated behaviour. ones lack of response to the consumption of three illicit substances containing said chemical can only mean a consistent abnormality in the functioning of central nervous system. i’m a psychologically unsound lad who thrives on emotive and cumbersome situations yet manages to some how monitor these situations through severe mental confusion.
