Into the Woods

Blossom Trail

So, my little Welsh trip in one word? Wet. In three slightly Irish words? Very feckin' wet. So, very few photos to show for myself, but I suppose on the plus side I did finally work out how to correctly pronounce "Betws-y-Coed"...

Branches

Trees seem to haunting me lately. I've been listening to Jimmy Scott sing "Sycamore Trees" on the Twin Peaks soundtrack - something you can see in situ about 4 minutes into this clip. That whole final episode genuinely scared me when I first saw it many years ago, and I still find it incredibly perturbing in a way that simultaneously makes perfect sense and no sense whatsoever...

It also looks like one of my photos might be used for a book cover with a tree connection - but I'll post more about that later when it's all confirmed.

Song of the week: the aforementioned Sycamore Trees. Album of the week: The Marble Index by Nico. A record that doesn't work at all when the sun is in the sky.

David...great clip and a great tune! Love the bottom...I would assume that's the one that may be used as it's a killer. Phil

Cheers Phil. It's actually a picture from a few years ago they're interested in - I'll post it up here at some point.

Thank you Phil!

For anyone who's interested enough - the full version of the song appears on the Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me soundtrack CD, and I would imagine on the TP 2nd Season soundtrack which is supposed to be out soon...
