has anyone else noticed that almost every movie has roughly the same indie soundtrack?

flying over the pacific now. 14 hour flight from sydney to los angeles.

an aside: has anyone else noticed that almost every movie has roughly the same indie soundtrack? or variations on the same indie soundtrack? don't get me wrong, i like a lot of indie music, but it feels like every movie has roughly the same pitchfork sanctioned indie soundtrack, with some jangly guitars and some winsome vocals over acoustic guitars and some slightly quirky music made in greenpoint with perhaps an accordion and a drum machine and maracas and a boy and a girl singing j.d salinger inspired lyrics about love. it's nice, i guess, better than generic top 40 dreck, but still a bit odd that goofy winsome williamsburg indie music now occupies the ubiquitous movie soundtrack spots that huey lewis and phil collins and steve perry occupied in the 80's. again, it's nice, to an extent. but maybe some variety? nothing wrong with winsome indie guitar pop, but maybe just a bit of variety?

ok, we're landing in l.a now, time to turn off the computer.

another thing, has anyone else noticed that almost every celebrity who has died in the last 5 years has died primarily of prescription drugs? maybe people assume that because they're prescribed they're safe? a friend of mine recently went into a coma from prescription drug abuse (luckily he's ok now). but eating bucketloads of anti-anxiety drugs and a.d.d drugs and sleeping pills and synthetic opiates and etc on a daily basis just can't be too healthy, especially when mixed with sweet lady liquor (aka: hooch, booze, rotgut, momma's medicine, etc). i mean, i understand the appeal of prescription drugs, as they're powerful and legal and easy to come by and they look so sanctioned and official in their little amber plastic bottles. hopefully no more people will die from contra-indications of prescription drugs. it doesn't seem like such a happy way to go.

ok, flight's landing in los angeles now, the sun kissed land of prescription drug abuse and indie soundtracks.

Delusion DE GRandeur

Okay I'll stop now.

I just want to ramble on

A poem:

You're going down with some supernatural tendencies
I say sahu and you say what's up with me
keep in mind I avoid the streets all the time
those drugs will kill you
end up in Modigishu
Why did you say the voices will go away
tell your moby fans that I'm here to stay
let me trouble you with some supernatural tendencies
there's a war going on inside...

Schizophrenia why did you take away my dreams
Schizophrenia the world of make believe

Mental institutions yea fuck I'm not going there
Hospitalizations word on the street you're not the same kid I used to meet

Who Is the MAd Man
Who is the mad man

Schizophrenia I see you everyday
Schizophrenia why do you treat me this way

Tori Amos

We have stories to tell. Stories that take you places. Whether you'd be a football player or a fashion designer we all have a story to tell. I wake up in the mornings with Tori Amos by my side. The red headed singer who plays the piano. She is my safety blanket from the confusing "telepathy" I receive. Echos of communications of confusion. After the third call Hot Potato comes into mind. A game I play to keep the voices away. Can You believe that Julia Butterfly Hill was once a telepathic informer? Meaning I would hallucinate to Julia Butterfly Hill. She was predicting my future in terms of employment possibilities. Of course there be Paul who be describing the things that I do. I can't leave out my Sahu. My right ear has a mind of it's own. It doesn't come out too often though. But why Tori Amos? Could of it been Moby... Moby... Why in a panic attack I refer to Tori Amos, Cornflake Girl? A sorta Fairytale? Maybe because it was the first thing I said. It is my defense to the world, a simple word. A word that would create a story. ...

MOBY...

You're dealing with a girl that is too harsh on herself...

a goofy idea I had recently for how to write a love story

...but first, it sounds like your friend might need emotional support. was it a suicide attempt? I wish him well Moby and I wish you whatever it takes to be able to be there as a friend for him in the best way you can.

I had a goofy idea for how to write a love story (for film) recently. I'd thought it would be nice to have someone else contributing to the script writing process, someone who could maybe write some of the dialogue for one of the pair of characters who fall in love with each-other, and make some of the decisions about how that character behaves in the story etc.

The person I asked is an Artist who works with words in his profession, but not in the capacity of a writer as such. I know he also likes writing for pleasure, as a hobby so to speak. He has a very charming, witty personality, and I thought he just might be very good in that role. He's once said that he'd give up his day job to be able to do script writing (for one of his favourite TV shows). So I sent him an email to ask him if he'd be into contributing to that script of mine, but I didn't get a reply.

I think I made a mistake. Ooops. Oh well. Shit happens!!

Mystery World!!!

I am afraid of my feelings...

Mystery World!!!

mistake

Ps

You can joke but I did overdose on prescriptions meds many times before. So I can relate to that kind of story. WAtch it. I'm trying to find my crew. YES so next time I say suicidal can somebody please beilieve me? San Francisco I'm still schizophrenic you know and I did say suicide once or twice. But that just ended right there. Please Answer my prayers.

TO MY FATHER

Crazy.

Ahem

sorry readers.

oh boy

yes I'm day dreaming. It's my life. I love you Moby so I'm taking up your space. It's just that I want certain luxuries and I'm being entrepreneur in my life because I don't want to be on ssi forever. I really do love you Moby thank you for allowing me to do this. What do you do when you got a dream? I'm not the writer so this is hard. I can't predict the conclusion. All I got is what happened and the Akashic records is what happened. I'm schizophrenic yes. the generic term I'm without certain capabilities. I am afraid of Paul Salopek's Perception. What if he's really a guy who doesnt care? All of this day dreaming wasted. My dreams. I'm 26 years old I am wanting a secure life. I am wanting to be a master again of some sort. I am going on Moby Becuase I enjoy the theme. I love you Moby. I love you Moby. I'm trying to be an entrepreuneur with my life. I'm trying to use it to the best of my capabilities. I really pray Paul Salopek will come through. He haunts my dreams.

Remember?

The Akashic Records...

Yea!!

A pulitzer prize winning journalist imprisoned in Darfur.
A young artist
a chance meeting of the two on greyhound
writing letters to each other
International voyages of correspondance
a retreat center
yoga massage reiki - the peace guild
pulitzer prize winner's journey
schizophrenia
lost of friendship
overcoming schizophrenia
a friendship that will last forever
the Akashic Records

well...

Maybe if you come through we'll be both king and queen at the Sun Dance Film Festival.

MAN> I'm not a writer.

Where's your sense of direction?

I don't know what to do. I google your name and I'm puzzled. Questions not answered. I know we're not romantically fit, but I lost a friend. According to the Akashic records... on 9/11 was a bit of a set back. Going on Chicago Tribune for Africa's latest war on terror 24, 25 years was appauling. I'm attracted to that? I'm attracted to pain and suffering and military post traumatic stress? What now what can I do? You refer once to John Cage. I lost a friend a poetic man with a keen sense of vocabulary. You kept my diary no?
The I have a crush on a certain teacher. I lost a friend out of my schizophrenia. It's awfully silly you know. I hate you for ignoring me. I lost something really special. So that's why I complain on the streets. I'm losing my dream.

yo

What a hoot.

Bill Richardson

Bill Richardson,

I was 23 years old when I sat next to NAtional Geographic and my oh my I fell in love. I read Darfur and military stuff to Muslim groups and I got ultra confused. His stories were too complicated but I fell in love with Darfur and he did diss his wife you know.
So the man you saved is the man I fell in love with but at last my dreams are at a halt. I don't undersatand why journalist don't respond to your emails. I don't understand why Paul Salopek had to disappear. It's just that I fell in love with NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC dude.

Reaching out for an answer

I hear an echo, a telepathic lover in the distance reminding me you're insane. Tori Amos, TOri Amos, Hot Potato - the distress call to help smooth the pain. It's Delusion de Grandeur TIme and I often think about my future. THey can read your mind. How come nothing ever comes in a foreign language? IS this what you call telepathy? No it's what I call a mental illness. Different From a beautiful Mind. THis involves sitting next to Paul Salopek on Greyhound and visiting my mother who currently is in prison in the Philippines. It's about going to the Omega Institute joining Peace Guild and taking Carolyn Myss Workshops. It's about falling in love with Paul Salopek Getting that paranoid sensation of being watched under a camera. It's about John of God and all of these hospitalizations and Timeshifting. Taking it easy under SSI. It still is about Paul SAlopek. Now I'm writing on Moby. It's about being an ex omegan Mental health in Holistic Communities. It's about getting pissed off at people and the silent treatment. It's about looking to Nathaniel Ayers and Steve Lopez for Answers. Overdosing on Zyprexa. Falling in love with doctors. The story is a love story about a war torn Journalist who never replies to your emails. Being a BiSexual for distraction. Julia Butterfly Hill. It's about where I'm going to be. What Volenteer at the SF ZOO? relocate to SAn Francisco? Start Swing Dancing Again?
Will people fall in love with me the scars will not discriminate? In terms of writing a book - there is no conclusion yet. just a story where even I can't remember my past.
It's about Darfur and Ice Cream and Holding on to friendships that won't seem to last. It's about forgiveness and still wanting that dream of make believe. You have inheritance. Say what to my ear? Death brings another situation. Say What to my ear?
You are a story after all you're only 26.

The newspapers say it's just a blog

I might be fixated on people. Paul Salopek and Linda Lynch are pissed at me.
I seeking out in desparation. TO the viewer who sees this. HElp Me please. Moby I'm truely deeply sorry.

WHat goes around comes around

I might get into trouble for being schizophrenic. I'm not exactly sure what my diagnosis is I might be schizo affective. The point is is that my dreams are slowly fading away. I got dumped and My reiki master has no sense of compassion. The Stigma exists between reiki masters. I'm a wizard. What you're schizophrenic lets not bring emergency map coning around her. I believe that my master is not my master at all just a fat man with voodoo magic who gets scared of schizophrenics. I believe that the peace guild is a lazy reiki club who is very hyprocyritical and fake. FAKE HIPPIES> That's right. Why represent the peace guild when Your master is scared of the word schizophrenic? I feel ultra rejected. Julia Butterfly Hill Dumped me so there's no good reason to be a vegan. That's it Moby you got these enlightened people scared of schizophrenia scared of disease and John of god multilates people. Notice the support I'm getting from Omega? Good Because I'm discriminated against. I'm not going to get the job. I'm getting worse any how. I can't believe people who want to do good just ignore schizophrenics. I did a cruel thing to Nathaniel Ayers too but I deleted it. What goes around comes around. COME ON REIKI MASTER I NEED YOU BUT WHAT IM DEFECTED IM INCURABLE THERES NO HOPE FOR NATASHA BRINSKO? MOby Please dont dump me I know I scare people but I'm reaching out in desparation.

new age

in france, the health department anticipated that 70% of the population should be vaccinated against the flu h1n1 (and bought 95 millions of vaccines).. in reality, only 5% of the french population accepted to be vaccinated cause of the potential side effects of the new vaccine.
though, my country is the most important consumer of drugs in europe (specially, antidepressant and anxiolytic). this "disobedience" of french people in relation to vaccination, is (for me) the first step against pharmaceutical firms and their dictatorial politics. i have to specify that we can't choose our medicine in france. it's very difficult to treat yourself by alternative medicine : you dont' have informations or practitioners.. i'd like to use chinese medicine or ayurveda and easier homeopathy or nature cure.. that would be a new age for health !

bisous from france (country of the best social insurance)

not just new indie...old indie also

I can't tell you the number of film trailers I've seen for movies, small and large that use ,say...The Violent Femmes 1st album tracks on the trailer. Just the trailer.

I don't even know if the music is in the actual film, but invariably, it makes the movie seem cooler and hipper than it actually is. Also other 80's music.

I really don't get it. Also, Is mobygratis still active?

prescription drugs

What I find bothersome about the prescription drug deaths / overdoses is in relation to medical marijuana. No one has died of marijuana, but it gets a lot of resistance as far as being used for medicinal purposes. But a doctor would be more than happy to prescribe you whatever new drug that hasn't had substantial testing done. I just wish people could be a little more open-minded when it comes to the subject.

It is interesting that people

It is interesting that people have such a fear of prescription medication. Sometimes it is absolutely needed for people. Take a look at those with mental illness and tell me that being off medication would improve their quality of life. More often then not someone who is Bi-Polar 1 will end up committing suicide or go epically manic and in both cases destroy their lives.

Does everyone need to be on anti-depressants etc? No. But the 1% of the population that is bi-polar needs them in order to function.

Does someone need to be given propofol (spl) to fall asleep? Hell no, that is absolutely ridiculous, it is an anesthetic and a dangerous one at that. Many anesthesiologists have died from giving it to themselves (to get high, huge problem in the practice).

There is nothing wrong with prescription medication when used as directed and prescribed by a competent doctor. Abusing prescription medication that you should not be taking or even abusing medication you are taking is asking for trouble. You are right, prescribed medication that is not yours is not safe.

Pardon my rant, but I find it a slippery slope from warning people about prescription medication to decrying them all together. I say this not so much to Moby as to those who have posted.

Oh, and pharmaceutical companies are bastards at how much they charge for their medication. There is no reason that to be healthy one has to spend more money on medication then one actually makes. I know people like this and who without health insurance would be financially destroyed so fast it is not funny.

I now conclude my rant.

P.S. Anxiouslly Awaiting New Movie & TV Show Soundtracks

With your beautiful music my love!!!! Tis so much better than Indie. Your music is mystifying and so deep with emotion and is so perfect for dramatic scenes, thus wonderful for the arts always. So I do hope that *you* will again consider selling your music as soundtrack and for commercials. Angel Kisses xxxx

Okay, I need to get ready for work. I'm so polky this morning. Winks*, Because 'I Love *You*' and it's very imporant for me to reply to your writings.

See my previous more detailed reply to this journal below. Angel Kisses (This is simply a P.S. Message). XO's ILU XO's

Indie Music is nice, not as nice as your music, but very nice!!

Good Morning Tweetheart,

Well, I personally find that a lot of Indie music is fun and yes some songs can get annoying if they are played too often, however I find that if a movie is a really good one and touches the heart, then the song is extra special, because I relate the movie to the song, because the song was part of it....*You* know.....I think of the movie when I hear the song and vice versa. And of course if a movie is a love story then I always naturally think of *you*, in all cases, because I love *you* so much and I imagine us in real life and even acting & dancing together together in movies, musicals, *you* performing privately for me and even publically at dj sets and singing and playing your many instruments and such, but I'd say I think of *you* more so doing regular day to day family & home life types of things with Lil Brayden, the pets and I, than your career type things, but everything comes into play into all of my thoughts and your performance things give my thoughts strings lots of exciting pizazz. Winks*.... Yes I do, I admit it, that is how much I love *you*. I think of *you* all the time and never forget *you* in my thoughts, my dreams, my endeavours, my spur of the moment moods and such. Like for instance, if I'm in the mood to have a smoothie, I always wish *you* were with me so I could ask *you* what kind *you* would like me to make *you* and so we could hold hands and gaze at eachother while we sip on a delicious fruit smoothie. Sighs.....

And being that I am a woman and I naturally love girlie films and most girlie films have indie music sound tracks, well I guess that's another reason I love such music.

And with regards to perscription drugs, I don't take any at all. I have only ever taken them when I'm really sick, like with a bad flu, bronchitis and such. I dislike taking any medications so I only take them when I feel so awful that I cannot take the pain any longer. Like if I have a bad migraine headache and I have to do homework or I'm at work and cannot take the pain or cannot sleep due to the pain.

My Lil Brayden is on Clonodine to calm him with his ADHD that he has from his Autism and it does help him calm down and also sleep. If I don't give it to him he is very high strung and wired and will stay up all night if you let him. I too worry about the long term effects with this and want to get other opinions from doctors about it, but when he doesn't take it he is so clumsy, do to his energy that goes far beyond what he is able to handle and he hurts himself, such as runs into walls easily and trips all over the place, which is dangerous. Whenever I don't have his medication with me, he doesn't sleep much at all and he is very much like a terrible two's aged child times ten. So I have to be extra attentive, than I already usually am when he takes his medication, to make sure he doesn't put himself into situations that could be harmful and hurt him. He also talks non-stop, giggles. So he does need something to calm his moods and help him sleep, but I know there has to be something else, besides Medication that could help him out, I just need to find what will work for him. I know not to give him lots of sweets and I tried giving him the gluten-free diet a few years ago, as that helps some autistic children, but he was starving all the time and his daycare teachers said his mood was cranky and it just wasn't effective in a good way for my son, thus I discontinued that. I do find that certain foods he eats causes him to be more rowdy, but isn't that the case with all children. So being as he is my only child and my first, I'm still learning the do's and dont's and what helps him best, but I admit I feel guilty about him having to take prescription medication, but when he doesn't take it, it isn't good either. So what can I do? If anyone is reading this and has an autistic child that perhaps is much like my son and has some tips for me, it would be much appreciated. I have many books about autism and they help, but honestly the clonodine thus far has the best results for my son.

Mo Darling, it has been so sad indeed to see how many deaths come about from people due to their prescription drugs. It's sad that you can't always rely on them to help you get better. And I wanted to add that not all of the celebrities were drugging up or drinking when they died of prespcription drugs. Some of them naturally died because their hearts or whatever was the cause was effected by the prescription. It wasn't necessarily anything that they ate or drank with the medicine, it simply was the fact that their body didn't respond well to the prescription. Tis so very sad......And for those that did combine other items that shouldn't have been combined with prescription drugs, I want to say that people should always realize that if they are taking a prescription, it will react with certain things and they should ask their doctor if they should or should not take or drink something with such and usually the prescription containers have warnings about such as well. Also, as I always say, "everything in moderation", but still, some things *you* just cannot combine. *You* know.....

Thinking of *you* and wishing *you* a safe trip home to New York City.I'm very happy to know *you* got to LA safely.

We Love *You* Ever So Much,

Your Eternal Love Rachelle, Lil Brayden & Pets

Indie is the new top40! America is really going down hill when the government (headed by people controlled by lobbyists in the pharmaceutical industry and other sick industries) are cramming death down the throats of everyone and anyone, calling anyone who denies it "crazy" and letting the quality of our population turn to dirt.
