Oscillate Wildely? Why the name (besides the obvious wordplay on Oscar Wilde and the Smiths' reference)?
Oscillations. Ups and Downs, To and Fros, Back and Forths. Ad infinitum. Flames rising up from a hearth, Waves hitting the shore, Wind making a flag flutter, the Earth on its axis. Elementary motion.
Assuming, for a split second, some semblance of order, an equilibrium, before being disturbed. Striving for order again. Disturbed yet again by forces beyond its control.
Ad infinitum.
A predictable destination, an unpredictable path.
Like the lives we live. Dynamic, fluctuating, inescapable.
Knowing where to go but not how to go there or knowing how to go there but not knowing where. Clinging to the past, worrying for the future, forgetting the present.
Enter wildness. Chaos. A deliberate injection of more randomness to mock the forces beyond our control. For the heck of it.
Clinging only to the present. Because its there, because it can be held on to, made interminable without worry for what's happened or what will.
Chaos in order, order in chaos.
Like Music. For what is music but pleasant sound and what is sound but wild oscillations of air?
Oscillate Wildely, friends!
Thank you for getting through that eccentric, esoteric, enigmatic twaddle. Here's announcing my return (after what can only be described as a hellish time - exams, more exams designed as projects, more exams of the physical and emotional kind...).
Here are some tracks to kickstart this return. Here's to music!
1. Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels) - Arcade Fire
3. Buddy Holly by Weezer

1. Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels) - Arcade Fire
Arcade Fire's first song off their debut album - Funeral. Brilliantly textured, reflective, and such pretty (though serious) lyrics!
2. Karma Police by Radiohead
A Radiohead classic! Felt like sharing it because I've been listening it a lot these days!
3. Buddy Holly by Weezer
Chill, laid-back song by a chill, laid-back band! Don't tell me the 'OO WEE OO I look just like Buddy Holly' bit isn't catchy!
'Til next time!
