Currently listening to:


Today David Bazan tweeted "Being alive is the best thing ever!" which is kind of odd because his songs are the saddest songs ever..

Usually when people write positive messages on forms of social media such as Twitter or Facebook I'm like "yeaaah but life kind of sucks" but no actually Mr. Bazan is right (even if he was being sarcastic..which because I'm sarcastic I often mistake positive remarks as such..) being alive and in good health is really important so I'm going to stop my bitchin for a little while.

I was feeling rather down the other day and I went for a bike ride and felt so much better. So thats my advice to you kids, go for a bike ride..you'll feel great! (sweaty and fugly..BUT GREAT)

Recently Watched: Where the Wild Things Are

I'm not really sure what I expected. I didn't grow up with the book, as much as I just thought the kids wolf outfit with the crown looked kind of awesome. So overall it was cool to look at, but it was sad. I wouldn't watch it again. The kid who played Max had a really good look for film. He reminded me of the kid with bunny ears in Gummo. SEE BELOW

The gift that keeps on giving

I still love these songs. Cold War Kids are the best. Over the past year I've listened to them obsessively. I experience synesthesia when I hear them....I can picture the West Coast vividly. I've always loved music videos or film w/ music and the Behave Yourself EP video really struck me. I posted it way back when..gezz its probably been a really long time.. but anyway Cold War Kids was the soundtrack to my vacation this past Spring, and they continue to entertain my ears with random performances./ different versions of their songs...

@CWK play a damn show in Baltimore.
