Toniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight

Oh. My. God.

When My Time Comes

Get thyself to Daytrotter (best. website. ever.) and download the recent session by a band called Dawes. Shit's awesome and I must say making me enjoy my midnight study break thoroughly. One anthro paper down, one bajillion to go! Yay college!

Julia Nunes, I Love You

I've been following her for a while (thanks andy!), and she's pretty much who I aspire to be.

What A Weekend

Well that was an eventful couple of days. The highlight was definitely seeing the Felice Brothers in concert. Even though I went alone I had the time of my life. I've decided to not let going alone get in the way of going to a concert again because in the end, the music is all that matters. I hope you all enjoyed yourselves and had a marvelous 4/20 (as for me, I ran some marvelous errands and took a marvelous nap). Alas my friends it is time to hunker down once more- just a few weeks more and it will be summer.

Skin of My Yellow Country Teeth

I love playing this song when it starts to get warm out. This isn't the official video, but its still kinda cute, no?

I Got a Case of the Mondays

It's nice to listen to music like this on dreary rainy days

Where the Wild Things Are

Holy crap, the fact that Arcade Fire is playing makes me that much more excited for this.

This. Looks. Awesome.

The Felice Brothers

Just bought a ticket to see these guys in a couple weeks. Woohoo!

Once

Brilliance.

Something I Missed

Walt Whitman, The Felice Brothers, and The Iron Horse. Three of my favorite things. I remember wanting to go to this show but no one would go with me because it was the first Friday back at school. Oh man how I wish I went to that show. If you want to do something, just go ahead and do it.

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah

Boy I forgot how much I love these guys. I wanted to post "Skin of my Yellow Country Teeth" but of course youtube does not have any adequate videos (I like live music, just not crappy videos of live music).

Be A Star

The dude over at Kitsune Noir (one of my favorite blogs) periodically makes mixtapes, and I am in love with the cover of his latest one. The photo is awesome and the title carries a lovely sense of yearning. I like it when things have a sense of yearning.
(The actual music on the tape aint bad either)

It's Only Love

Oh hey tomorrow is Valentine's day. I would be mostly ambivalent towards this fact if it weren't for my mother calling me and asking why I don't have a man. Thanks mom, I love you too.
(p.s. the song is "First Love" by the Maccabees and this aint even the official video-it was made by some dude on youtube. how firggan awesome is that??)

Wake Up

This weekend kind of sucked. Watching videos like this helps.

Play Me, I'm Yours

was the name of an art project on display in Sydney, Australia last month. British artist Luke Jerram put 30 pianos in different locations, saying that his goal was to “to challenge pre-conceived notions of city living and enhance our sense of community by providing free access to pianos all over the city”Even though I can't play piano, I think that this is such an awesome idea. I'm taking a class right now that addresses the problem of defining art. I myself cant say for sure what I think the definition of art is, and I don't really think anyone has the right to define art as a whole, but I think a project like this, which promotes creativity, sharing, and learning in a community sense is absolutely wonderful

Feel the Anger Subside

Music always helps.

My Recent Purchases

I went into town today with the intention of just buying textbooks for my classes (which seem to pretty awesome for the most part), but my resolve was quickly worn down and I purchased a few cool items along the way:

Spotted this kick-ass Woody Guthrie poster in a book store. I mean it was only 10 bucks, how could I not?

Hello old friends.

Postcards from yet another bookstore. I also bought a Billie Holiday one but left in my friend's bag. Oh darn.

The new Bon Iver album. Do I own a record player? Negative. Did that stop me from buying this, probably my most exciting purchase ever? Nope.

Nation of Heat

The video is a little wack, I must admit (it was the winner of a fan competition), but the song is LEGIT.
