I have seriously been neglecting this blog, a fact that will be remedied soon. In the meantime, check out my tumlbr (link to the left, to the left). I have actually been updating it because it requires so much less effort than this blog. Yay for laziness!

all the wandas i’ve ever met are crazy.

I'm so happy that Bill Murray is just as funny/weird/eccentric/awesome as you would expect him to be.

compromization.

Songza is the best thing ever. If you are really lazy sometimes like me, it is a great way to have playlists pre-made for different moods. It also has the "At a 90's School Dance" playlist, which is obviously the greatest series of songs in the universe.

It is also perfect for working out. There is so much Spice Girls on there, I was in heaven while running, which is saying something. "Come on, Come on" came on and I couldn't help but be reminded of this beautiful and touching rendition from Spice World.

I mean, nothing says classy like purple spandex ass-less suits.

some call them jumpers.

When I showed this to my friends, they were like what the hell is this? Though, to be fair, that is the reaction my friends have to most things I force them to watch.

So what the hell is this? It's a funny little video from the clothing company Pringle of Scotland that is totally weird yet oddly endearing. David Shrigley, an English artist, does the animation and infuses the clip with his irreverent and completely (at least in my eyes) British humor.

Long live Gerald!

it ain't no good til it hurts a little bit.

In general, I have no interest or use for reggae. This song, however, is just so good.

that wide wild sky.

I saw Edward Sharp and the Magnetic Zeroes perform a couple of years ago at the Newport Film Festival. And when I say perform, I mean they really put on a show; it was fun, a little raucous, and really illustrated how some bands can actually play music live.

Anyways, I was browsing Spotify the other day looking for new music, and I saw that Edward Sharpe had released a new album, Here. I've always thought that they were a lot weirder than they seemed in "Home", which is a great mainstream indie song, by the way. Here definitely continues and builds on their combination of sing-songy innocence and freak folk tendencies, while adding a little more of the back porch banjo spirit.

"I Don't Want to Pray" is my favorite track on the album, and they all just look like they enjoy what they do so much in this performance.

It is kinda funny that I am attracted to this piece as I am an agnostic, if not an atheist. There is often just so much joy and community in spiritual songs. See Ladysmith Black Mambazo's "This IS The Way We Do".

Also I forgot that Nora Kirkpatrick is in Edward Sharpe. She is awesome in Dorm Life, the best webseries ever. Watch it.

you only funky as your last cut.

Just a great old Outkast jam.
