Paul Westerberg - “Dyslexic Heart”

A really great song. A little bit of cheer for an icky looking Monday.

Movie challenge thing

Mon, 05 Sep 2011 11:33:00 -0500

Day 1 - best movie you saw during the last year.

For me, it’s a three way tie between Never Let Me Go, The Social Network, and How To Train Your Dragon.

(I always wind up doing the wrong movie challenge so if I find a better one I may switch over to that one…)

I got a playlist now, for all the visually inclined people. Some of the trailers suck hard, just to warn ya.

adderall withdrawal always means epic amounts of jamc, sonic youth, and garagey shoegaze in general. the sort of music i usually can’t stand. don’t question, just go with it.

Oasis - “Live Forever” (1994)

All this 20th anniversary of grunge stuff is ridiculous. I hate hate hate grunge.

So here’s some 90s rock that is totally not fucking grunge.

Nicki Minaj’s delivery sounds just like Lisa Left-Eye Lopez from TLC. Especially in “Super Bass,” which is the only Minaj song I know very well at all.

But if their country was on the verge of economic collapse because of a minority of conservative extremists causing absolute chaos and deadlock, they would probably be in the streets setting Paris on fire. Why do we as Americans deal with this sitting down? We need shock. We need to be goddamned heard. We need a revolution, the old one’s ideals have become far too corrupted. I don’t care that we narrowly escaped financial collapse (during a financial crisis) this time. Our government no longer works.

Goddamn. Either get the DVD (Nocturne), the live CD (again, Nocturne), or the studio album (A Kiss in the Dreamhouse), reader.

Foster The People - “Pumped Up Kicks”

So when I was at home my mom and I watched the majority of a top-twenty countdown on Fuse. New experience for the both of us, I might have recognized three songs.

But this song is legit, and it was on it. Both of us really liked it.

Also, explaining what Nicki Minaj is and why she’s so popular is something that is very difficult to do. Just FYI.

After the day from Hell, I figured that since I think it’s the Dormition of the Virigin, first day of Ramadan, and Lammas (which is kind of the most holidays of different religions I can remember coexisting) I couldn’t be petty and foolish all day. Kinda weird that those three are on the same day. So I threw all my comforters and pillows on the floor of my study and am chilling and listening to this transistor radio I acquired and I’m finally feeling alright. I bought some lovely incense in Atlanta and it’s pretty good. I may fall asleep here.

I love it when books take on the smell of their owner. Another reason why I hate loaning mine out. Like when you grab some moldy old Joyce book and it reeks of cigars or something. I tend to never smoke very much around my books, but I think it’d be lovely if they wound up having that clovey cinnamon smell that just lingers all throughout my house - both from my love of clove cigarettes and my inherent distrust of incense that is at all fruity or annoyingly floral.
