i want to be a coachella SO FREAKING bad. i'm ill over it.
Untitled January 15, 2009
i am so overwhelmed lately (or is it actually underwhelmed? something to think about…..) i feel less capable of dealing with people than i have in probably two months. sorry if that sounds mean. i know the weather has something to do with this. i hope it does anyway. i feel at a distance from everything all at once. it's probably too early in the AM to be fixating on this..
half assed year end list January 4, 2009
albums i dug enough to talk about at the end of the year:
- okkervil river, the stand ins.
not as much play as the stage names, but still. solid
- wolf parade, at mount zoomer.
i listen to this a lot. i mean a ton. since july it hasn't' left heavy rotation.
- kings of leon, only by the night.
dont' know if i'll be insane about this in say six months, but timing is everything.
- mgmt, oracular spectacular
was just going to put electric feel in the singles catagory but then upon reflection, i do really like this entire album. the handshake? yeah, i'd listen to that repeatedly.
singles i dig enough to write out, no matter what embarrassment i may feel
- the felice brothers, frankie's gun!!
randomly heard on the radio here, can't stop thinking about it sometimes.
- ben folds/ regina spektor, you don't know me.
heart breaking, but totally amazing.
- oasis, i'm outta time.
yes. i liked an oasis song in 2008. somewhere someone is freaking out over this moment and this admission.
- T.I., whatever you like.
i can't describe my love for this song. it's so good in a weird way. it involves all my wishes, like someone letting me buy an expensive bag.
- bon iver, skinny love
heartbreaking, again. some beautiful. all together.
- donora, shhh
so sweet it makes me sick.
- conor oberst, lenders of the temple.
some of the best quotes i have heard this year…… if i miss you, well, that's my fault. how true, how true.
