what up, LJ friends! I'm still here, in Austin, still jobless, but pumping out words like mad. and absorbing pop culture like I never have before. I keep on meaning to actually write about things in here, but you know how it goes. I'm leaving for Florida in a day or so to help Lisa drive there and spend some time in Orlando. It's 60 degrees there right now; 80 in San Antonio. So until I come back to life on the Internet, here are some music videos I'm loving on. You should too.
I've never been a huge fan of Animal Collective, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Panda Bear solo album of a couple years back, and the new Collective stuff is totally aces. I'm more into Merriweather Post Pavilion than is healthy I'm sure. Video is for My Girls which is the instant hit of the album. It's pretty typical, but the song in and of itself will change your life. I'm totally on board for whatever these kids are doing. Ever.

Antony Hegarty is also amazing, as well all know. The new Antony & the Johnsons album is about as good as I Am a Bird Now, but you've GOT to check out the video for Epilepsy Is Dancing-- inspiration for your next Creature Party, if nothing else. Antony sings "I cry glitter" and butterflies trip out of his mouth. It's... SO good.

We shall soon have dialogues about LOST and many other such wonderful things. And I'll tell you about Austin and Florida and my hermetic ambitions. I love you all, as always.
