For those that are interested, NPR is streaming Wake Up!, the new album by John Legend and the Roots. Trust me, you're going to want to hear this. It's amazing ( Read more... )

I never got a chance to watch The Lover when it first came out because I was way too young, but MPIX has been playing it all month so I finally got a chance to watch it. And. um. at least Jane March and Tony Leung are incredibly gorgeous? It was an okay movie, nothing that gripped me, and while the scenery and love scenes were beautiful and erotic ( Read more... )

It was going to be a joyful post ( Read more... )

I didn't realize how much I needed Waylon Jennings singing Luckenbach, Texas (Back To The Basics of Love) in my ear until Friday came and went without me going into a psychotic rage over little things that seemed designed specifically to piss me off. Oh, Waylon, you do so much to make everything better ( Read more... )

Today started with a pot of spilled coffee all over the kitchen counter, moved onto endless fucking rain while I took the bus to work, continued with my sneakers being soaked through to my socks because of the aforementioned rain, and ended with a bus ride home in more fucking rain. It wasn't anything big and awful, but a series of minor annoyances ( Read more... )

I think from now on, I'm gonna let my brother pick all my music for me. He's got a knack for finding bands that make me deliriously happy just by existing.

I want all their albums now. I don't know how I've lived without this band for so long ( Read more... )
