soft hearts

i'm really into this song today. i like to close my eyes and fantasize that i am slow dancing to this with a face-less dreamboat and then we get MARRIED.

Le Tigre's Deceptacon...

i wouldn't be able to live without this song, or this video.

bringing it back...

sometimes you have to re-visit old favorites in order to remember how awesome and moving music can be, and i am re-visiting this awesomeness HARD today...

sleepin'

a good song to lull myself to sleep to tonight....

one of the ultimate jam bands

I first heard this song when i was 19 and living in Gilchrist Hall at Florida State. Someone sent it to me on a cassette mix and it blew my mind. At the time, i just thought it was cool song about love and stuff, but by age 22/23, i had moved to los angeles, where my scene turned all weird: all i wanted to do was lay back, chill out and listen to some tite jams like this one. there were plenty of lost, sunny afternoons. i went bra-less a lot and wore tom's of Maine patchouli scented deodorant. man, i even considered growing some gnarly dreads. good thing i'm a bigger asshole than all of that and swiftly moved into a funk/garage band phase around 24/25, leaving my tragus piercing in the dust. This song still stands tho. It's tite, and gives me good vibes. i also still have a crush on ginger headed dudes.

bitchin' and moanin' and sassin'

what do i have to bitch about? but still...

i wanna have peace in my heart, man.

Am I total hippie for loving this song? Yeah.

Dreamz

This song used to make me think of SEX when I was 7, when I didn't even know what sex was.   But I did know that I totally was going to have Michele Pffeifer's figure when I grew up.  At 31, I have neither SEX or Michele Pffeifer's figure.  I wish I could time travel back to 1983 and make out with Maxwell Caulfield.  Look at that sweater!  That clean cut baby face!

Pumping up the Jam

For some reason, last week, I thought it was a good idea to put this song on my "work out" mix. Nothing says working out like creepy Donald Sutherland, bad wigs and heartbreak.

He tells it like it is...

If I ever have a boyfriend, and we break up...this is what I want playing in the background during our break-up drama.

Nice girls don't!

Please excuse my repressed anger.

Boo!

Did I scare you?  I bet I did.
