It's Decorative Gourd Season, Motherfuckers →
“I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait to get my hands on some fucking gourds and arrange them in a horn-shaped basket on my dining room table. That shit is going to look so seasonal. I’m about to head up to the attic right now to find that wicker fucker, dust it off, and jam it with an insanely ornate assortment of shellacked vegetables. When my guests come over it’s gonna be...

Japandroids - Fire's Highway (Via Sterogum) →
As I mentioned last time they came up with a new song, Japandroids are the shit. This song is as promising as the previously released “Adrenaline Nightshift” and has me really really excited for whenever they decide to release a new full length. Hopefully soon.

R.E.M.'s Greatest Hits: A Tribute Playlist
So R.E.M. called it quits a few days ago. I’m saddened by this because it means I’ll never get to see them live, but it allows me a convenient excuse to revisit their whole catalog. So here, for all of you who may not be huge R.E.M. fans or for people who are just looking for a great collection of songs, is an R.E.M. “greatest hits” playlist. Because really, almost all of...

The Tom Hanks Challenge
Here’s a challenge (Full Disclosure, this is adapted from something Bill Simmons did with Grantland for his final summer mailbag). Pick three Tom Hanks films. Probably the ones you would consider to be your favorites. And list them in order. You cannot use Forrest Gump. What would your list look like?
conorkelch asked: Why do you try so hard to start arguments with pretty much everyone? Haha

A Short List of Songs Ruined for Me By Women
This is actually a rather long list. It is all songs that I have inextricably linked to women who were/are important in my life. People I date, people I had crushes on etc. These are the songs that remind me of them and that have been ruined forever by them. These are in a roughly chronological order.
Found Out About You - Gin Blossoms
Think I’m In Love - Eddie Money

MarkymarkJones: The Death of Common Sense →
darkphones:
“Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:-Knowing…
I’ll be damned if this isn’t the most accurate rendering of contemporary...

In Defense of Thin Lizzy
Many people write Thin Lizzy off as just another 70’s guitar band of Zeppelin copy cats who weren’t as good as the group they sought to imitate. Those who make this assumption are dead wrong however, and are truly missing out on some fantastic music.
For starters, Thin Lizzy are Irish. And their lead singer and principle songwriter was a black irishman. This in and of itself is...

emmaspringsteen:
April come she will When streams are ripe and swelled with rain; May, she will stay, Resting in my arms again
June, she´ll change her tune, In restless walks she´ll prowl the night; July, she will fly And give no warning to her flight. August, die she must, The autumn winds blow chilly and cold; September I´ll remember. A love once new has now grown old.
it’s been a very introspective day. Asking a lot of questions about myself and the choices I make and the things I’ve done. I can’t decide if it’s been productive or not. It’s made me sad though. So there’s that.
