then we'll quietly grow old: the saddest story ever told.

The Holidays mean I must traverse home to Chadds Ford from my beloved Pittsburgh. I love home very much but It makes me sick to think that I will not see my favorite part.

or maybe its just sad realizing that part of my history is no longer relevant.

Regardless, a gorgeous time in that history introduced me to one of my top five favorite bands of all time.

Favorite Sounds; 100.000 Fireflies, Josephine, Saddest Story Ever Told

The Magnetic Fields; Distant Plastic Trees

Happy Birthday to Me.

Today is my 20th Birthday. Being the exceedingly generous soul that I am, I am giving YOU a gift.

This is Tilly and the Wall. 

So much fun, so fabulous. So much Tap Dancing, yes I said Tap Dancing.

I will be listening to this all day because it sounds like a Birthday Party.

Enjoy 

Favorite Sounds: Bad Education, Sing Songs Along, Rainbows in the Dark

Tilly and The Wall; Bottoms of Barrels

Julie Burton

How could I do a tribute to my heros without including this unicorn? Julie Burton is probably the funniest person I know. She is so amazing and talented and loyal. I just really love her laugh. This girl has some great taste in music ta boot! Most of my fondest memories of high school include her; in fact she is one of the greatest factors that contributed to me making it through those ridiculous days. I wish it was july so we could be together playing in her pool.

I can not listen to the song Julia without missing/loving her. Legend has it that her Beatles loving faja named her after this song.

So here's to you Julie Burton. I love your guts.

Favorite Sounds: Julia, I Will, Don't Pass Me By, Blackbird

The Beatles; The White Album Part I

Favorite Sounds: Yer Blues, Cry Baby Cry, Goodnight

The Beatles; The White Album Part II

In trouble with the gods.

Caitlin Olszewski is cute.

This girl always makes me giggle. I love her so much. We met in Art which really just couldn't be more appropriate. She thinks I'm a much better person than I am, but I think thats just because she has a great heart. This Summer Caitlin and I (along with one of my other favorite Up-right walking animals, julia burton) shared one of the best nights of my life. We saw Tilly and the Wall at the Unitarian and it blew my mind. Though I always think of her when I hear that gorgeous tap dancing, my fondest musical memory of this panda has nothing to do with them.

Caitlin gave me a mix and the first track was Don't Call Me Whitney, Bobby. I love the Islands and I love that song and I love her.

Favorite sounds: Volcanos, Don't Call Me Whitney Bobby, Where there's a will theres a Whalebone

Islands; Return to the Sea
