God Only Know What I be Without you

My mother is the fucking coolest person alive. For a more detailed story of why please refer back to my second post.
                                                           (I'm not usually that orange.)


Tomorrow is her 54th Birthday. She is so rad and hip and young and beautiful and I can not wait to hug her this weekend. As you may or may not know, the only reason I know shit about shit is thanks to her. She has such a great mind and is so into music and literature and all the beautiful things in life. Two of our favorite songs of all time are on this Album. As I said earlier, Blackbird was my lullaby but as I grew up momma and I started to adopt God only Knows as the anthem of our friendship. I owe everything to this woman and I can imagine loving any person more. My heart is exploding just thinking about how amazing she is.

This is one of her Favorite bands/albums ever. Happy Birthday Mommy. I love you.
Tomorrow, you will get an even better Denise Grier Tribute.
Favorite Sounds- God Only Knows, Wouldn't it be Nice, Here Today

its better to be alive than rich!



Its not surprise what sounds I enjoy: circusy, bright, lots of xylophones and clapping. If you have ever met me it is also no surprise that I LOVE the Magnetic Fields. 

Due to the fact that this band makes me want to clap and stomp and dance and reminds me in an uncanny way of The Magnetic Fields, I really dig um! I present you "Suburban Kids with Biblical Names"

So. Much. Fun. What could be better than a Sweedish Twee pop band?! I can only think of a few things.

This album is from '05 and from what I hear there is an EP due in 09?!
At any rate, enjoy please. This is a great album.

Favorite Sounds:A Couple of Instruments,  Peter's Dr

going to hell, you're riding shotgun.




reason 109,349,823,057,498,572,037 why Philadelphia rules the world.

This is my obsession. I love music that sounds like a Circus--the boarder line creepy eastern european gypsy beat. I can't get enough.  If you hang out with me or ever have late at night you already know how much I love this band. Enjoy.


I love: Mister Jung Stuffed, Poor Jackie, Big Trouble, The Ballad of Butter Beans


I love:Engrish Bwudd, Spider Cider, Black Mission Goggles
