Fort Frances covers Simon & Garfunkel’s “The Only Living Boy in New York.”
It’s weird, I really couldn’t tell the difference until probably the middle. I love this song…think I’ve posted it in the past. It really is a lovely song and a great cover.

RUNAWAY - YEAH YEAH YEAHS
I have only slept about about 3 hours in the past 2 days. It’s been fun, but my body and my psyche has taken a serious hit. It’s Blitz! was a great album and is getting me through this “short” day. This is a really cool video too…
Menomena’s “Weird”
Every so often I come back to “Friend and Foe”. It’s still a really good album.
The Beatles’ “Here, There and Everywhere”
I am pretty superstitious and I totally believe in jinxes, but I’ll say it (type it) anyway. Today is going pretty well.
Yes, I am at work, in an office and incredibly busy. But, it’s pretty outside and the Beatles exist.
Annie Clark interview and St Vincent performs “KROKODIL”
I spend my day to day regretting the things I should have done. I’ll be damned if I’m not pissed about missing Crossing Brooklyn Ferry.
The Dessners have a small cameo in this video (swoooon).

Nirvana playing “Something In the way” (Unplugged)
I just happened upon this after a co-worker (former friend….he knows what he did) sent me a link for “Mmmmm Mmmmm Mmmmmm” (not Nirvana).
I always like seeing live stuff with Nirvana.
I just started watching “Parks and Recreation” on Netflix.
Initially, it was all for Adam Scott and that beautiful face. He was a big draw for me and definitely does not disappoint. But seriously, the character Ron Swanson is amazing. He is the coolest thing that has ever been created and I love him dearly. Is that an exaggeration? Absolutely not! There must be more people out there like me, right?
Oh yeah, how about that hair?! EPIC!
Oh yeah, Parks & Recreation is a really funny show. I’m always the last one to know.
A repost of a classic in honor of the 61% of North Carolinians who should be ashamed of themselves.
I am pretty smart. It’s one of the things I am most proud of. I’m well read, well adjusted, great deductive skills and most importantly I have common sense. One of my favourite quotes goes something like “But common sense is an acquired trait”, which I totally agree with and therefore I consider myself quite awesome.
But I have been thinking that maybe my common sense or “great deductive skills” have made me hard. I don’t trust easily, I don’t care willingly and I am always perplexed when I figure out that I love someone. These are not things that should be questioned, they aren’t usually. Putting myself out there and actually getting to know someone versus faking it is incredibly hard for me. I like it better when I pretend to care, when I keep most parts of me, even the most inconsequential things, to myself.
The question I have now is: What do I gain? Because I definitely think I maybe losing out on something…
