4 for Friday

So this is a little thing I'm going to start doing cause I've always wanted to have some sort of music feature for this blog but I didn't really know what. So on Fridays I'm just gonna hit shuffle on iTunes and post the first four songs that come up. Woohoo.

1. Jens Lekman - Run Away With Me This is one of my favorite Jens songs. I'm going to see him in a couple of weeks. I'll make sure to try to propose to him. Again.
2. Ryan Adams & The Cardinals - Sink Ships This is one of those Ryan Adams songs (much like Cherry Lane or Meadowlake Street on Cold Roses) that starts out fairly standard and mediocre and then switches it up at the end and becomes just sort of amazing and transcendent. I can't really describe it any better than that, but he's really fucking good at doing it.
3. Bonnie "Prince" Billy - You Remind Me of Something (The Glory Goes) A good Bonnie song. Very nice to sing along with.
4. Einstürzende Neubauten - Good Morning Everybody And now for something completely different...German experimental noise music. I like Blixa. He's tied with Warren for title of my favorite Bad Seed.

So hopefully I'll keep my motivation and continue doing this. I will confess that I did skip posting the real third song that played because it was a 17 minute long spoken word type thing by Coil. Should I have gone ahead and posted that? I have a lot of weird shit like that that will probably pop up from time to time in doing this so I guess I should figure out if everything is fair game or if I'm going to keep it strictly "Music music".

Overheard on the N last night

Guy talking to his friend on the phone: "He was like "You look like a fucking hipster" and I was all "I will stab you"."

(He was discussing how he got sucker-punched by some "Don Johnson looking motherfucker" and a few minutes prior had asked Robbie if his face was all red or if he was bleeding.)

I saw Iron & Wine for free!

In fact it was the second time I've seen him for free (last year's Hardly Strictly being the other) but this was so much better because it was a very small secret show at a tiny record store and my friends and I were in the very front sitting at his feet. So amazing. Plus it happened the day after my birthday.
Here is a little video I took of Naked as We Came with my shitty digital camera:


There are pictures here.

Yesterday didn't happen.

Yesterday was a waste of a birthday, so I've decided it didn't happen. I'm still 27. Ha.

Birthday Part One

So far the day has been uneventful. I went out for breakfast and had a mango mimosa. It was bomb. The weather has not been cooperating so I've just been hiding out inside, drinking rum and doing nothing. Garrett wrote me the best birthday email though. I miss my SD peeps. I will update later with more.
