Stay Hungry

Friends, I would invite you this morning to press play on this Talking Heads concert from 1980 and then just sit back in awe.

I usually find concert footage to be super boring, but everything about this performance is amazing. Just take an hour of your life to sit here and watch it or, if you can't do that then just listen to it in the background while you eat lunch or whatever. Either way, you will be rewarded.

OK, back to the coal mines for me!

Happy Birthday Harry!

Happy 71st birthday to my dad, who was pretty much the coolest, as evidenced by this video:

I miss you!

          (Also, I remember watching this as a kid and having NO IDEA how they did it. 

           Actually I still don't fully understand. Magic!)

Love is a Battlefield AKA The Greatest Story Ever Told

Remember when we were young and we had that big fight with our parents and they were all “if you leave this house now etc” and so we waved goodbye to our kid brother through the window and took a bus from our small town to The City? Remember the men in the city? Their muscles when they bumped into us? Our father was a butcher or something, maybe a grocer? He wore an apron. Our mother worried. We wrote home sometimes, not to them, but to Billy. We made up stories about The City and had him promise to stay in school. Billy was a good kid. We didn't want him to end up like us. We wrapped ourselves in rags and dishtowels and found work as dime-a-dance girls in a place with low lights and a seedy boss who stared at us over the glint of his gold front tooth. We were tired all the time. We were barely making it. We draped over each other in heaps. The boss was taking deep cuts. He was taking liberties. We were sick of dancing his way. We took a stand...

Heartache to heartache, amirite?

Pretty Much The Coolest Stop Motion Post-it Note Music Video You'll Ever See

Justin Webb and friends made this. It took four months and 25,000 post-it notes. It is amazing.

Check out his awesome band The Family Bones, and tell 'em I sent you.

T-Boz, Left Eye, Chilli

Can we all just stop what we're doing for a few minutes and watch these TLC videos one after the other?

There. Don't you feel, I dunno, invigorated?

Seasonal Affective Disorder who, amirite?

P.S. Did you know that there is a website called amirite.net where you go to say things and have other people vote on whether or not you are "right"? I just love you, the internet.

The Caravelles

You know when they say someone has a voice like a silver bell?

They are talking about these ladies.

(Also, listen to the lyrics of this song, they're pretty intense! Joan Baez has a great version as well.)
