peace out cupcake

this album is pretty intense

i am generally not a fan of silly pet outfits

or ewoks, for that matter

but holy smokes

cave story

broken down

got me.

i think i made the wrong decision

jet lag

so funky waaaaugh

northern star

huh? what?

audrey hepburn whoaaaaaohhh

single

any day now

oh wow, that's what biggie was talking about

can't seem to find traction

all out of tune

babylonian astrology by way of canada through weirdo sci-fi hip-hop

mornings

i can't stop watching this video

with your headphones on

been wearing this album out lately. madlib is so good.

the fields and the clouds and my geo

steve told me about jacob borshard a couple of years ago, and then he disappeared mysteriously from my itunes library. i was really happy to find him on youtube singin' melancholy pop songs about the van Gogh brothers and showin' how Kamakas are made.

how do i make a picture that looks like this sounds

nap

i'm just sayin'

taking an accidental two-hour nap at 9 PM by is not a good way to fight jet lag

being a photographer for vice magazine means your job is to take pictures of hipster ladies' butts

man

oh my god

i ain't the cat y'all saw yesterday

a feather and a lottery ticket

i feel like aseop rock is a really good hip-hop artist for people who don't like hip-hop, and also for people who do like hip-hop.

this is so amazing to me. i never would have imagined

oh lord i wanna play this right now

INSTANT MANCRUSH

car: "i should keep a journal. something private and honest to remember days better. in five years, i'll be glad to have it."
house: "oh, funny cat videos."

oh bedtime

i don't even know what fecundity means

i got a question for you

it's almost a comfort to know that i will never look even half this cool, so there's no point trying. the chord change behind "oh yeah" is one of my favorite things in the whole entire world.

soothe me baby

this is amazing

i miss my friends in michigan

so was i

this song always reminds me of playing monster rancher when i was 11. i wonder if all the afternoons i spent loading CDs into my playstation in search of creatures led me to my terrible habit of mystery picks at used music stories.

i have no idea why "michelle" makes me think of that game. i have no idea why i was even thinking of "michelle". i have no idea why the beatles chose to end rubber soul with "run for your life" when they had the option to use "in my life", but who am i to tell them what to do?

draft

there are things that hurt to look at
like the sun, or a baby, or a pretty girl kissing somebody else
there are songs that we don’t listen to
because we know that they are true
and we think that we are the only people in the world they were written for
when a skinny English boy sings into your chest and his words come leaking out your eyes
you want to wrap those words up in a blanket
and put them in a shoebox
when it gets dark, you can lift the lid and look in on them fondly
i found a song and i put it on loop
i’m hoping that if i listen to it enough times it will become familiar to me
like a hospital blanket
thin and scratchy
and i’ll stop feeling it
but i know how pretty things work
and i know it never happens

you turkeyneck

you know, i had heard The Cramps' recording of this, but i had never ever in my life imagined that it was a cover. wow.

i think typography is a lot like math

it can be easier, faster, and better-looking when you use a computer, but if you do it by hand, you learn more, and if you do it enough times manually, you become better at it across all mediums

also because they both make me totally crazy when i can't get them right

which is most of the time

coolin'

hey hey hey

poor old johnnie ray

this person's youtube channel has a lot of really cool 1950s/1960s rock & roll. there's the cool mainstream stuff like johnnie ray and eddie cochran, but then there are also things like peruvian rockers los zodiac, a french-canadian version of "in the still of the night"(?!), and of course the magic of los teen tops. it's like the united nations if the united nations were a swingin' soda fountain in 1964.

i feel like the production values for this video are a lot higher than they need to be, in a good way. where did that crane shot come from?

i'm an alligator

i'm a mama papa comin' for you



i have no idea what he means by that, but when i hear him sing it, i'm like, "yeah, alright!"

i like heavy metal typography a lot more than heavy metal music but i think they complement each other pretty well.

most of the time i don't really know what i'm talking about.
