Date a girl who doesn’t read. Find her in the weary squalor of a Midwestern bar. Find her in the smoke, drunken sweat, and varicolored light of an upscale nightclub. Wherever you find her, find her smiling. Make sure that it lingers when the people that are talking to her look away. Engage her…
better than e-cards, maybe. oh my senior loves! :’( don’t leave!
Tyler T. Williams - who is also responsible for the video for Montana - directed this cinematic video for Youth Lagoon’s July. Don’t you just love it when two very talented people make magic together? Youth Lagoon’s The Year of Hibernation is my favorite album of 2011, Tyler T. Williams’ video for Montana is one of my favorite videos of 2011. Needless to say this is another piece of art - it fits the atmosphere of the song perfectly. Do the video justice and watch it in HD.
The National are joined by Bon Iver for an acoustic version of Vanderlyle Crybaby Geeks on Q. Needless to say this is amazing. The National brought two new songs to the Q-scene as well (Rylan and I Need My Girl), which you can stream here.
update You can now watch The National perform these two new songs on Q below.
i’m inspired to write, but just merely that.
write, but not well, write, but not profoundly. just write.
why do i love to write?
i love to be heard. i love that words demand attention.i love when words shape speech and thought, the elegant script and haphazard scrawl that perfectly captures insufficient audible voice.
the voice is lovely because it is sad and truthful and carries across different spheres like a reverse echo. it gets stronger as it travels further away from its source.
the beginning is shy, the end is brave.
disappointments and furtive wishes start out foolish but become full, when actualized with double mirrors and difficult tailoring.
now i am just choosing which thoughts become words and which become dreams to be forgotten.
what do i have to say that is important?
the thoughts scream everything, everything is important because i am important.
the words delicately choose which flowers go in the vase, and which stay in the ground.
i hope that all words read are important.
there is so much more that i have.
they will happen later, i hope.
