power pop



found this gem from an interview i read
such a sucker for this sort of thing even with the not-even-trying synch
and check out that young dreamboat on the bass...

Where is that confounded edge?

Happy August everyone. Done with my summer job, so I can get back to the good things in life, i.e. the ways we get by. Hope this blog continues to crawl slowly into the future.

summer jamz cont'd

also rich girls by the virgins has got a groovy thang going on. can you ever say groovy thang without spelling thang with an a? i think not.

i've been meaning to check out fleet foxes thanks to my kcrw's today's top tune podcast. this podcast led me to heart it races by dr. dog which started a whole dr. dog thing (which I must credit my sister for as well).

as for other things i've been up to this summer:

reads:
*prep by curtis sittenfeld
*the other boleyn girl (movie and book. the latter was described as "book candy" by my sister which is exactly what it is. the movie has a lot of brooding bana and is generally no good)
into thin air
ghost soldiers (non-fiction about a rescue op from a war prisoner camp in the Philippines during WWII)
the sun also rises (read while in Spain for atmosphere)
great expectations
*in cold blood
no one belongs here more than you - miranda july's short stories
*revolutionary road by richard yates
and I'm currently continuing my krakauer streak with under the banner of heaven and then tempering that with some austen, sense and sensibility

the stars were my favorites

movies:
i'm not there - i'm obsessed with this movie
persepolis
teeth - so graphic
inside man
iron man


and now i'm going to watch the terminator for the first time ever
