not sure if it's what the artist intended with this piece (tried to find info on the piece and artist to no avail) but i immediately thought of the vashta nerada episode.
just learned about this band via a flavorwire article this morning.totally loving this.really suprised i hadn't heard of this band sooner.
gothy garagey blues rock mixing elements of the cramps,the birthday party,the misfits, jon spencer blues explosion with maybe even some sisters of mercy and queens of the stoneage thrown in.
considering the interview with kim gordon this week i wanted to post a picture of much happier times.cause who knows if we'll ever get to see them playing back to back ever again...
was just watching some parks and rec and was reminded of how much i love ron swanson (as usual)and i happened to come across this post which kind of coincided with the swanson quote that happens to be the title of this post.
at least once in my life i would like someone to put on the flamingos "i only have eyes for you" and ask me to slow dance*. or throw it on a mixtape for me.i really don't know if i can possibly think of a more perfect,more romantic song.it pretty much literally makes me swoon.
i just found this version recorded by beck and as usual he nails it.
mercury rev also did a pretty great cover of it years ago that i had downloaded on an old computer but haven't really been able to find again since.
my grandfather's favorite person ever was peggy lee so i think i'm naturally inclined to like her version through dna alone.while it's still beautiful there's something about her rendition that sounds slightly bittersweet,sad and heartbreaking.
*fun fact: i've only slow danced twice in my entire life
the above is not from me,just something i appreciated on the internet today and the inspiration for me to actually send someone a star wars sext earlier tonight.i also sent a picture of myself in just my darth vader mask and underwear.if that does not get me laid or make me girlfriend material then nothing will.
