sometimes it's hard just to find some peace of mind it feels like i'm going crazy almost all of the time

when i was 20 this was one of my absolute favorite songs.
it's been a long while since i've listened to it. the good news is, it's still great.
i feel like the side project supergroup electronic often gets overlooked but in fact they were really,really solid.

night music

i'm genuinely pretty stoked for this album to come out in september

keep those dreams burnin forever

RIP alan vega

been into the band suicide since i was a teenager.i'm not sure what prompted it but i've listened to the first album a LOT this year especially




a few of my favorite suicide covers




















and here's a series of really great,fairly candid interviews with the man himself




























and just because this was my favorite part of "open windows" (so much so that i squealed out loud and rewound the part to rewatch a few times) and i because i share the sentiment so deeply

and to think he would have been 60 today

i wonder what ian curtis would think of all the bands he went on to influence.
i think he'd mostly be bored by them.i know i often am.

nonetheless, this is my favorite joy division/warsaw song.

happy 90th,harry

harry dean stanton turns 90 today.
the man is a legend and one of my favorite actors.


if you've never seen the documentary about him i highly,highly recommend it

since it's bastille day and all...

...might as well listen to french pop...
(i'll use any excuse for serge really)

little hand says it's time to rock and roll

it's the 25th anniversary of one of my all time favorite movies.there is,was and ever will be only one johnny utah in my heart.


even still,this is a question i should probably be asking these days...

r.i.p. the american dream

very disappointed that bernie called it quits today and endorsed hillary.
it was the first time in my life i truly and completely believed in a candidate.
i think we actually had a real chance at change....sigh

there's nobody in here but us monsters


some thoughts i had while watching the original 1958 classic "the blob" for the first time:

1. apparently calling someone an "old-timer" to their face wasn't construed that much of an insult back then
2.drag racing:a 1950s dick measuring competition and form of intimidation for young men
3.the only thing they use the jail for is vagrants-these kids are lucky they live in a town in a time where vagrancy is the biggest threat
4. the film was written by a woman. i bet it was inspired by getting her period. (yes i went there,come on,the metaphors are so obvious-for starters, it looks like a giant mobile blood clot)
5. i would still really like to go to the blobfest at the colonial theater one of these days
6. and my foremost thought while viewing this: despite the fact that steve mcqueen is supposed to be playing a college aged guy, he still looks like he's in his late 40s
