relating more to stacy than spicoli lately

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.

the fear of a trump presidency is all too real

night music

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

there will be a time we are only one

your afternoon moment of zen

it's been a busy last few days,i need an hour of serious relaxation

soooooo groggy

more or less

their hopes are rising while their chances are falling

the beach this weekend is a necessity

i think this is the message the politicians are sending our country lately

they don't care about us

nothing to say, no way to say it

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

only on the second episode and i already love this show

seriously loving this show already,plans for the rest of the day are now cancelled.

80s horror sci-fi homage? check.
winona ryder? check.
cool older sibling? check.

we'll all be plannin out a route we're gonna take real soon

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.

you see yourself three years ago,you see yourself you're different now

this scene breaks my heart

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

gentlemen, beware

monday mornings on the bus

ughhhh

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

segregation, determination, demonstration, integration, aggravation, humiliation, devastation of our nation

and the beat goes on...sadly,this is as relevant today as when the song was first written.

i wish the world could just take these words to heart

i'm melting in the sun waiting for this trolley to come along

but the seasons change and i'm alone

and thus a vicious cycle continues

i stayed at home on the fourth of july and i pulled the shades so i didn't have to see the sky

and i decided to have a bed-in but i forgot to invite anybody

perfecting my flag dance

in reality, little edie is a good reminder to clean my room

sometimes i get disappointed that i'm not invited out to social events but then i remember...

i ain't in no mood to die tonight

it's all in the reflexes

today is the 30th anniversary of big trouble in little china,one of my all time absolute favorite movies.

they really just don't make em like good ol jack burton anymore.

...if i do say so myself
