i only get sleepless nights

going to see another one of my all time favorite bands tonight



pete shelley and howard devoto have written more songs that i deeply relate to than probably any other band that ever existed.

i was so tired earlier...

it's just a hunch i have

when you're sad

not sure why i am in a weird funk the last couple of days.i actually like the rainy,gloomy weather.

holding out your heart to people who never really care how you are

since it's national coffee day

why is it so painful?

slowly getting through the first book of my book club

it really doesn't help that the first book chosen is 1200 pages and my mind starts wandering and i get distracted just wondering how the hell i am going to be able to finish reading in time

the godfather of gore has died

one of my favorite directors,herschell gordon lewis, died today. a truly one of a kind legend.

RIP HGL

I know I've made some very poor decisions recently, but I can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal.

despite being a big kubrick fan i'm currently on my first ever viewing of 2001: a space odyssey.

randomly was given the day off today and i slept until 2

and why do i still feel tired??

i understand but i don't see it

it's the first day of fall but it's also 86 degrees here

tonight's the night

and i don't believe in the existence of angels but looking at you i wonder if that's true

it's difficult choosing my favorite nick cave song but this is very high on that list.

heaven knows i'm miserable now

on one hand i am going to see morrissey tonight and i'm really excited!

on the other hand i completely forgot that it's the same night as lush are playing here and i am *incredibly* bummed i won't be there. ughhhhhhh.



i guess at the very least i can take comfort in the fact that i will not have to run into my ex at morrissey

brooklyn's latest bartender extraordiaire and another of today's birthday boys

if you say your favorite bill murray comedy is anything other than what about bob or the man who knew too little you're wrong and need to rewatch them immediately.no matter how low i may be feeling, if i watch either of them my mood is brightened from laughing hysterically for an hour and forty five minutes.try it and see.


i myself actually should start repeating this mantra.

tomorrow will it really come?

happy birthday,you lunkhead!

stephen king's 69th birthday is today,a man whose texts i have spent many,many hours voraciously devouring

the sands of time were falling from your fingers and your thumb

it's so strange to me that this song was my first introduction to leonard cohen as a 14 year old kid watching natural born killers.



it took me a few more years to really get into his class of modern troubadours (see also: tom waits, nick cave, scott walker,etc) but i am certainly glad i did

82 years young

my grandparents used to jokingly refer to me as "little sophia" because they always thought i resembled a young sophia loren.
i should be so lucky!

it could be the almond shaped eyes that we have in common....but our mutual love of pizza is probably a far greater indicator that we are cut from the same cloth

take the easy way and give in

mayyyyybe my favorite solo morrissey song. it came out when i was a freshman in high school so there's definitely a big nostalgia factor to that.

light a cigarette my baby, yeah, light another one for me

i bought this album when it first came out on the sole credential that jarvis cocker was on a track,and it certainly didn't disappoint,especially when it's a jarvis cocker track meshed with a mazzy star track.
isn't it just too dreamy?

what kept you so long?

53 years young today

and jarvis still has the moves

it's national women's friendship day

it's morrissey week

i'm going to see morrissey this week so i might as well post a song each day

string up the billionaires

spent my day catching up on season two of mr. robot(almost caught up),this song seems fitting

happy bday to my true spirit animal

elvira forever

if i had the money to go to a record store i would

when you've been out partying all night and you get home and majorly have the drunken munchies

i can't decide what to wear

alcohol is your yoga baaaaaaaaaby

30 years ago Express was released

this still holds up

a friend of mine reminded me this album existed,i remember playing it when i worked at tower records.it still holds up and it's still great for night time chill out music.

eleven and a half hour day at work

already over 33 hours worked this week and i still have two more days

it can be hard to turn my brain off when i try to go to sleep

i started a book club for horror lit this weekend

probably the best idea i've had in a while

timelord tuesday

i can't stop laughing at david tenant's fake synth playing

50 years later still too busy singin to put anybody down

it's no secret that i have been a huge lifelong fan of the monkees.
i am very thankful that 50 years ago this television show debuted.

i drank more than enough this weekend to drown my feelings

but it hasn't worked

trying to convince myself with alcohol

there is a corresponding side even when there is a lack of correspondence

she's overboard

it's hard to believe that 25 years ago my life changed irreparably by the release of this single

back to the grind again

gonna get no sleep tonight

today would have been frank tovey's birthday. this song reminds me i need to buy a new synthesizer.

living long and prospering

doing some watching on the 50th anniversary of star trek

domo arigato

just finished season one of mr robot. equal parts v for vendetta, fight club and the matrix.
i predicted a few of the twists but it still leaves me wanting more and guessing where it could go-definitely hooked.

i'm not going to say it hasn't left me slightly paranoid about my internet activity...

this moment was certainly relatable. i'm certainly trying...

identical twins

i'm not saying this is exactly the same but.....this is pretty much exactly the same

when i woke up today and you weren't there to play...

basically today

when i housesit for my friends it's like a much needed mini-vacation

disposable darling

i really don't know why i had never listened to the second roxy music album til somewhat recently.

here's another standout track.



the strong is straight up sinister. almost this strange combo of 70s heavy stoner rock meets goth opera. dig.

the season was gone in a flash

i'm housesitting for the weekend

this will be me but with different music

how can i deny what's inside?

the theme of life lately

oh and it's keanu's birthday

pizza for lunch

my pizza is delicious

but i don't know, my dreams are visions we could still end up with the great big fishes

time waits for no man

and neither should i.

wide eyed and open mouthed

like devo has a chance encounter with gary numan on the way to see a dancier supergrass

me towards most of my customers for the last two days

are they bussing the weirdos into town?

woke up with this stuck in my head

it kind of matches this gloomy day

a chance find on a chance night

i like it when i fall through the youtube rabbithole and chance upon something i really like.this is a band so right up my alley i am shocked i hadn't chanced upon it until tonight.dark and hypnotic and definitely influenced by a lot of my favorite stuff.

forewarning:
there's not much to this video,yet it's stil creepy so i don't suggest watching it late night in the dark while you're alone and stoned.not that i am right now,because i'm really truly actually not,but i could see it being an issue.
anyway,don't say i didn't warn ya.
