Yeasayer - Take away show

It’s a new year
I’m glad to be here
It’s a fresh spring
So let’s sing

Sleigh Bells - Comeback kid

Didn’t think they had a second album in them. Boy, was I wrong

Everybody is asleep… and then there’s me.

Then everyone is awake…and then there’s me.

Daft Korean Kids. Better Faster Stronger.

Syd the Kid of OFWGKTA fame. A really great, really chill mix. 

Tops of 2011

Now that it’s officially over, this is what made 2011 pretty fucking rad

  1. Occupy/Arab Spring - I’d rather the youth stand for (just about) anything then stand for nothing. The defining moments of 2011.
  2. Pitchfork Music Festival - Chalk it up with whatever anti-hipster rhetoric can think of. All my favorite bands, no corporate sponsorship, great food. Also, Chicago in the summer makes the world go round.
  3. Zuma Beach, Malibu/Stone Brewery, Escondito/Santa Monica/Santa Barbara - That Cali trip changed me in a lot of ways. Also, the first time I walked onto Zuma, it felt like a glass of milk after a PB&J.
  4. What it feels like at about 8:00 PM in Austin, Texas. Hard to explain, but people just come outside. They’re just so happy it’s not hot anymore. New friends are made and I get hightop fades from strangers.
  5. A cocktail and a burger from Longman and Eagle, in Logan Square Chicago. Those bartenders are downright alchemists.
  6. Big Boi at the Ogden - I’ve never had so much fun at a concert.
  7. Hiking 3 different 14ers in one day. Dunno if I’ll never do it again, but I’m so thankful I can say I did.
  8. Kickball in the summer - Makes you feel like you’re 9 again.
  9. The MoMA - Just because.
  10. Palo Alto - Makes you feel like the dumbest person in city limits, and that’s ok.
  11. Pretty much anything by The Weeknd
  12. Also, these songs (must have spotify).

Miami Horror - Don’t be on her

Came across this little gem from a few years ago and had to share (to myself, because nobody reads this)

Elite Gymnastics - Omamori.

Track of the year?

Azealia Banks - Licorice.

Helloooooo 2012.

Favorite Lyrics of 2011

These rap dads is on some fashion scene shit.
Skip that shit that I spit to talk about how my jeans fit

Das Racist - Michael Jackson

Free to chain my will onto the wings of my instinct. And wander ‘round this box I’m inextricably linked

Shabazz Palaces - Free Press and Curl

I’ve been messed up by things I’ve screwed up, I’ve given too much of not enough

CANT- Believe

Go on, suck it up, but hurry; I’ve got nuts to bust, and butts to f*ck, and up to chuck, and sluts to f*cking uppercut. It’s OF, buttercup. Go ahead, fuck with us. Without a doubt, a sure-fired way to get your mother f*cked

Earl - Earl

Drill little holes into my eyelids, then I might see you when I sleep.

Purity Ring - Belispeak
