van morrison just finished mumbling through a song on the first late night with jimmy fallon. i didn't understand a word of it. but i still enjoyed every note. that's how i know... [that van is a classic]
Read more...the awesomest (yes, that is a word) part of this song is the fact that there is no one else playing an instrument off camera. the whole sound that you are hearing is all being played at once by this dude. it's called fingerstyle, and i want to learn it.
i know i'm a month late, and you have probably already made a decision on it, but the new fall out boy record is PHENOMENAL.
exhibit a:
...the lyrics speak of grasping special times in our lives and not letting their opportunities slip away...when we are young it is so hard to really understand that...someday today will be a long, long time ago.
and so, i must have listened to this song 100 times today...
Can you feel the room spinning?
Can you feel what's happening?
Walls are caving, colors change.
The red you're wearing turns to grey.
Oceans rise and oceans subside.
The seasons give up and so have I.
Holding you is holding you back from what you could be, what you could have.
Run away, run away before it's too late.
Run away before it's too late.
Run away, run away before it's too late.
Run away before it's too late.
You never what you're gonna find out there.
No, you never know until you look.
pork roll or taylor ham? it depends on what part of jersey you're from. this photo shows the mason-dixon line of the best damn breakfast meat on the planet! (blue denotes taylor ham and red denotes pork roll)
A: a song called taylor ham, egg & cheese. (by ween)
hello
tell me you know
yea you figured me out
something
gave it away
it would be such a beautiful moment
to see the look on your face
to know that
i know that you know now
and baby that's a case of my wishful thinking
you know nothing
well you and i, why
we go carrying on for hours on and
we get along much better than you and your boyfriend
happy new year!!! here's a repost from a couple of days ago... my new years gift to you...
i'm glad that 2008 is almost over, because it's been a really, really long year. i'll spare further details, and just say that i'm glad that i had music to escape to. this album consists of 27 songs that helped me get through the year; some new, some old, some classics, some soon-to-be. in any case, these are the jams that got me through some strange times. many of them you may have heard throughout the year, be it with [your morning coffee] on weekends, or in a listen-up post whenever a song was stuck in my head. this album is my gift to you, i hope you enjoy it.
a few notes on the album- 1) i usually stress myself out when making a mixtape, by trying to put the songs in the perfect order. i didn't this time. i did a bit of shuffling, but for the most part, i let the album make itself. consider it to be organic. 2) i didn't pay much mind to the number of songs that would fit onto a cd, because i put the songs as a playlist on my ipod. if you plan on ripping this to a cd, you're gonna need two. 3) i've already passed some of these songs on to some of you regular-reader types, so i setup the file to download one song at a time, in case you already have some. sorry it'll take you a little longer than it should. and 4) when you click the link below the tracklist, the page has the songs in the same order, except for song #22, because the band's mp3s have chastity belts tighter than a jonas brother and i couldn't change the track name.

...and try to picture the man
to always have an open hand
and see him as a giving tree
see him as matter
matter of fact he's not a beast
oh no not the devil either
always a good deed do-er
and it's laughter that we're making after all
the call of the wild is still an ordination why
in the order of the primates
all our politics are too late
oh my the congregation in my mind
is this assembly singing of gratitude
practicing their loving for you
live high
live mighty
live righteously
taking it easy...
['live high' lyrics via commonpleasure]
can we talk about how i haven't heard this song since high school? thank you thisrecording.
every restaurant you work in leaves a mark on you. sometimes it's just a scrape, sometimes it's a scar, and sometimes it leaves you tattooed - changed forever. your scrapes are probably few. the impact of these kitchens may have hit you hard initially, but in time those marks will fade, along with your memories of these places. what were the dishes we were cooking there? who was that guy i worked pantry with? was there even a chef there? often these places were your stepping stones. these are the places that didn't necessarily inspire you or maybe they did, until you realized that maybe thai/mexican fusion wasn't your thing and you split. but no worries, these places don't remember you either. when you go by for a visit (if they're still in business) you recognize no one. the menu is full of the same stuff you were cooking years ago. the only change is that the floors are a little more worn, and the kitchen is covered in a new layer of grease. the lessons you took away with you seem remedial now; learning what the sanitizer dispenser looks like, what a 6th pan is, and how to brunoise pancetta perfectly, to name a few. you might even leave this place off of your resume.
right about this time last year, i was in the midst of what i thought was something of a quarterlife crisis. i was sure that i had hit rock bottom and that there was nowhere to go but up. now as i sit here, i wonder what my life would be like if what i know now, i knew then.
