[soundtrack to life : NPR discussing Jenny Lewis' "Rabbit Fur Coat" ]


So Everyone and their mother won't stop talking about Jenny Lewis, it's almost as bad as when Rilo Kiley hit its stride with the pop culture. Not that I am not guilty of such, but I guess I thought I would have to compensate for Jenny's sake. Apparently I was wrong, especially because NPR is doing most of the work for me. NPR has a deep love for things that I love, Jenny Lewis, Sufjan Stevens, David Sedaris and old jewish women calling in to complain about politics. Here I am sitting in a mostly dark room listening to some woman dissect Rabbit Fur Coat on the radio and my thoughts go to how the semester, although it has just started, may as well be over. There is still so much more ground to cover in the coming months, but we will not have a break until mid april but as soon as the Shakespeare Festival commences it will really be mid-terms and they are going to open in two weeks. So I am here thinking about how I needed a new computer but I really don't need this computer after the semester is over, but I certainly cannot use William's computer mainly because of the amounts of personal time we each spend using our little macs and also the amounts of personal material on each. But I guess it isn't in excess because I know people who have two computers and they have a laptop simply for the portability. I will begin classes at the Upright Citizen's Brigade Theatre on March 22, fulfilling another one of my highschool dreams. Once I realized the show that I really felt and still feel at times, was the only one who understood it had a theatre where I could study the art that causes such results as the show that was on television, I knew what I had to do. It has been a slight struggle to get myself in the door there, meaning monetary and time conflicts, but I decided the next big purchase I needed to make was one that would not only further my career, but also give me a fricking chance to act this semester.

In other news I need to give my two cents on Wolf Parade, Issac Brock's newest project. I say project in the sense that he produced it, not that he even guests on a track. I think after listening to it a few times that it has the sound of Beck and the Strokes getting together and using simple Mouse-esque dissonance. The tracks are good and based on each one you can hear either Beck or Julian wailing about something abstract. Check it out!

love and lousy poetry
"Rely a bit to heavily on alcohol and irony. Get clobbered
on by courtesy, in love with love, and lousy poetry.
And I'm leaning on a broken fence between Past and
Present tense. And I'm losing all these stupid games
that I swore I'd never play. And it almost feels okay
