The Kinks, Powerman
after years of loving this song I finally caved and bought the album it’s from, most of which turns out to be just as good if not better than this song. Best ten dollars I’ve spent in a long, long time.
“En Gallop” - Joanna Newsom
Never get so attached to a poem
You forget truth that lacks lyricism
The National - Exile Vilify
Finding the secret room with this song playing was the best part of Portal 2. Lovely.
It feels like I haven’t had time to just chill out and listen to several albums’ worth of music in ages. This is nice.
I hate it when you plan your entire life around receiving your paycheck on a certain day, and then they decide to not pay you for another week.
I also hate when you’ve waited that extra week and then they decide that they’re just not in the mood to open the payroll office today, so you’ll have to wait until after the weekend when you’re too busy to actually go to the bank.
This will have been three weeks I’ve gone without getting paid (in addition to the usual two). The ice is getting thinner.
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Antennas to Heaven
The other most powerful piece of music ever recorded. You know, along with literally every other song in Godspeed’s discography.
Under the bridge - Red Hot Chili Peppers
start together - sleater-kinney
I have to write an essay tonight about the purpose of an abstract in a technical document. It’s not difficult, aside from the fact that I need to find a way to stretch a one-sentence answer into a two-page paper. Eurgh.
