You can't make me dance around,

but your two step makes my chest pound

just lay me down

as you float away into the shimmer lights

Oh baby! I heart The Scissor Sisters and their laser sounds. If you don't feel like dancing when you hear this, there is something wrong with you. 

I met my friends' new baby, Noah Alain today. He is adorable and precious and looks like a Hello! Blythe doll. I also washed down every surface in my bathroom. 3 years of towel fluff + hairspray = disgusting!

i am

hiding from my friends in the bathroom at Thriftown

to write this tune down.

Why? employs a steady amount of Gockenspiel in their music, which makes them TOTALLY AWESOME. 

Props to DVS on this one, as I'm pretty sure he listens to this album everyday, based on his Twitter Feed...

I think her name is Lucy but they all call her loose.
 
Haha, all time fave line from The Beastie Boys.

I look up at the moon
And hope that maybe soon

I'm pretty sure I got this album from sharing iTunes with Cawlin at work, because I don't know much about Mirah

Nobody likes advice, but sometimes it is really good. Here are five noteworthy pieces of advice that I probably didn't listen to or understand, but now refer to on an almost-daily basis:

5. Nothing is ever as good or as bad as it seems. Olivia Joules.

(no joke, I love that list...don't make fun of me)

4. Nursing a broken heart with food will only make you fat - then no one will love you and you'll be more alone than you are now.

(ok I don't really read that advice as-is, it is more a reminder to not go for the band-aid solution)

3. It isn't going to start hurting any less, so you may as well go faster. Dallas Cain.

(wise beyond his years)

2. If the only reason you are still fighting is to prove you are right, then you need to stop. My pappa!

(I didn't understand this for a long time. I get it now)

1. Just commit to the turn and go. Remi Loyer

(a moment on some moguls, but I use this line at least once a day - best seven words anyone has ever said to me)

And I want to lay in the passenger seat of a car
We could drive around all night
We wouldn't have to go too far
Just look at the stars
This night could be ours

This night could be ours...love that line! I listened to this album on repeat for quite a while when it first came out. I was also obsessed with sparkles, so I can't really tell you if that is in good taste or not. Esthero's quirkyness means I will always like what she puts out, but this album will remain my fave of hers for quite a while, I think.

Why am I suddenly thinking of Esthero? Well, I just found out that she co-wrote Kanye's song Love Lockdown. Interesting, in my opinion. I have a strange fascination with Kanye's blog. I love how he is always, "I'm so smart! I'm the greatest! I am le awesome!" but then complains he can't find a decent woman to settle down with. Seriously dude? ...because most of the population can figure out that overly attractive/can't read models don't make for the best life partners. Just my opinion. Best of luck to him though.

I'm weak in the knees for you

Serena Ryder

The girls don't care
That you ache to be free
You see, the girls just want
A sweet melody

Eef Barzelay 

Another line in this song is, "Don't start a revolution, just because you are bored."

That's just plain old, great life advice. For sure.

Thinking of you
There's lightning bolts in my chest
I know you know 
I think our love is the best

Akron/Family does the I'm-a-surfer-in-love song well. My mother would call them eccentric.

Just a F.Y.I.
I'm F.L.Y.
And for those who can't spell I'm a pretty swell guy

The Cool Kids. Bake Sale is a pretty F.L.Y. album. Good times.
