Good times never seemed so good

Soda Fountain Dress in Ginger - Modcloth

I'm in love! Retro and radiant. I really like how the sash tie creates a sort of fitted bodice effect with the waist.

Tomorrow if a golden train came to take you away
would you go, or would you stay?






Matt Doyle at Joe's Pub 8/17/09: Blake Daniel and Matt Doyle - Golden Train


Duet cover of the song by Justin Nozuka. A highlight from an all around lovely evening. (Gotta love having such a sharp, clear video, too.)

Especially when I'm not with you

Vampire Weekend - Bryn

O, Bryn
You see through the dark
right past the fireflies
that sleep in my heart

You
know it's easy to see -
wait for the season
to come back to me

Moriarty - Jaywalker

Back from where the crowd rains cold
She's letting down the burden
Never doing what she's told
Living another Walden

Back to where the cats are kings
She knows it by the letter
All those nights and all those mornings
Running it down and
Under

There she goes, polkadot dress
Barefoot on the cobblestones
Where is she at, let's take a guess
Jaywalking in the streets of Rome

She's like a hotline
You can call whether rain or shine
When it looks like nothing is bright
A few words with her and you'll be allright

She is your chatter box
Writes you real letters
Oh roman goldilocks
She's some upsetter

There she goes, tropical cyclone
Barefoot on the cobblestones
Looking for Saint Jerome
Jaywalking in the streets of Rome

Picking up white owl feathers
She buries to keep safe
Drinking oil and loving cats
Gives her their purr and their scratch

Trees leaves and seashells will make her day
Words never come out in miscellaneous ways

Roaming along the gaps in the city
Greek goddess on the Campo dei fiori
Scarlet Doe in the middle of the Prairie
The feline can hear and feel and see

I need your lovin'...

like the sunshine:

Beck - Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometime
(A cover of The Korgis; their versions here (older - the original?) and here (a little later in the 80s, a lot more synth))

Re-watched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind tonight (^footage featured in video above), remembered that I love this song. I really should try rekindling my junior high romance with Beck.
