Jason Mraz - Who Needs Shelter
(Lyrics)

I'm pretty sure this was the first Mraz song I ever heard, way back when I was about thirteen. :) Still pretty fond of it, and him. I like his music best when it's real acoustic though, so I haven't really followed his newer stuff, since it seems to be kinda studio-stylized... O well. He's a groovy guy in any case, and I think I'll always have a soft spot for him.

RAINBOWARMERS: Cute Crocheted Rainbow Earmuff headpiece with clouds -- crimsonetclover on Etsy


Happy National Coming Out Day! :) Whether you want to make a bright pro-gay statement, or just wanna rock a cheery rainbow on those nasty cold days, OR BOTH, these earmuffs are an intensely cute style solution. I first got a pair made specially as a Christmas present for a friend, and they were frankly so amazing that I had to get one for myself too. (They're even using my customer appreciation pics as modeling shots in the item listing! ♥) They started out as a custom order that I requested from the seller/maker (so don't be afraid to contact her if they're out), and now they've become a semi-regular item in the shop's stock! And they just put a new pair up for sale today. Highly appropriate. I wore my own pair today to the National Marriage Equality March, and they were quite well-received by fellow marchers! Almost makes me look forward to going back to the chilliness of Pittsburgh. (They're very good at their job of warming your ears.)

This song was featured at the post-march rally at one point, and later on, so was the cast of HAIR! So, here is a lovely combination of those two lovely things. Enjoy!

Theo Stockman - Hallelujah

Not lol :( Theo! How can you be such a creeper at certain times and so extremely heartbreaking at others! The man contains multitudes.

This performance is from "The Last Goodbye": Romeo & Juliet + The Music of Jeff Buckley. I remember hearing about that when it was going on and knowing a couple of the people performing in it (from other shows, not personally, duh)... Wish I'd gone! If this clip is anything to by, it was not a bad show. Or Theo was rather good in it, at the very least.

✯ ✯ ✯


If these sweaters could sing, they would sing a woeful song:



Beauty and the Beast OBCR - How Long Must This Go On?

How long must this go on?
This cruel trick of fate?
I simply made one careless wrong decision
And then the witch was gone
And left me in this state
An object of revulsion and derision
Hated...
Is there no one...
Who can show me...
How to win the world's forgiveness?


Time will tell, sweaters. Time will tell.

No answer on the telephone




Heart - Alone


This was stuck in my head this morning thanks to
...And now thanks to tonight's episode of Glee, it's back again. So I'm sharing.

'Til now... I always got by on my own
I NEVER REALLY CARED UNTIL I MET YOU!


✯ ✯ ✯


I know it's chilled you to the bone...
But you should NOT wear this sweater if you want to get someone Alone.

Vintage 80s Michael Jackson Thriller Sweater - gwenevere24 on Etsy


So... I guess the name choice is inviting us to compare this sweater to the top that Michael wears in the Thriller video?

Okay, let's:

WE'RE CHEETAH GIRLS, CHEETAH SISTERS


METALLIC KNIT vintage 80s front and back CAT PRINT sweater Size S-L

METALLIC KNIT vintage 80s front and back CAT PRINT sweater - vintagemarmalade on etsy

A: You know why you should never play cards with big cats?
B: No, why?
A: Cos they're all CHEATAHS!

hohohohohoho

Just to be clear, this is "WTF Sweater Week" ...As in a week of "WTF?"-inducing sweaters. (Though this one is also kind of fierce by merit of having a GIANT CHEETAH on it.) There will be lots of normal sweaters in the weeks to come, though, never fear. Maybe they will even get a week of their own.

Rodrigo y Gabriela - Tamacun

"Rodrigo Sanchez and Gabriela Quintero are two fast-fingered, Dublin-based Mexicans with a unique sound created on acoustic guitars. Their music is difficult to define, straddling both world and rock and often imbued with timeless Hispano – classical influences. The fire in it comes from their life-long passion for metal music."

Not my favorite Corinne song, lyrics are a bit preachy, but I've had a bad day so right now they're also comforting.

Stars - In Our Bedroom After the War

Maybe not the best match for the necklace, but it's an old favorite of mine. And it is a song about the end of a war, the ideal of a post-war peacetime life... so I think it fits.

Wake up
say good morning to
that sleepy person
lying next to you;
if there's no one there,
then there's no one there --
but at least
the war is over.

(Lyrics)
