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.
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!
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.
THIS HAT IS MARVELOUS. I love how from one angle it's completely cute and normal, but then completely rocks this epic knit-mohawk thing when you see it from the side. Brb gonna find some brit punk for it...
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?
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 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."
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.
