music my moods are stable so STFU

Friday sex injection

I’m not sure what triggered it (hormones, probably — gah, I am just a big janky blog blob of chemicals), but last night I caught a case of the grumps and I slept on it and it didn’t go away, so all morning/afternoon I’ve been simmering and wondering how I can make it go away or, failing that, figure out the best way to wait it out. Watching the Kings of Leon perform an exorcism,…

Thanks, Fritz, for the brain worm

My pal Fritz over at the Manhattan Project posted this video a bit ago, and now that I’ve let the song thoroughly infect my psyche, I had to go buy the whole Santogold album. The video’s kind of dark, even if ironically so, but the album mostly features upbeat, shoulder-pumpin’ music that I hope will set the tone for my week to come. I don’t need another week like the last one, you hear me,…
