I've often said that my friend Bree is my ideal girlfriend because she and I have identical tastes in music, television as well as classic video games. I've never dated anyone that likes the same music or TV as I. Sure, there are common interests...one ex liked Rachael Yamagata, the Gilmore Girls and Super Mario World. One other liked the Beastie ( Read more... )

My sister's car is in the shared driveway and has been for a few months. It doesn't run and has a bad transmission. She can't afford to fix it right now because her boyfriend lost his job earlier this month, a casualty of our economy ( Read more... )

As cool as I thought it was that I was doing everything from downloading music (though I was unable to transfer any of it) and connecting to the internet on a $5 computer from a thrift store, I'm glad to have my slightly more modern computer working again and have put the temporary Sony back into hibernation ( Read more... )

Sundance (for me at least) is over. I spent four days of the last six in Park City, taking in three afternoons of music, one evening of a movie and music, two bands at a bar and one musician's invite to a bar.

My computer is broken and won't turn on. My car was broken and mysteriously shut off. I even managed to break the key off in the ignition of my dad's car this evening. On top of that, I got a ticket in Park City just a few blocks from where the officer finished his route for the day.

If I hadn't had a great couple of days in Park City scheming my ( Read more... )

A month ago, while at the giant Xmas party my friends have, I began writing a song that I instantly had a basic melody for. The song was sparked by a line (my friend?) Tayler said to me as she was leaving. She saw me near the stage, and just before she left, she gave me a hug before saying, "there's no crying on the couch tonight" which was a ( Read more... )

I was surprised to see this at the top of my email this morning. It's an interview that CNN has conducted with Nina Persson of the Cardigans. For those who don't want to follow the link, the article is basically as follows:

CNN: Cardigans, where have you been? It's been like ten years?!
