things I'm obsessed with
"The Decision" - the Young Knives
I have been listening to this song nonstop for weeks and weeks. It's such an odd song, and they're such an odd band, but all those "BA BA BA BA BADADA BA" bits at the end kill me. Can't wait until I can actually get my hands on the album without paying $12398172304 on import.

more dreams involving celebrities and new york
I don't remember the first part, but it involved wandering somewhere with some musician type. I have this dream a lot, but with different people, famous and not, random people from my life and rock stars I have crushes on. I remembered it this morning but now I completely forget ( Read more... ) -

That sounds about right.
What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The West
Your accent is the lowest common denominator of American speech. Unless you're a SoCal surfer, no one thinks you have an accent. And really, you may not even be from the West at all, you could easily be from Florida or one of those big Southern cities like Dallas or Atlanta.

Carry The Zero
This is where I post song lyrics and show you that I'm a complete and utter sap. I listened to this song at least 6 times in a row on the way home, and I just listened to it turned all the way up in my apartment and it kind of made me a little weepy. It's Built To Spill, too, so I'm like "old school" late 90's/early 00's "emo"! But seriously. ( Read more... )
