LISTEN: The XX

why is that so few good bands want to come to Vancouver?

well, Metric is coming but they are sold out already. I don't know if I will still be here for The Dø in September so I'm too afraid to buy tickets now!



and of course I already missed The xx. Dammit!

The xx are a three-piece band from London, England, formed in 2005. So far, 4 singles and 1 studio album have been released.

LISTEN: Shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo Sugar Town

i'm obsessed with this song at the moment. it was originally sang by nancy sinatra =)

I got some troubles but they won't last
I'm gonna lay right down here in the grass
And pretty soon all my troubles will pass
'cause I'm in shoo-shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo-shoo
Shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo Sugar Town

I never had a dog that liked me some
Never had a friend or wanted one
So I just lay back and laugh at the sun
'cause I'm in shoo-shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo-shoo
Shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo Sugar Town

Yesterday it rained in Tennessee
I heard it also rained in Tallahassee
But not a drop fell on little old me
'cause I was in shoo-shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo-shoo
Shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo Sugar Town

If I had a million dollars or ten
I'd give to ya, world, and then
You'd go away and let me spend
My life in shoo-shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo-shoo
Shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo Sugar Town
la-la-la-la

LOOKIE HERE: Her Morning Elegance

oh my! so lovely and so cool!

QUOTE: all i want.

“I wanna make you smile whenever you're sad, carry you around when your arthritis is bad. I'll get your medicine when your tummy aches; build you a fire if the furnace breaks. I'll miss you, kiss you, give you my coat when you are cold. Need you, feed you, I'll even let you hold the remote control. So let me do the dishes in our kitchen sink, put you to bed when you've had too much to drink. All I wanna do is grow old with you.”

— Movie: The Wedding Singer

awwwwww... gives me teary eyes <3

LOOKIE HERE: Thunder, Perfect Mind

daria werbowy recites the poem "thunder, perfect mind" in prada commercial. it is a lovely piece of work. i like the beautiful images and the ambient music, although i don't think it's a best idea to use a gnostic poem to sell perfume.



here are a few lines:

"Be on your guard!
Do not hate my obedience
and do not love my self-control.
In my weakness, do not forsake me,
and do not be afraid of my power.
For why do you despise my fear
and curse my pride?
But I am she who exists in all fears
and strength in trembling.
I am she who is weak,
and I am well in a pleasant place.
I am senseless and I am wise."
