Al Green
I Want To Hold Your Hand by Al Green
originally by The Beatles
My fave Beatles cover. Brilliant
holy crap the part where kate remembers and claire is giving birth and then SHE REMEMBERED AND THEN OH MY GOD SHE IS LIKE IT’S ARRON HOLY ZDFBVFG WATER WORKS.. then charlie comes along “it’s just a blanket” and holy crap she grabbed his hand and then that little gasp thing he did i started bawling.
Well put. My thoughts exactly
“I can’t go back in there. It’s all hating faces that I have to chop up with a machete!”
—Albert Markovski, I Heart Huckabees
Just finished Twin Peaks. That final scene was so depressing :(
“I’m mystified by the laziness of people looking at how she presents herself, and somehow assuming that implies there’s a high level of intelligence in the songwriting. Her approach to image is really interesting, but you listen to the music, and you just hear glow sticks. Smart outlets for musical journalism give her all this credit, like she’s the new Madonna […] Although I’m coming from a perspective of also thinking Madonna is not great at all. I’m like, fair enough: she is the new Madonna, but Madonna’s a dumb-ass!”

Joanna Newsom, on Lady Gaga (via andrewfutral)
BOOM! This is so awesome. I won’t argue if you say Lady Gaga is some kind of genius, as long as you don’t try to talk about her being a musical genius. There are other people writing those songs with her, if not entirely. Also even though I love the F out of “Telephone,” the lyrics to that song are pretty uncreative.

OH MY GOD THIS IS MY FAVORITE THING THAT HAS EVER BEEN SAID, POSTED, OR REBLOGGED. Also Tumblr just informed me that today is my blog’s second birthday, and I couldn’t think of a better gift to give it than this. I LOVE YOU JOANNA, ANDREW & ALLISON!

“it’s preposterous: I wanted to have this contained narrative that has the breadth of a Paul Auster short story.”
—Owen Pallett on the idea behind Heartland.
I heard the album yesterday afternoon for the first time and I was struck by how beautiful it was, how well constructed, orchestrated and performed it was.
Today I have read through the lyrics and, becoming quite confused, stumbled upon this quote.
I love this album even more now. I understand what he was going for.
It helps that Paul Auster’s short story collection The New York Trilogy is one of the greatest things I have ever read.
