2. The Way It Goes - Gillian Welch
3. Rotten Human - Youth Lagoon
4. Falling Man - Blonde Redhead
5. Going Underground - The Jam
6. Weather Report - The Tennors
7. Swim And Sleep (Like A Shark) - Unknown Mortal Orchestra
8. Somebody That I Used To Know - Seth Avett & Jessica Lea Mayfield

NOTES:
1. Got to see her do her thing live and in person on tuesday. She's a tough one with an incredible voice.
3. Also got to see Youth Lagoon last night. Trevor Powers is something else. Came out swingin' both literally and figuratively. Bless my heart all you sweet, sad things.
4. Had to throw in something spooky for the Halloween month. GHOSTIES
6. Thanks Ezra
<3 p="">10. Be still my soul.
11. "Somewhere between midnight and three, maybe the best stuff happens"
12. For all the sensitive ones out there, only curse word is in the title ;) Also, a cover as an excuse to post another Angel Olsen song.
13. FOMO is getting the best of me. I only go to shows. Got to see this guy a little while ago and discovered that he is not really tall. Music still stand on it's own.
14. Jessica Lea Mayfield featured again. She really is a gem.
<3 p="">15. Heard these ladies for the first time in concert 5 years ago, and I'm still haunted.
<3 p="">16. Amelia Meath also making double appearances (Mountain Man and Sylvan Esso). The sweetest song to close it out.

Music for your Midweek: RAC w/ St. Lucia - "Ready For It"
I've held onto this song for years. And then I found this video, and had to share it. Aaron King, you are too much.
That's all.

Music for your Midweek: No Doubt - "Sunday Morning"
On Saturday, it will be 20 years since one of my fave fave fave albums was released. No Doubt's Tragic Kingdom is a soundtrack to my adolescence that will always have a special place in my heart. And it is STILL. SO. GOOD.

Saturday Verse: "Vade Mecum" - Billy Collins
VADE MECUM
I want the scissors to be sharp- Billy Collins
and the table to be perfectly level
when you cut me out of my life
and paste me in that book you always carry.

Music for your Midweek: Mark Ronson (ft. Alex Greenwald) - "Just"
The hottest cover that I forgot existed and I used to love so so so much. Features high school crush Alex Greenwald from Phantom Planet (and also Donnie Darko! He plays a jerk). I'm too obsessed with Ezra Koenig's Beats Radio show, and he had Mark Ronson on which reminded me about this track. Anyway, the video is great too. Enjoy:

Saturday Verse: "Entre lo que veo y digo..." - Octavio Paz
1
Entre lo que veo y digo
entre lo que digo y callo,
entre lo que callo y sueño,
entre lo que sueño y olvido,
la poesía.
Se desliza
entre el sì y el no:
dice
lo que callo,
calla
lo que digo,
sueña
lo que olvido.
No es un decir:
es un hacer.
Es un hacer
que es un decir.
La poesía
se dice y se oye:
es real.
Y apenas digo
es real,
se disipa.
¿Así es mas real?
2
Idea palpable,
palabra
impalpable:
la poesía
va y viene
entre lo que es
y lo que no es.
Teje reflejos
y los desteje.
La poesía
siembra ojos en la página,
siembra calabra en los ojos.
Los ojos hablan,
las calabra miran,
las miradas piensan.
Oír
los pensamientos,
ver
lo que decimos,
tocar
el cuerpo de la idea.
Los ojos
se sierra,
las palabras se abren.
