You know the songs that make you want to thank the musicians? Anyone else have those?
Well this is one of mine.Keep playin it goofy, Devendra.Baby is track 3 on What Will We Be. Without a question mark.
Happiness is the "Big Get." It is the elusive exclusive that will rocket you to fame and fortune. And it is a fiction. I am continually amazed, instead, at the power of the "Little Gets," the moments in the here-and-now that make up the rich stuff of life, not to mention the best material for a story. But I've been steeped in the Happiness Myth, so "consciousness" takes practice. And yet, being fully conscious of the Little Gets, both the pleasurable and painful variety, is its own reward.
Thank you Judy Muller. You make me think of Sir Walter Raleigh. Probably not exactly what you meant to conjure, but words are words.
I'm So Tired is track 10 on disc 1 of The White Album.

Apparently Ben Folds writes rock operas by accident.
According to one new friend, anyway.I believe her.
And I think lots of you already know this, but I have moved to LA. Some destinies call from the west.

Extraordinary talents, these two.
One, last I heard, was racing planes in Reno.
The other just launched a totally awesome iPhone app. It features a panda in a bib. And makes it possible for anyone, regardless of language skills, to navigate Chinese menus and restaurant interactions like a pro. Here's a song one of them recorded a few months ago. Anyone want to guess which one?

Looking like we're not going to make it to the Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros show tomorrow.
Bummer.But there'll be other opportunities. I have a feeling these guys are going to be around for a while...Comments [0]
Lauren's car got in a fight and lost, so, since Zeke's off wandering in Wyoming, we've been driving his car for the past two weeks.
And listening to his CDs.Including a nameless mix he made in May.Good to know he's still listening to the important stuff.

There's a Borges story, I think, involving an unintentionally poetic murder and the observation that history repeats literature.
Makes sense. Literature, if it's good, is true.Apparently some birds don't lie either.Thank you PSFK.

Apparently magnetic moose play violin like Ben Sollee plays cello.
My aunt Carey took that pic. She took this one, too. And this one. And this one. And thousands and thousands more, of everyone in the family and everything we love. And we don't thank her nearly enough for it.
