red wine and bright light in my window seat
Listen to the Devendra Banhart, M. Ward, Cat Power, Elliott Smith//makes me want to sit in a yellow sunroom in my imaginary tall-tall home in San Francisco//sipping tea colored yellow watching//weeping willow trees dancing outside my window//fog moving in and surrounding me each time//I jog down the hills//through the city//running, but inside, cozied up with my eye’s resting.
One glass away

“Snow White is definitely butch.” “Who do you think you are?” “I want to be Jasmine…” “Christine! You’re not brown!?!”

One google search yesterday at work felled me into the black hole of the Andrew WK conspiracy!!!
Days before I had no idea what his music even sounded like, now I read blogs!, watched videos, lost countless hours of my life—I couldn’t stop!
I’ve decided he is, if nothing else, one of the most free-spirited and fearless performers I’ve ever see. Inspiring.

I’m so glad I’ve grown to love folk music. Esp. alt. country.
Gillian Welch you are rocking my soul to sleep in your worded arms tonight. Neko Case, you are the mother to the dreams where I’m flying.
