Enjoyed - Yes, I did!
Holy f*ck! What is the best, most unimaginably awesome cap to a day on which I watched this Final Fantasy performance at least 15 times? THIS! Enjoyed: A Tribute to Bjork’s Post. Ok, so I can think of a few other activities that may compete for best way to end the day. But on a night that I’m supposed to be studying Econ… It doesn’t get much better than Liars...

Music Blogs and Podcasts

Who gives a f*ck about an Oxford comma?
Vampire Weekend has clearly taken the indie music world by storm, and is quickly rising on the mainstream radar. And for good reason! These guys are great. Sure they’re a bunch of rich white kids from Columbia who are heavily influenced, shall we say, by a smattering of recognizable world music styles.

It won’t be too lame if my posts are short, I can easily share things I like, like tunes, videos, and links, and when I have the chance, I can write...
