I haven’t really listened to Frank Turner for long enough that he’s had time to put out two whole albums, and now that I’m listening to them I have no idea why I stopped, or would ever stop.
This is—as of last week—my favourite song about immortality.
Metric covering “Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright.”
Somehow Hokey Fright became my most anticipated album of 2013.
And this is the video for K.Flay’s “The Cops,” which just kicks the shit out of me.
Kimya Dawson + Aesop Rock = The Uncluded.
This song fills my heart with so many feelings, you guys.
Fiona Apple - Werewolf
“Nothing wrong when a song ends in a minor key.”
Cake - Sad Songs and Waltzes (Willie Nelson cover)
When you’ve really lost someone—lost them in the way “Werewolf” describes, the kind of loss where it’s not just that you can’t be together, it’s that you can’t even be in the same room—everything in you argues against it. Every permanent separation is the rehearsal of a death. But losing someone, and blaming yourself, is the rehearsal of a murder.
The Mountain Goats, “Autoclave”
I dreamt that I was perched atop a throne of human skulls
On a cliff above the ocean, howling wind and shrieking seagulls
And the dream went on forever, one single static frame
Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name.
“Dumb Ways to Die” (via Kristy)

I’m whole only in that I’ve built my person from every thought I’ve ever loved.
