Over You
Jay Nash
Jay Nash is an LA-based singer-songwriter, and this particular song has inspired one of the turning-points in the script that I’m working on.

Emaline (1990 Demo)
Ben Folds Five
Holy shit man, I really love this original version of the song. “Emaline” was cut from their debut album because “it had a guitar,” and Folds considered it “illegal,” but this demo might be my favorite version of the song, even if it doesn’t have any guitar in it (like the “Naked Baby Pictures” version does).
i'll watch the mtv award shows when mtv becomes relevant again.
getting this off of my chest.
I’ve had this on my mind for some time, and I just need to air it out.
It’s not enough for the people in my life to be real with me, but I need the people in my life to be real to everyone else, to be truthful and honest in a general sense. Phoniness is a major turn-off, and I don’t care for people who simply live to keep up a particular image, people who feel that they have something to prove and feel they need to keep up appearances…even if you’re real with me, if you can’t be truthful in the rest of your life, how am I supposed to trust you?

fuck it.
Finally found the remote control. Don’t know why in the hell I placed it where I did…as for the flat iron purchase…maybe it’s still on. God…this hipster shit is taking over.
Also, Dwight Howard’s impersonation of coach Stan Van Gundy is hilarz.
i might need to purchase a universal remote today...
…and a flat iron.
I’ve spent the past hour-and-a-half searching for my television remote control without any luck. I give up…and I desperately need to sleep. I’ve reached the point where the necessity for sleep has superceded my anal-retentive tendacy which would prevent me from hitting the sack before said slumber. No, I need sleep…and I can buy a decent universal remote later today when I wake up.
As for the flat iron…my hair is getting long and I am actually that vain and douchey, and I don’t feel like getting short hair anytime soon.

Saturday night bonus track:
Flume (Live from Radio City Music Hall)
Bon Iver ft. My Brightest Diamond
Found via Box of Boom
For those of you intent on mellowing out tonight…here’s a pretty sweet rendition of Bon Iver’s flume featuring a band I just recently found, My Brightest Diamond. I’m really digging the pairing of Bon Iver and MBD’s textures behind the song. The original version is really great…and this version turns the song into a really sweet duet. Turn down the lights and just let this song sink into you.

Lust For Life
Girls
Found via The Other Disco
Here’s another poppy jam to keep you in a good mood whether you’re partying or chilling at home. Have yourself a little 2-and-a-half-minute dance party…it’ll be good for you. “I wish I had a pizza and a bottle of wine,” that’s a winning lyric.

Ooh La La
The Faces
Found via Le Choix de Mlle Eddie
It dawns upon me that not everyone has been partying all weekend. Some of you lucky souls might be just up late at night, at home, with your significant other…or your would be significant other. Maybe you just need a nice twangy mellow jamb to lighten the mood. If you happen to be a couple of those lucky souls, I’m pretty sure this ditty will get you smiling at each other. Pour another glass of wine and turn this one up.

Many Shades Of Black (New Version)
The Raconteurs ft. Adele
Found via Box Of Boom
So, let’s kick off this late night block of music with a little bit of Jack White backing Adele in this redo of “Many Shades of Black.” I just got off of another night of work, and I’m not winding down anytime soon…this song is just motivating me to stay up even more. I’m just loving the heavy horns on this song…reminiscent of the “Wall of Sound.” If you’re still in a party mood, turn this one up…talk about the song with the cool kids…make out with the coolest one.
cognac and red bull? really dude?
Whatever floats your boat.
you know...
I usually don’t post cutesy things these days…but that dashboard coincidence was too much to pass up, I just thought it was a cool juxtaposition of pictures…
