I’ve had this stuck in my head since #merge25. Yesterday my brain mashed it up with JKutchma’s “Teenage DMZ” (because I put them both on a mix for Trav, and we listened to it driving around last weekend, and honestly? It’s a pretty good mashup. Thanks, brain!). Pretty psyched to see them twice in ten…

concert: typhoon w/ PHOX and wild ones @ cat’s cradle
I started crying two and a half minutes into Typhoon’s set and didn’t stop until they finished playing. It was was an extraordinarily beautiful show, White Lighter is even more powerful live, the crowd was incredibly into the set, and when I took my earplugs out at the end of “Young Fathers”, mid set, for…

Seasonally appropriate Frank Turner cover.
song share: kathleen grace – ‘no place to fall’ (townes van zandt)

video: first aid kit – waitin’ around to die
Some things, like your job, are soul-crushing because they are terrible. Other things are soul-crushing because they are so astonishingly beautiful.

video: frank turner – ‘the way i tend to be’
Frank Turner is never going to play in North Carolina and I am going to die of wanting to see him live. Then I will revive myself and do something outrageous, like finally getting a passport and then buying a plane ticket to Glasgow so I can see him for the first time with Lis…
