"Troublemaker" by Nada Surf
““Troublemaker”
Why do I feel bad again? I shouldn’t be sad or miss a grin. Doubt creeps in and doubt creeps out, Skews the view from my cloud. Troublemaker tempting fate, Questioning the path I take, Showing me the twists and turns, The forks and points of no return. I would hold my breath so long To wash ashore where i belong. Broken roses on the steps, Like...

Leanne Marshall
I am 100% obsessed with a recent dress by Leanne Marshall. Those with memory will remember her as the winner of Project Runway, before the show went on to suck.
I’m also digging this gorgeous blue dress that’s just out of it’s mind.
I always loved her stuff, I’m so glad that she’s still working on amazing materials. Wish I could afford them.
Emusic
Emusic is violate-able. By that I mean a person with multiple credit cards can have a field day. Years ago when it first came out, I tried the site and they had like NO music that I wanted. I mean, I couldn’t even use my trial credits. There was nothing. I wanted nothing.
Fast forward to today. Someone suggested I try it. And try I did. It’s still not up there. I was looking for some...
CoCoCourtney: Make plans to break plans. →
I think it’s hilarious that at 17 years old you’re supposed to tell your prospective College what you want to do for the rest of your life. At 17 all I wanted to do for the rest of my life was listen to music and throw paint at the walls. So I decided I’d be a graphic designer and work in the…
I feel a lot of the same way. I interned with three labels, had a job for a while at Island and...
MY BIGGEST PET PEEVE ABOUT SEX AND THE CITY!
urbanredneck:
(sorry for yelling)
But seriously, Carrie threw her fucking phone in the water.
She lost it.
She doesn’t have to change her number.
Such a fucking dumb error.
I think it was more about she didn’t want that number anymore because it was connected to a life she didn’t want anymore. Big had the number and she was trying to block him out like canals do water.

Nick Drake's Pink Moon
Below, an old blog post of mine when I thought I was a music blogger a few years ago. Everything still speaks exactly true. I wanted to blog about this album today but it felt so deja vu—this is why.
Nick Drake “Pink Moon” (Originally, 1972; re-release May 6th, 2003)
Tracklisting:
1. Pink Moon

NYC Student Metrocard Battle
I get really upset about the whole student Metrocard battle in NYC right now. The matter at hand is now that students will essentially no longer receive them.
I hear the critics:
Why should I have to pay for someone else’s kid to go to school (The city money you’re paying is already coming out of taxes you’re paying for the school; they pull the card the money still goes to...
Sex and the City 2
I’m a huge Sex and the City fan. Aren’t most women? I’ve compared my relationship to Carrie and Big’s about a thousand times this week alone and when my fiance (boyfriend at the time…) broke up for a week a few years ago….I watched nothing but the Sex and the City movie on repeat. With that, I can assure you I’ve likely seen the first movie more times...

"No Seatbelt Song" by Brand New
“It’s only you, beautiful
I don’t want anyone
If I can choose
It’s only you”
-“No Seatbelt Song” by Brand New
These are pretty much as simple as lyrics get (especially if you get into Brand New’s repertoire—I mean this must have been something Lacey came up with in kindergarden) but every single time I hear the song, it feels so...

Dear Q102
I haven’t been driving to work this week (due to the car imploding and partially exploding, partially valid reason [I think]). I miss your morning show with Jeff and Jen and Fritz and your 5:00PM to 5:30PM half-hour. I your Friday night shitshow. I miss it all. I don’t miss the music but, you know, that’s the difference between us. I like music and you like Colbie Caliat. But...
