favorite things

All this shit about me, I wanna talk about things that I like talking about. OTHER people and things that are awesome. I'm way better at that. Here are a list of things that I love right now

1. TV on the Radio - the best band in the world right now. I love them so much, I wish they would come to Boston soon. It's like a ghostly barbershop quartet, with political, poignant but not preachy lyrics, awesome beats, and simple, dissonant instrumentation. so so so so so good

2. Arcade Fire- believe the hype, this band is superb. please come to Boston, I was sleeping when you were here last. sleeping on Arcade Fire.

3. Million Little Pieces by James Frey- it's an Oprah book, but it is great. It's about a severely addicted young man in rehab. A first person account. non-fiction. Excellent, excellent. Especially if you have ever known an addict.

4. Make your own Bloody Mary's. This will make any Sunday brunch brighter.

5. 'Into my Arms' by Nick Cave- easily one of the best songs ever written. It hasn't left my head for weeks

6. Me, You, and Everyone one we know. )) < > (( I have never laughed so hard in a movie, ever. I remember. The poop.

7. Cutting all your hair off. If not all, a lot.

8. Antony and the Johnsons- another great band. Antony has the voice of an old, castrato that didn't lose his balls, and dresses up in wigs and dresses. So, I guess that would be like a tenor. His album, right down to the packaging, is exquisite

9. Basquiat (the movie)- I love his actual art, too. He's one of my favorites...but the movie has a special place in my heart. I can watch it 872 times and still relish in every moment of it. It's the only movie I can do that with. I think it's because I am so fascinated with the art/music scene in NY at that time. It's probably the time period that I wish I could have been a part of the most.

10. Green tea at 3pm.

avocados are out of season, and I can't think of any other foods that I love right now. Winter has not yet offered all it's comfort foods for me to enjoy. I predict more sweet potatoes, currant vodka and sodas, and Pho in my future though.
