MIXTAPES

Mixtapes are back baby. I want to make cassette tapes
 just like I did when I was younger. Remember how 
you had to blow the inside track holes to make 
sure they would work? Or if you 28th time you 
played "Can't Touch Dis" it spewed out tape.
 The music for my tapes are going to include 
some of my present favorites. 
Just because your goin' old school with cassettes doesn't
 mean that we have to record MC Hammer or 
Billy Idol, well not 
the first batch. 
White Rabbits, "Percussion Gun"
White Denim, "I Start to Run"
Washed Out, "Feel It All Around" grrreat track
Vampire Weekend, "Giving Up The Gun"
Current Favorite! San Francisco duo Girls, "Goddamn"
Amanda Blank, "Might Like You Better"
it would be you! "Little Yellow Spider". Isn't he gorgeous???

The Girl in the Black Tights


The Girl in the Black Tights being the one and only fashion icon and Andy Warhol muse Edie Sedgwick. Not only do I want all of the things on this montage, but I'm willing to kill someone for that gold Winston zippo. I made the montage on Polyvore.com.

Latest Fascination: The Pains of Being Pure at Heart

The Ghosts of Family Pets and The Pains of Being
Pure at Heart's video for "Young Adult Friction"
is hypnotizingly artistic and adorably morbid.
I love the band, I love the song, but most of all
I love the sweet super 8 camera skills.
