I like watching war movies while wearing a flower in my hair and I'm working towards being able to say "this must be the place."
Raise your hopeful voice.
The world is so beautiful, it makes me sad to think I have to die.

You can also find me at http://150miles.tumblr.com where I'm going to see if I can limit my driving to 150 miles each month.

And if a ten-ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure - the privilege is mine
Oh, there is a light and it never goes out
I don’t know what it says about me when I say that I think that this is the second best love song ever recorded, with the first being The Beatles- Something

I played this song and next thing I knew, after more than 24 hours of rain, the sun came out. The spirit of George Harrison is alive and well.

So you may be wondering, who is that crazy ginger on the bicycle? That would be Glen Hansard and you probably know him from the movie Once. However, I’ve got to say- please don’t limit yourself to just the movie and the hit song Falling Slowly. Over the past couple of years, I’ve been slowly dipping into his music catalog and ever since I’ve had Spotify I’ve been KICKING myself for not finding out about his other music sooner. I’ve been listening to all of his live tracks with his bands, The Frames and The Swell Season, and I’ve determined that I MUST see him live whenever he comes by the way of the States again. His energy on these recordings are fantastic.
Listen to What Happens When The Heart Just Stops. You’ll see what I’m talking about.
Fun Fact: The reason why The Frames got their name is because Hansard was a bicycle mechanic and he had bike frames laying around his house. A band after my own heart? Oh I think so.
Sir Andrew Lowden who runs http://uglypodcast.tumblr.com and who is the Program Director of the greatest college radio station that was ever assembled (not that I’m biased) just played this track on his show and I’m a fan! Give it a whirl!
I don’t understand why I arrived so late on the Talking Heads train but boy oh boy, I’m glad I caught it before it passed me by.
