“Gravity” by Sara Bareilles – this song is beautiful and heart-breaking. Partly because I think of Kayla & Kupono’s addiction dance on SYTYCD. Check out Kayla & Kupono’s Addiction dance on youtube as well.

The Swell Season A.K.A. Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova – Live desk session on NPR. – It is mindblowing that this guy has not won a million grammys and reached astronomic worldwide fame. Glen Hansard is a brilliant songwriter who is even more brilliant in his live performances. And Marketa Irglova both complements and enhances their music with her gentle yet evocative voice. He makes The Frames rival u2 as my favorite Irish band ever.

And as promised, a weird ass poem I wrote January 7th at 4 in the morning.
Still it’s in this house
In late late night
The ticking chiming clock loud
The mouse scuttles
Awake sitting
On the red couch near
Very near dawn
Glad
I could leave
You in your dark room
Leave your loud beating
Heart
Staying here
In my nightgown
wiping dust off old book
in the dim light reading
I am in this house
you are in that house
EVEN IF you have never watched this show, ever, you still have a chance! This fall, a new season premieres. Fox has brilliant stuff in spite of itself. Watch this great show premiere Sept 9th. AND if that was not good enough, GLEE returns that same night. Do not get me started on how much Glee makes me happy in my soul. I have watched theat Journey song cover ten times. Yes, Glee qualifies as a new obsession. It is hard for TV shows to touch us sad and jaded youth, but Glee brings the most unexpected joy to its viewers. Get excited! I will be enjoying these two shows in my newly decorated apartment. It doesn’t even look like a college place anymore…thanks roommates!
