the raid

coming home means some things...

1. mom's cooking
2. almost guaranteed sunny days and 72 degrees
and 3. new music

the playlist I've accumulated from this visit has been especially lucrative with such gems as The New Pornographers' new CD, She & Him's newest album and my current obsession, Josh Ritter's newest musical masterpiece:




The Curse is favorite
and always stuck in my head.

it's about a mummy and the archaeologist he falls in love with and then leaves for another women when she gets old.


no laughing until you listen to it.  
which you can do here

Yes! I love that you love that album!

but listen to The Curse again... I think it's a little more sinister than him just leaving her for another woman...

"She asked 'Are you cursed?', he said 'I think that I'm cured' then he kissed her and hoped that she'd forget that question..."

I totally agree with person above me! I think his curse is that he sucks the life from her. She gets old as he lives more, eh??
Temptation of Adam style - i love it.
