OMG! STREAM THE VITALIC CD NOW OK!?!? OR AT LEAST JUST "POLKAMATIC"! also, wtf! the nme is supporting vitalic!?

today was like...all decemberists, all the time! ok, there were only two decemberists things: a painting of an infanta, and a painting called "odialisque", but then i thought taun's notebook said "leslie anne levine" so i was thinking of the decemberists the whole time. and louis xiv, but they sux, and so did the art that louis xiv liked.

so i have been eating nachos pretty obsessively. with sour cream and chives and cheese and cheap salsa (the only part of which sux). so i limit the salsa. god, nachos are great!

and also listening obsessively to the following songs:
1. jens lekman - boisa-bis-o-boisa. you download this now!!!!!!
2. jens lekman - do you remember the riots? (orchestral)
3. the white stripes - blue orchid. why do i like this so much!?!
4. r.e.m. - turn you inside-out
5. r.e.m. - orange crush
6. radiohead - black star live in toronto (best ever version i swear)
7. radiohead - lucky ft michael stipe (this actually exists! and sort of sux! but i still get it stuck in my head :/)
8. pulp - razzmatazz (still!! god! get out of my head, jarv!)
9. mia/diplo - galangaton (diplo mix)
10. the prodigy - smack my bitch up
if you want any of these, i will be happy to send them. that's pretty much true of any song ever of all time. come on, don't be shy, i love to share!

i am going to make a springtime mix with jens lekman, "the wrong child" by r.e.m. (even though it's sad-ish), and probs something by the shins. and "spring cleaning by bright eyes (kind of obvs). any other suggestions? what songs make you think of spring??
