No words, just music. Oh, and this...

DJ Earworm Mashup - United State of Pop 2011

Pitchfork Tracks==Eargasms

Finals week. Not studying. Went through all of Pitchfork's "Top 100 Tracks of 2011" instead. Here are some of my top picks--the top of the top like the edge of a butter knife on the roof of a monastery on the summit of a Chinese mountain--these songs took my eardrums on a romantic dinner and to a club and danced them like they have never been danced before; these tracks are mutherbloodyfreaking epic. A few randoms thrown in.

Aside: I heard The Joy Formidable for the first time and to put it lightly, they took a wrecking ball to everything I thought I knew about noise... check it out!

A Flower on the Starbucks Wall

So that the Playlist Diary doesn't get too lonely, here is a bit of original poetry. I wrote this little piece while seated at a local Starbucks, eavesdropping on the conversations happening around me. All of the snippets are taken from these conversations. Enjoy!

P.S. Check out my friend's blog... Cynosure .

'Starbucks'

Routine,
another nickel in the machine.
A wedding and a latte,
just one more for my baby.
“You can heat there (on the stove)”,
the coordinator rattles,
“…decorations…church…taking it down.”
Good afternoon!
grande mocha, (kiss me),
the planner sells insurance.
We can’t guarantee security,
so don’t bring your dress to rehearsal…
Tall mocha Frappachino, sound check,
(accidents can happen when two hearts collide).
The little Asian man is angry at his computer,
“Supply your own candles…”
The jazz brings everything together.
