The Swell Season: Strict Joy

I've been enjoying this album lately. It's been playing in my car, on my computer and in my head for weeks now. I highly recommend it especially if you're a Once fan.

My real name is David Jones

Chaz showed me this today. It's David Bowie's response to his first American fan letter. He was twenty years old when he wrote this to fourteen year old Sandra Dodd from New Mexico. He sounds so sweet and an overall normal guy. I would have died if David Bowie wrote to me. I wonder what Sandra thought when she received this in the mail...

Dazzle Ships

The other day Chaz and I were listening to OMD's (Orchestral Manoeuvers in the Dark's) album, Dazzle Ships. Chaz was telling me about the album's name and it's origin. Dazzle painting was used on ships during World War I and World War II as a means to camouflage them so that their speed and heading could not be detected. Look how crazy they are...

David Byrne

I love David Byrne. I think he's so handsome and his voice makes me so happy.

I want to read his new book, Bicycle Diaries. Looks like a good read.
