Hello, you. June’s theme will be LONGING. Unlike more-acute forms of desire like desperation or need, longing is a sweet ache—more pining for something than dying for it. It’s nostalgia, homesickness, boredom, a persistent feeling of lack, dreaming of escape/the future. It’s summer: summer homes & cottages, stuffy summer bedrooms, sun-bleached memories of summers past. The shadow of September that hangs over June. It’s secret hangouts, crushes, unrequited love. Send what you’ve got here, and thanks. ♥
I am forever trying to find a better song than ‘she blinded me with science’ to work out to, and i am forever realizing how GODDAMN DELUDED I AM! Good work kids!!!!

Log in to replyhow can there not be a GOGOL BORDELLO song here? they are the wanderlust KINGS
Log in to replyjust kidding

singing about tribal connection and going all around the world with gypsy punk beats…
could i write a literally the best thing ever about them maybe?
Agreed on Gogol Bordello being the best thing ever! And by extension Eugene Hütz is literally the best person ever.
Log in to replyCan anyone else not stop seeing little movie stills of Wristcutters: A Love Story whenever you hear anything by Gogol Bordello? That movie made me love them.

Log in to replyI LOVE Mirah’s “Cold, Cold Water”… I listened to it a million times during one earth shattering break up and then did the “freedom dance” like Angela Chase did when she got over Jordan Catalano–and I was free. This is how I remember this song:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddWB0W42fy8
Log in to replyOoooooh. Joanna Newsom. Me gusta.
Log in to replyThe Beach Boys! Ahh, I went to a party last Friday, there was a band that played the most beautiful cover of sloop John B. Thankyou Rookie for motivating me to explore, you’ve inspired me for my latest blog post.
p.s “Wanderlust” is the best word, ever.
