Yesterday, I saw Enid Coleslaw stalking a couple in the grocery store and scribbling in her notebook. Apparently she’s stuck in town for the summer, because she has to take an art class for fuck-ups, but after that she’s free. I wonder what she’ll do after high school? Probably just torture Josh until he dies. I don’t know why, but I have this feeling that one day she’ll sort of just…disappear.

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. ♥

Log in to replyAnd in an amazing turn of events, Ghost World actually just started playing on Sundance and I’m now going to spend the remainder of my night watching it :)
Log in to replyI’m very sorry if you are not able to get this playlist to work. We are having trouble with the site that hosts it, and will try and fix as soon as possible!
Log in to replyI just wrote down Ghost World as a must see for this weekend, not two hours ago.. ROOKIE YOU ARE TOO N’SYNC WIT MEEEEE

Log in to replySorry guys! An iTunes bug put the wrong artists for some tracks. Jaan Pehechaan Ho is by Mohammed Rafi and Devil Got My Woman is by Skip James. Whoops!

Log in to replyI watched Ghost World a couple of weeks ago & it was amazing! This playlist is like the musical version of it. Awesome! I love that you’ve used Mohd. Rafi’s Jaan Pehchaan Ho which brings back a lot of memories. R.I.P. Rafi Saab.
Log in to replySeeing as GW and Paris, Texas are top shelf in my film preference library, let’s make a “Hanging Out With Travis” playlist for next month. I’m expecting a lot of Wim Wenders.
Log in to replyYES to a Paris, TX and/or Wim Wenders playlist! then Jim Jarmusch..
Log in to replyHELL YEAH, fellow pretentious cinephile, YEAH.
Log in to replyI bet 5 bucks rebel girl has already been in at least three other mixtapes by you guys. I’ve just heard it so many times GAWD
Log in to replyfuck i love this… IT IS walking around ghost world with Enid Coleslaw
Log in to replyenid will totally end up with josh… dah.
p.s.
Log in to replybikini kill is fiercely appropriate, but i fear there is a desperate lack of indian musicals, and blues sides.
Enid would definitely agree with this playlist.I like how you included that Indian song she was listening to at the beginning of the film;)

Log in to replyBuzzcocks – Ever fallen in Love is MY TUNE I SO SO SO SO LOVE THAT SONG!!!!!!!!=)
Log in to replyOnce I watched this movie about these guys who worked in a parking lot. A guy from YLT was in it.
Log in to replyYO LA TENGO
Log in to replyHazel,
Why Buzzcocks’ Fallin in Love over What Do I Get, which was in the film? What Do I’s lyrics seems to fit better.
I just want a lover like any other
What do I get
I only want a friend who will stay to the end
What do I get
Oh and I always imagine she grows up to the Sophie Crumb :D It’s her drawings. So the bus goes to Paris.
