Love these!
James Bond is an asshole!
my pick for stephen malkmus christmas song 2011
We meet again
Riding our divisible bodies
Feel no shame
Luck is love is on
If you need the pain
Well you are, yes you are so much like me
Seasons change—nothing lasts for long
Except the earth and the mountains
So learn to sing along and languish here
Help me languish here
It was long ago
That all of your willing dimensions
Lost the flow
And vanished in vaneer
But iI want to know
If you are, yes you are so much like me
Steel restraints
Zodiac ballet, everybody play
There’s no more counting days, you languish here
Help me languish here
You said, “done is good,”
But done well is so much fucking better
Share the wealth
And cauterize the tears
If you want to know
Well you are, yes you are so much like me
Freeze the saints
Such a subtle read, exquisite pedigree
Just let yourself be and languish here
Help me languish here

Oh my goodness… Kids got the concept of love better than adults
this boys life among the electrical lights
I’ve been waking up at sunrise
I’ve been following the light across my room
I watch the night receive the room of my day
Some people say the sky is just the sky
But I say
Why deny the obvious child?
We don’t go anywhere,
Just on trips
We haven’t seen a thing
We still don’t know where it is
It’s a safe mistake
i haven’t listened to this song for well over a decade (15 years??), and for some reason woke up humming it on my way to work.
