Wild Flag’s Romance music video

“It says it’s a pie chart, it’s shaped like a square.  Who did that?”

LYRICS:

hey hey can you feel it
the way it —- you
the thump in your chest
you make my feet move 
you turn my head —-
that’s why i love you the best

hey you fill up the spaces
those empty places
the corners and cracks
you kill my sickness
my only witness
you’re all that i have

that’s how we like 
we like what we like
that’s what we like
we love which is you
we got an eye
an eye for what’s romance
we’ve got our eyes
our eyes straight on you
you watch us dance 
we dance till we’re dying
we dance to free ourselves from the room
we love the sound
the sound is what found us
the sound is the blood between me and you

back when i had no story
living a folly (?)
you got under my skin
you were my make up
my ———-
my reason to move

can’t stop the bleeding
no this leaving though i’ve tried
and when i return
with those fresh wounds you —- inside

hey you’ve got me crawling
you’ve got me spinning
shake, shimmy, shake
first you —- me, then resurrect me
too much

that’s how we like 
we like what we like
that’s what we like
we love which is you
we got an eye
an eye for what’s romance
we’ve got our eyes
our eyes straight on you
you watch us dance 
we dance till we’re dying
we dance to free ourselves from the room
we love the sound
the sound is what found us
the sound is the blood between me and you

that’s how we like what we like
that’s what we like
we love which is you
we’ve got an ear
an ear for what’s romance
we’ve got our ears
our ears straight on you
you watch us sing
we sing till we’re crying
we sing to free ourselves from the room
we love the sound
the sound is what found us
the sound is the blood (love?) between me and you

Carrie’s dying wish via Twitter:  Going to Ikea.  If I die, please know my wish is for my friends to assemble a white laminate coffin for me using only an allen wrench.

Portlandia: A Guide for Visitors

A comprehensive guide of Portlandia.  Yours for just $16.99.  Or mine from you as a gift.  Yes?

Listen to the wiki article on Carrie Brownstein.  Robotic voice.  Kinda creepy.  But there you have it.

[My greatest moment of inspiration is] actually the footage of Nina Simone performing live at Montreux in 1976 — when I watch that, it’s like I never want to sit down again. I never want to do anything that doesn’t involve hunger and ache. You feel like you never want to be complacent or smug or entitled, and you want to ask and demand — not only of yourself but of the audience — to try harder, to feel more, to be bolder, to participate.
