best songs to have sex to

installment one of 'best songs to have sex to'

first up:

'machine gun' by portishead of their P3 album (2008)

pounding, rhythmic, smoove.

jesus was just a spanish boys name

posting shall be a bit spotty considering the holidays, however I do have a bit of extended thoughts on greyhound busses. In the past year I have taken the bus from boston to maine literally several dozen times, and it's always a trip. maybe I'll get around to characterizing the kind of fools that subject themselves to this gassed up torture, myself excluded because I fucking rule.

also, first picture posts to come. 

ALSO, excited to have the boyfriend come to maine and mini vacay with me.

all is well.

hollerday wishlist part five

The Waitresses 'Christmas Wrapping' vinyl

my all-time favorite christmas song, a 1981 new-wavey punky gem by the female fronted Waitresses, spins quite a tale of missed connections, lame dates and of course forgetting the cranberries for your lonely christmas dinner. 

the waitresses themselves are bit of an overlooked group, and they were responsible for the theme song of 'square pegs', also an overlooked show. they only put out two albums, however they have a 20th century masters compliation that is essentially a best-of from those. also, there is a live album from an appearance they did on King Biscuit Flower Hour, that has a LIVE VERSION of christmas wrapping! huzzah! post-punk you can dance to, cmon people those are only a dime a dozen these days...... 

hollerday wishlist part 4

ummm how about these chronicles of ridic chanel two-tone 'party in the front, business in the back' tights? kthx. 

I enjoy wearing things that people give dirty looks for.

ps I'm back in rhode island until right around christmas eve-ish, and computer access is more limited. still want to do a write-up of some of the best songs of the year. yee-haw

hollerday wishlist part three

everything in this next level fall 2008 d&g ad, including the boys and girls, all up in my shit.

sharp dressed man, the indie rock edition

there is not necessarily a way a man should dress to look sexy, but those who know me certainly know my predilection for shaggy, sometimes flanneled, quirky styled musicians. it's to the point that Mark D can point out boys on the street that I am hardwired to get it up for. so as this is partially a style blog, although one in its infancy, I present part one of the ultimate indie rock boy style, as evidenced by my favorite indie rock boys:

Isaac Brock of Modest Mouse: the shirt, the tattoos, the guitar, the voice that proves he is bat shit crazy....

Stephen Malkmus of Pavement: Courtney Love called him the Grace Kelly of indie rock, OK GIRL, no but really let's talk about his slacker style one more time

Tim Kasher of Cursive/The Good Life: my personal saviour wears western shirts and old man by the sea caps with his constant beard and shaggy hair, so basically I text him whenever I'm ovulating

the men of Fleet Foxes: having the number one record on my top ten list + weirdo grunge style from Seattle

Scott of Frightened Rabbit: Mark D got me into these guys and also mentioned the lead singer was hot, so true, boy is killing it in those shirts and beards

Mark D of the Brother Kite: alright so he may be my boyfriend (swoon), but the boy can dress. like the other men on the list, he's got the epic combo of amazing thrift finds and mainstream (levis/american apparel/nikes) brands that makes my heart beat that much faster. this man is not afraid to wear anything (as evidenced by the pictures of him online in a santa hat/beard and santa boxer shorts). whether he is dressed as a neo-scarface for a pizza party or a latter day beck for a friend's wedding, Mark Howard is always next level.

any other suggestions?

hollerday wishlist part two

dream item number two

the book, How Sassy Changed My Life

sassy was a women/girls magazine from the 90's that instead of posting shit about what your guy's sleep position says about him, and articles about the fucking jonas brothers, wrote third wave feminist articles about the stuff the cool girls were into: sonic youth, 'cute band alert', kurt cobain and courtney love on the cover, riot grrrls, interesting style, chloe sevigny, etc. sassy's ultimate cute boy was lou barlow, not zac efron. for child of the 90's such as myself, this is essential, and represents everything I still love. basically, shit is too hot.

hollerday wishlist day one

while I don't particularly celebrate christmas, anytime that I get to spend with my family is cool with me, nowadays (oh how time changes things). usually my dad requests a small list of items he can purchase for me, he refuses every year to not buy me presents. usually I put small things that I could actually use, like headphones, ribbons, and hardcover editions of books I want. this year it's gonna be straight ca$h, however so it's unnecessary. so here, every day until christmas, is one item I would leave my family in an instant for:

these glasses featured in the chanel print ads make me wish I was fucking half-blind. having christy turlington model them doesn't hurt either. these come in gold, silver, black, platinum. ugh. did these glasses record 'god hates us all'? because they are really slaying me.
