Beach House - “Norway”

The way it starts - mechanical drum machine hits and organ blast - makes you think that it is just another track off of their self-titled debut. “Get out of 2006, Beach Hou…” But before you finish that thought, the track has exploded. Compared to their somnambulatory jams of years past, this track is Babe Ruth calling his shot in the bottom of the ninth. Phrases like “hazy and ambling,” which once seemed so appropriate for their past work have no place alongside Victoria Legrand’s pant-and-yell chorus routine. The woozy guitars are still firmly in place, and the organ is still the backbone of the track, but the drums have sprung to life and the contrast between the verses, which feel like stretched taffy, and the lush, powerful chorus provide a dynamic which Beach House has never achieved before. This is the sound of a band stepping up its game.

How Not Achieving Something Is the Key to Achieving It

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 10:00:00 -0500

roomthily:

Which has led me to believe that anyone can do anything. As long as three conditions exist:

You want to achieve it

You believe you can achieve it

You enjoy trying to achieve it

We often think we only need the first two but it’s the third condition that’s most important. The trying is the day-to-day reality. And trying to achieve something is very different than achieving it. It’s the opposite actually. It’s not achieving it.

[…]

Which is why you’d better enjoy trying to achieve your goals. Because you’ll never spend 10,000 hours doing anything you don’t enjoy. And if you don’t enjoy the trying part you’ll never do it long enough to reach your goal.

Alright, so, in Pensacola, any time this song comes on somewhere people are drinking, whole groups will stop and sing it at the top of their lungs. Is that like, a thing where any of you live? I think this may be a result of not only living in a Navy town but also having a ton of Naval Academy alumni in my extended social circle.. but I have to find out.

That’s a “thing” everywhere, I believe.

Ironic appreciation of shitty music: not just for hipsters anymore!

i do not like journey unless brendang is drunk as a motherfucker and playing don’t stop believing on the piano in the hofstra commuter lounge.

This looks like Patton Oswalt.

At afterparties for my alma mater’s theater group, this song is always played, and everyone sings along. Great fun every time!

On Nov. 17, 2009, Earth will pass through the 1466 stream again, but this time closer to the center. Based on the number of meteors observed in 2008, Vaubaillon can estimate the strength of the coming display: five hundred or more Leonids per hour. The times provided are optimal view hours for PST, but the Leonid Meteor shower may last up to two days so there may be other times for optimal viewing.

Largo, from Aus der Neuen Welt (From the New World)

- Antonin Dorak

This serene 12 minute long piece was “obviously recorded from an LP, and listen carefully, for beyond the orchestra’s instruments, you can hear an audience member or two cough, and you can’t help but wonder where they are now, these immortalized coughers.”

They laugh now, but within 10 years the city’s entire criminal class will have ~~quit to work on space research~~ been shipped to the moon.

Did I lol because it’s funny or because I’m in love with Carl Sagan.

A little of both, I suspect!

Keep your head up. Things are gonna get easier.
