a winner + a new mix!

and the winner is...

(dramatic pause)

Bret!

(pause for applause)

who said (and by said I mean typed):

Hi! You're one of the blogs I follow just by typing in the url and it auto-completes and then I just visit your blog every day. Old school, I know. Well, sort of school. I'm not sure how old auto-complete is.

ANYWAY I love this bag http://www.etsy.com/listing/72172200/zippered-pouch-shay-large even though I'm sure even sure it's a cosmetic bag? If I win, I'll either give it to my fiancee, or heck, I'll use it as a new toilettry bag or even as a travel bag for my guitar picks and capos.

Hooray! I totally liked her Facebook page too. I also liked it in real life.

Excellent! I just checked and your site autocompletes here too! I just sent your info over to the other Lisa and she will be in touch!

and...

Today's mix is a collection of songs on my mind lately. I'll list the reasons why for the full effect!



Paranoid Android (cover)- Weezer (great cover/heard on the radio the other day)
Life Goes On- Noah and the Whale (radio)
Flame- Sebadoh (thinking of my music friend my high school/think I will do a post on this)
Letter from an Occupant- New Pornographers ( great summer music/had cd on repeat)
You are a Tourist- Death Cab for Cutie (new cd!)
Silver Lining- Rilo Kiley (wanted to listen to/ cd is skipping/boo)
No One Else- Weezer (probably bad mix etiquette/whatever/listened to this cd in lieu of RK)

ghostly mix

Today's mix is inspired by the days I spend/waste watching you tube clips, specifically Sassy Gay Friend. Have you guys ever seen these? They are all from the Second City Network, the comedy place Tiny Fey, Amy Poehler and tons of other people started at. Its all about how historical characters in novels would have survived/done better if they had a sassy gay friend. One of my favorites is the Great Expectations where he says ' I don't set my clocks to remember the terrible night I slept with Jacob Marley!' and then Mrs. Havisham says 'Eww' and he says "Ew is right! A lot of chains, totally weird...plus he's a ghost!'. Find the clip here.

Happy Weekend all!



Walking with the Ghost- Tegan and Sarah
Grey Ghost- Mike Doughty
Give Up the Ghost- Radiohead
Ghost- Neutral Milk Hotel
Is There a Ghost?- Band of Horses
Not a Robot but a Ghost- Andrew Bird
