under the covers

i am kind of obsessed with these kids that cover these intense songs in their little apartments and then post them on youtube. they are just so great.

Edge of Seventeen

17-year-old James Neiley testifying last week before the Vermont State Senate in support of marriage equality. The Senate voted in favor of gay marriage; the House is to vote this week.

Northern Lights

Yoko Ono's Peace Tower installed in Reykjavik, Iceland, captured on live webcam by Andy Towle. Pretty nice.

thanks to Matt for posting this already. Stand Back is totally in my top 10 of all time. check out the dancer that comes onstage midway. is there really no one that is this good today?

Sister Act

Throwing Muses' 2nd best song, Two Step. I was driving home from dinner, blasting this song, thinking about how I had to find it on youtube. Then, when I got home, Mikel had somehow sent me a link to this video. We hadn't even talked about it. I'm not totally crazy about this version, but I'm thinking about having the lyrics tattooed across my back.

Thank you for being a friend

just try not to tear up.
