swoon.

i’ve been listening to spoon a lot lately. they’ve just released a new album, transference. it’s good, but i’m not really as smitten with it as i’d like to be. if anything, it’s making me listen to their other work, to remind me of what’s lacking. nothing will ever compare to girls can tell for me – it’s the first spoon album i heard, and one that i will always cherish – but this song, off ga ga ga ga ga comes pretty close.

in summary – listen to spoon.

things i love

felicia day, the guild, and jed whedon. all together!

you need to watch the guild.

my dad

hey, dad! father\'s day card

father’s day is 6 september in australia and new zealand (and maybe a few other countries as well). i have a couple of father’s day cards for sale in my etsy store.

 

spoon

which is why i’ve re-branded my etsy store, to smallstakes.etsy.com. the name comes from one of my favourite spoon songs, small stakes.

 

 

sunshine

which is rather convenient, because spring is most definitely on its way.

friday nights by the radio.

it’s pretty obvious, but… i like spoon. a lot. as is evidenced by my last.fm page:

music plays a pretty big role in my life. it always has, and i suspect it always will be. you know how sometimes you’ll hear a song, something you’ve listened to numerous times previously, and all of a sudden it just hits you. that has been happening to me all week, but with spoon. with songs i’ve listened to and loved a million times over. with these two in particular:

when asked, i always reply that chicago at night is my favourite song ever. and it is. but i don’t think i’ve really listened to it in a long, long time. and now i’m smitten all over again.
