Lido Pimienta - "Mueve". Carlos couldn't decide if he wanted to be a mover or a gardener. Three days a week, he kneeled in the earth, digging holes, pruning brambles, planting seedlings. Three days a week he lifted armoires, ottomen, easy-chairs. One day a week, he rested. On one of these rest days he was sitting sipping a vanilla soda. He was on a plastic chair, under a plastic parasol, at the side of the road. Three girls were playing hopscotch, skipping across chalked white lines. Carlos sipped his vanilla soda. He finished his vanilla soda. He didn't want to be a mover or a gardener. He wanted to play hopscotch. [buy] (thanks guillaume!)
The National - "Vanderlyle Crybaby Geeks". (Removed at label request.) As the buds turn to flowers and then turn to fruit, over hours and days and months, they do not know a single thing about love and longing, about loneliness; they do not know busy concert-halls and warm streets at night; they do not know mystifying conversations and flying kites, opaque texts, waiting and wondering, and biking as hard as you can. Fruit do not know anything about searching another person's eyes. They know nothing about calling someone's name. Sometimes I am a single, perfect, burnished purple plum. [buy]

Funny thing about The National album is that it sounds better on mp3 than it does on CD. Over compressed. Great songs, though, almost as good as 'Alligator'. The band say that the vinyl sounds better. I love that picture of Marilyn, especially the way she's nearly at the end of the book so must be reading Molly's soliloquy which should have resonated with her.
Posted by David Belbin at May 25, 2010 7:33 AMThere's actually an organisation called WebSheriff?
Cooooool.
Posted by Ryan at May 25, 2010 2:02 PMI imagine the Web Sheriff as played by Tommy Lee Jones. Like he just spouts off all that legal jargon, and then tells us in 'plain english': "take down the song, boys, don't fuck around."
