I just decided to throw together some tunes on a list here that I kept going back to on my recent trip to Pennsylvania. I didn't bring a computer on vacation and I limited myself to my notebook, iPod, and books for the eight hour car ride. It was great to be able to actually listen to albums front to back without interruption or distraction. The tracks are in no specific order. 1. Wisconsin - Bon Iver
2. Stoned and Starving - Parquet Courts
3. Mr. November - The National
4. I Watched The Film The Song Remained The Same - Sun Kil Moon
5. I Was There - The War On Drugs
6. I Guess I Should Go To Sleep - Jack White
7. I Can't Wait For You To Die - Elvis Depressedly
I am officially a slacker. During finals in June, I completely fell off my reading schedule. And once I began teaching again with Golden Apple, life was made of lesson plans and excessive carb consumption. But, I have still cultivated plenty to read even if it is heavy on the July side. Again, italicized articles are my top recommendations.
This quarter has led me to more questions than answers in every single aspect of my life. Of course, I had to make a playlist about it. Enjoy these tunes:
1. Fatalist Palmistry - Why?
2. East Harlem - Beirut
3. Lonesome - Dr. Dog
4. The Suburbs - Arcade Fire
5. Forest Whitaker - Bad Books
6. Post Heroic - Surrogate 7. Me and You - Jake Bugg
7. Temple State - Spencer Tweedy
9. Flavor - Twin Peaks
10. Never Though That This Would Happen - The Arkells
This was a month of little reading thanks to the fact the three of my five classes are fairly reading intensive. I decided not to summarize or comment this month. Click an article that sounds interesting and jump in. Italicized articles are my must-reads.
The fourth installment you've all been waiting for is here! Just kidding, most of you are coming out of midterms, in the midst of finals, or done with school so the idea of reading for fun is probably not on the top of your list. But, you should check out these great pieces anyways.
