“Sad is for the lonely”
-Phoenix Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix
At least that’s what I think the song says. I was told that it actually goes like “Deciders for the lonely”, but that sounds stupid, doesn’t make sense within the context of the song, and it doesn’t help my blog. So we’ll go with “Sad”. Oh, and they’re gonna be here in...

Kill the Moonlight
“Religion don’t mean a thing, it’s just another way to be right wing.” -Britt Daniel Spoon, Kill the Moonlight
In occasion of the newest greatest album on Billboard (Transference). They finally made it big. Good for those guys. They’ve been coming out… with great albums for a while now and they have never been recognized for it, and it doesn’t matter how...

Incomplete and Insecure
“I haven’t finished a thing since I started my life and I don’t feel much like starting now.”
-The Avett Brothers I And Love And You
My god are these dudes awesome! I love how natural their voices… sound and how amazingly mind-blowing their harmonies are. Oh, and they also have awesome lyrics. I am ashamed to say that I had never heard of them until last year with...

Bob Fucking Dylan
A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and goes to bed at night and in between does what he wants to do.
-Bob Dylan
So, discussing my phobia of becoming a boring person a couple days ago, (the kind that doesn’t even get excited when a new My Morning Jacket album comes out or when the name “Zooey Deschanel” is mentioned, or whatever it is that makes other people...

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
“Constantly talking isn’t necessarily communicating”
-Jim Carrey Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
It’s a weird thing, to think of Jim Carrey acting seriously. I mean, he’s… a great actor and all, but I think everybody is used to watching him be funny. When I first watched The Number 23 (back when it came out), I thought it would be hard getting over...

I Trust You To Kill Me (continued)
So, apparently that Kiefer Sutherland’s quote from yesterday didn’t finish there:
“Sometimes you have to go through something to find out why you did it. If everybody ends up not liking you because of it… Well they weren’t gonna like you for real anyway”
-Kiefer Sutherland I Trust You To Kill Me (movie)
Apologies, nonexistent readers, but yesterday I wrote...

I Trust You To Kill Me
“Sometimes you have to go through something to understand why you did it.”
-Kiefer Sutherland, a.k.a. Jack Bauer I Trust You To Kill Me (movie)
I don’t quite get this quote, and neither does Mr. Sutherland, given that he continues the phrase by saying… “I don’t completely get it”. Yeah, that’s deep. But I like how it sounds. It sounds like maybe...

Fake Tales of San Francisco (echo through the...
“Love’s not only blind but deaf”
-Alex Turner Arctic Monkeys, Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not
I was skeptical when a close friend urged me to listen to them. I’d heard…
a few singles from them and for some reason I thought that they were just another one of those bands handcrafted by executives, with the sole purpose of selling to a...

Smokin' From Shootin'
“Faith can’t prove what science won’t resolve”
-Jim James My Morning Jacket’s Evil Urges
Ah… The first quote from my favorite band of all time. See, the thing is, I don’t think Jim James has the best lyrics ever. They’re ok, but let’s face it, our bearded friend is no Conor Oberst. I’m gonna put it like this: Conor is better at writing...

(500) Days of Summer
“Loneliness is underrated”
-Joseph Gordon-Levitt, (500) Days of Summer, 2009
This quote stroke me by it’s simpleness. It got me thinking… how much we believe that we need the company of other humans, it makes us feel special. The truth is there isn’t a better time than the time we have by ourselves. It’s a crazy thing how so many people feel the need, the urge...
Californication
“A morning of awkwardness is far better than a night of loneliness”
-Hank Moody, Californication, Season 1
Hank Moody might be the best character I’ve seen in TV. Sure… Jack Bauer is a badass, Gregory House is funny as hell, and Patrick Jane and Cal Lightman are as clever as they get, but Hank Moody is all of the above, and he feels real. Californication can make me as...
Take It Easy (Love Nothing)
“Now I do as I please, and I lie through my teeth Someone might get hurt, but it won’t be me I should probably feel cheap, but I just feel free And a little bit empty”
-Conor Oberst Bright Eyes, Digital Ash In A Digital Urn
I’ve always been amazed by Conor’s lyrics. Sometimes immature, sometimes hard to… follow, but he always knows how to communicate...
