I like Watching You Read

Things I like:

zeppelins

led zeppelin

kissing in the grass

solitude

mattresses on the ground

tennessee

night drives (with you)

sleeping in tents (with you)

glasses

(and the men who wear them)

free birds

(but not the song, free bird)

racial equality

space

hot air balloons

infinite possibilities

being free

Things I Do Not Like:

urban sprawl

anorexia

money

forest fires

birds on wires

and haters. (but not lil weezy obvi)

and if you're looking for some new tunes...

check it

(Broken Bells and The Octopus Project to be exact)

that's James Mercer of the Shins and Danger Mouse,

fucking sound gold, y'all

oh and my boyfriend told me these guys were worth it

and i agree

and if you're looking for a good read...

this one's great if you're really confused about what the hell is going on in our world right now.

(I am.)

...or if you're in the mood for something more creative...

southern gothic is a great way to go.

(I think so.)

in other news,

my sister left today which made me sad,

but while she was here we went to

planetariums and toy stores and underground bars

hidden in hot dog shops...

and we saw A Behanding in Spocane featuring Christopher Walken and Sam Rockwell...

what's better than that?

Spring is crashing into this drowsy metropolis tomorrow,

bringing us highs in the seventies and sunshine,

Have Love Will Travel

This is coming soon to a reality near you

But until then...

I'm bored

and lonely

i'm smoking too much

and listening to a lot of cramps

I want to fly

And play games

And buy a motorcycle

(and maybe dress like this)

and not feel like i'm doing something i wasn't intended for

I miss you.

Video Killed the Radio Star

So I'm back in New York

after 9 hours of travel for what is normally a one-hour direct flight.

F U US AIRWAYS.

(is that slander? not sure but i really don't care.)

Anyways, I have a mountain of work to do

since I just spent the last hour and a half

going through everything I own and reorganizing

(there's no better way to feel productive than moving around what's already there, yall.)

and I'm getting rid of a lot of awesome things that I just don't have room for

I hate to see them go, but i'd love to see them on one of you!

**hint hint online ChloëKillwell garage sale coming soon to a laptop near you**

Speaking of the interweb,

and since I don't have a lot of time tonight,

I thought I'd share with you some of my new favorite web treats

First,

this is for any music lover who also feels that music can change your life

and that there's nothing better than seeing music do just that for a child.

I give you the PS22 chorus performing Lisztomania by Pheonix

so brilliant I know.

Furthermore,

A fellow Nashvillian, Mr. Korby Lenker

had the brilliant idea to make this awesome video

(with a shot gun cameo by yours truly and endearing artillery sound effects by papa RJ)

as shamelessly genius self promotion

for a radio contest he is in currently as an Americana artist

you can go vote for him here. cause you gotta admit this video deserves it yall.

Lastly

This has become my second favorite Fashion Designer to come out with a tantalizing and adorable video to debut her spring 2010 collection

(visit her website here.)

But nothing compares to the film endeavors of Erin Fetherston and Ellen Von Unwerth

This one's my favorite

so there's some things to get you through this chilly rainy night (at least in nyc)

or wherever your dreamy little head may be

Goodnight ClickStars

When The Garden Flowers Baby Are Dead Leaves

So Spring Break is almost over,

and it just now got relaxing.

I spent such a short time in Nashville that it just kind of seems like a drunken blue blur.

And I arrived in Toronto exhausted.

But my boo helped me with some R&R

and after a hellish drive sitting in the back seat next to a very large amp,

We had a kick ass time in Montreal

anything in the name of Rock n' Roll I guess

This is what this break has felt like

I'm actually starting to believe

and I don't feel like this so much anymore

I guess if you know me,

you have to know

But I always get moving again. I promise.

I've got two more months living in New York City as a student before I open a new life chapter

but i'm excited to get Team Big Whoops together and make it look like this

all of the time.

I feel like this right now.

And it's pretty fucking great.

And Summer's right around the corner, baby

trees with leaves

and lots of thuggin' in the streets

Even though it's very gray and chilly here right now,

everything looks really sunny.

Maybe it's because you can't not be happy when you're listening to

The Temptations

and Jefferson Airplane

(doesn't this make you super ready for Bonarroo '10 yall?)

p.s. this is what varnish looks like in a fish bowl.

pretty sick right?

p.s.s. these are two artists that you should really check out.

they will definitely inspire you:

Erin Preston

and Eric Lewis

(that's oil on linen dudes!)

I love their two very different but equally expressive and unique portrayals of women


anyways, I have a mountain of work to do before I return to the big rotten apple

and a boyfriend to tend to.

See ya on the flip side clicksters
