Some songs hit your right between the chest. This song and video are eerily similar to a drive and feeling I had over the holidays this past year, through a great American Southwest. I realize that some might think that John Mayer is lame but I’ve never paid attention to what was cool or not, just what I liked.

ah literature
When did I turn my back on your, sweet, intellectual, thought provoking, eye opening, language expanding, literature. When did I start writing in present tense all the time, creating every paragraph with, int. character - day.
This is not a poem but just a remembrance of the type of writing I used to do and which came easily. Now I sit in the dark and struggle to write simple essays. My mind wants to think in images and pictures, not in the damned words!
I threw myself wholeheartedly into filmmaking, this photographic type of word writing that even now I can smell bell peppers and when I once would spit out a hundred words to describe the smell now all I can do is think, that is the smell of bell pepper, coming in through the window. How is that happening at the height I’m currently at?
I better turn on a light and return back to my last paper of the semester, inter-tribal gourd dancing in Oklahoma.

How I live life
Because we don’t know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. And yet everything happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, an afternoon that is so deeply a part of your being that you can’t even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four, or five times more? Perhaps not even that. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless…-Paul Bowles

We’re getting many reports that Beastie Boys member Adam Yauch has died of cancer. He was only 47 years old.
We’re currently working on a proper obituary, but, for now, we’re spinning Paul’s Boutique on repeat, and listening a Beastie Boys interview with Fresh Air’s Terry Gross.
