Kevin Devine - “Protest Singer”
“You may call me a protest singer, but I’m only protesting myself.”
This guy is cool. I’d recommend this album, Circle Gets the Square.
Look At This Fucking Dog Video of the Day: If these human-armed dog videos ever stop being funny we might as well pull the plug on the whole damn Internet because what is it all for? [j-walk.]
This made my day.

Radiohead - “True Love Waits”
My favorite love song of all time. So beautiful.
I‘ll drown my beliefs
To have your babies
I’ll dress like your niece
And wash your swollen feet
Just don’t leave
Don’t leave
I’m not living
I’m just killing time
Your tiny hands
Your crazy kitten smile
Just don’t leave
Don’t leave
And true love waits
In haunted attics
And true love lives
On lollipops and crisps
Just don’t leave
Don’t leave
Just don’t leave
Don’t leave
anyone with entire beatles discography in their ituens..
whats the total length of all the studio albums?
8 hours, 45 minutes i believe.
I don’t understand why everyone thinks The Beatles are the greatest band ever, besides the whole starting the 4-man-band thing. Musically, I don’t get it. They had a lot of hits, but guess what? The average length of a Beatles song is 2.5 minutes. Take all of Pink Floyd’s hits, for example, and total the time, and compare it to the total time of Beatles hits. Floyd wins by a lot. And I just checked my iTunes and the total time of all Floyd’s albums is over 20 hours. Boom.
