“They are scarcely adult, some men: they wish women to understand them, and to that end they tell them all their secrets; and then, when they are properly understood, they hate their women for understanding them.”

If you don’t have all three of The Weeknd’s mixtapes from last year head to their site to download them immediately, if not sooner.

There isn’t an official video for the song “Soft” by Washed Out, but there are a lot of fan-made versions floating around the web. I posted one I liked a while back. Here’s another I just stumbled upon. I wasn’t in love with the album Within and Without, but this song is definitely something special.

Last night I watched The New Order Story for the first time in probably ten years. Every time I hear a New Order song or see them perform I am reminded just how much influence they’ve had on much of the music being made today. If you put a gun to my head I would say this is my favorite song by them. Enjoy.

One Saturday morning in 1990 my grandfather brought over his Neneh Cherry VHS cassette and we watched the whole thing while my mother recovered from the flu in the next room. That is all.

Steps

How funny you are today New York
like Ginger Rogers in Swingtime
and St. Bridget’s steeple leaning a little to the left

here I have just jumped out of a bed full of V-days
(I got tired of D-days) and blue you there still
accepts me foolish and free
all I want is a room up there
and you in it
and even the traffic halt so thick is a way
for people to rub up against each other
and when their surgical appliances lock
they stay together
for the rest of the day (what a day)
I go by to check a slide and I say
that painting’s not so blue

where’s Lana Turner
she’s out eating
and Garbo’s backstage at the Met
everyone’s taking their coat off
so they can show a rib-cage to the rib-watchers
and the park’s full of dancers with their tights and shoes
in little bags
who are often mistaken for worker-outers at the West Side Y
why not
the Pittsburgh Pirates shout because they won
and in a sense we’re all winning
we’re alive

the apartment was vacated by a gay couple
who moved to the country for fun
they moved a day too soon
even the stabbings are helping the population explosion
though in the wrong country
and all those liars have left the UN
the Seagram Building’s no longer rivalled in interest
not that we need liquor (we just like it)

and the little box is out on the sidewalk
next to the delicatessen
so the old man can sit on it and drink beer
and get knocked off it by his wife later in the day
while the sun is still shining

oh god it’s wonderful
to get out of bed
and drink too much coffee
and smoke too many cigarettes
and love you so much

Frank O’Hara
