One of my favourite scenes from Freaks and Geeks (and Virgin Suicides) - I found this on one of my fave mp3 blogs Pop Tarts Suck Toasted. They've listed a bunch of other amazing TV soundtrack moments including - My So Called Life - which I've blogged before.
Oh and my other fave MSCL moment here and FandG here - last one cliche but still amazing here.
"Don't Call It Love If They Don't Love You." "Don't Substitute a Life to Satisfy Mine"
Darren Sylvester takes photos of sad looking girls with junk food among other cute things - and he's just released an amazing album which you can listen to a few tracks here
Stop! warm glow throughout humid night. tired collapse drifts onto shadow-hidden faces. could the answer be the discount wall panels 691-0061 or the sign that says perhaps one way? to where can we go? sitting on the sidewalk what? no cigarettes clenched between dirty fingers? headlights in the distance pass judgment oh, thoughtful america. they threw lit cigarettes in the Mailbox
Someone described Joseph Szabo's work as photos of kids making out - it could equally be described as photo's of drunk teens. The best thing about this photo's is once again how they're black and white (ok I've already posted his pics back here-i know black and white is nothing new but I like it) and two that they are of real kids being as unselfconscious as anyone can be in front of a camera. You might also recognise his work from such albums as this
“In a way, it was sort of depressing, too, because you kept wondering what the hell would happen to all of them. When they got out of school and college, I mean. You figured most of them would probably marry dopey guys. Guys that always talk about how many miles they get to a gallon in their goddam cars. Guys that get sore and childish as hell if you beat them at golf, or even just some stupid game like ping-pong. Guys that are very mean. Guys that never read books. Guys that are very boring.” — J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye
I've been having a bad case of the nostalgia's lately. Feathered haircuts and flares. Faded film, overexposure and Super-8. Its a good thing I have a blog to get it out of my system so I don't go around subjecting the GP to my weird penchant for sun-bleached hair, sitting on peoples cars and frisbees and shit.

Winters nearly over - might as well appreciate missing summer while you still can.
“Pale, nervous girls with black-rimmed glasses and blunt-cut hair lolled around on sofas, riffling Penguin Classics provocatively… But it wasn’t just intellectual experiences. They were peddling emotional ones, too. For fifty bucks, I learned, you could “relate without getting close.” For a hundred, a girl would lend you her Bartok records, have dinner, and then let you watch while she had an anxiety attack.” - Woody Allen
I think we all need to appreciate Woody Allen's forays into literature more than we have already - well I do anyway. You can read the whole story here. Also i can't wait for my new glasess
