Nina Simone: Ain’t Got No…I Got Life (Groovefinder remix)

 

…there’s definitely still lots of things that we’re lucky to have. I’m starting to get a little tired of the unprecidented amount of loss going on around me; jobs, families, happiness, homes, forests, husbands, wives, health, deposits, Kodachrome, ugh, enough already! In the last couple weeks alone I was served with an official layoff notice and a last-minute (and temporary, I repeat, oh-so-temporary…) move back home to weather the storm until I find my footing. Folks, I’m just gonna say it; the world kinda sucks right now. FOR EVERYONE. And before it starts to get depressing I offer you this song and photo for inspiration. After all, you may not have a job but for crap’s sake, you got your boobies. End of story.

Anathallo: Kasa No Hone (The Umbrella’s Bones)

Yes: Close To The Edge (I Get Up, I Get Down)

The Radio Dept.: I Wanted You To Feel The Same Way

Chao: Gotta Go

There’ll be no new posts for a week; Marnie’s going on vacation. I’ll be back with new photos and perhaps a story or two. Au revoir!

Lali Puna: Nin-com-pop

Ramona Cordova: Giver’s Reply

The Arcade Fire: Intervention

The Concretes: Seems Fine Shuffle

I’d like to point out a couple things here. 1: Just how miserable everyone in the photo is, except for guy smiley in the middle. And the reason why he’s so happy brings me to point number 2: Please look at where his right hand is. Oh, the look on poor Mrs. Grumpy’s face; I get the feeling she knows EXACTLY whats going on but becuase the shutter is about to go off, cant really do much about it. And I bet you that as the photo was being taken the two exchanged this lyric from the song: Guy Smiley: So fine. Mrs. Grumpy: No it aint.

Blackalicious: Make You Feel That Way

Antony and the Johnsons: Fistfull of Love

The Essex Green: By The Sea
