The Velvet Underground – “Candy Says”

A song they wrote about a transgender woman, Candy Darling, who was part of Andy Warhol's little superstar set. I think it'd be really nice to be a famous artist like Warhol some day and create 15 minutes of superstardom in my best friends ever. It sounds like Warhol had his own little Warholian family, but in trying to become Warhol, you might just end up becoming another Damien Hirst and like hell we need two of those in the universe.

Anyway, this is a wonderful song and I like listening to it while forlornly looking out the window, out into the summer sky. Forlornly.

For the sake of irony, I'm listening to some Christmas smooth jazz right now in August. :J

The Mountain Goats & Kaki King – “Black Pear Tree”

I'm really digging this EP collaboration of John Darnielle and Kaki King. It's pretty spiffy. This is my song. I think I need to get into this wonderful young guitarist.

Just listening through Real Estate's first album again. If I ever get the chance to buy things on vinyl, this is going to be one of the first LPs I grab.

I still need to get my turntable, though.
