Why I can't win

There’s a dude at a coffee shop who likes the Knife, used to volunteer in Mexico, and looks like baby Gideon Yago. So why can’t I date him?

Well, he’s studying to be a pastor, and he was straight-up STUNNED that I was Jewish but not Israeli. Like “WHAT??” Mind blown (his or mine, your pick).

A still from my video interview with Au Revoir Simone, the most personable and genuine people you could hope to meet. Oh and Heather (left) tumbls.

Hello! We’ve recorded another episode of our radio show, “I Love My Wife,” and I think this one might be the best yet. Don’t be dismayed by our faces! The mix is pretty awesome. This episode was summer themed and hopefully that translates to the mix. A description:

Wife Material and Tough Love are both born and bred Chicagoans, but even they can admit that Chicago winters are brutal and to continue to stay in the city during the 5 to 6 months of below freezing temperatures is masochistic. But now summer has arrived and with it, all of the glorious perks of those few months in the middle of the year: sweet lake breezes, cold drinks, lots of daylight, and the pleasure of extended laziness. On the 5th episode of I Love My Wife, listen to some of the duo’s favorite noise and weird-oriented summer tracks. It’s perfect lazy leisure listening.

And the tracklist:
1. “Percussion Gun”//White Rabbits 2. “Wet Hair”//Japandroids 3. “Billy Mummy”//Erase Errata 4. “Shoplifting”//The Slits 5. “Boy Void”//No Age 6. “Bright Side”//The Soft Pack 7. “20th Century Boy”//Placebo 8. “Useful Chamber”//Dirty Projectors 9. “Room Mate”//Lizzy Mercier Descloux 10. “Hot Freaks”//Guided by Voices 11. “I Start to Run”//White Denim 12. “Pump Yr Breaks”//Amazing Baby 13. “Pennyroyal Tea”//Nirvana 14. “It Gets Your Body Movin”//Suckers

Are you overwhelmed with excitement any time you see a romantic movie about two wan, ineffectual people underscored by a soundtrack of amateurish pop rock? If so, you probably won’t find this very funny. But I did.

I honestly don’t know why I didn’t post this the instant I saw it. It’s Retard Tingles, everybody.

Hey, Robyn covered Yelle’s “A Cause des Garcons” for iTunes Foreign Exchange. Yelle covered Robyn’s “Who’s That Girl?” but I like Robyn’s cover better.

Robyn - “Because of Boys”
