Albums You Should Really Listen To If You Haven’t Heard Them By This Point In Your Life, Because I Love You: Exile in Guyville by Liz Phair*
it’s harder to be friends than lovers. and you shouldn’t try to mix the two. ‘cause if you do it and you’re still unhappy, you know that the problem is you.
this is a fan-made video, so you don’t get to see the hotness that is Ms. Phair. but still, we might consider this the revival of ’90s Rock Chick Crush of the Week. go listen to her song “Flower” and I guarantee you’ll be feelin’ it.
*I might like Whip-Smart even better, but this made the bigger splash at the time and it’s seminal as shit.
Coffee and Cigarettes / Jim Jarmusch
I have never loved smoking as much as I do this semester. this photo = porn to me. plus Camel Lights have been my brand since small times. unph.
Don’t come to America if you are in love, happy, fed and working. You’ll find none of those here as far as I can see… Nails still red; divine lounging pajamas… Hair shorter and tightly curled, beginning to look like you had hoped for—spectacular—-only a lady withal… What is your idea of love? Have you chosen men only? …Write soon—remember sweetness… recall the warm—-life is simply ghastly.

“But she was seventeen now and not actually dumb. She knew that you could love somebody more than anything and still not love the person all that much, if you were busy with other things.”
― Jonathan Franzen, Freedom
O God Your Morning Is Perfect… I Am Frightened that My Prayer Will Fall Into My Mind. Somewhere This Morning Agony Is Explained. I Am Trying To Know You In The Kitchen Where I Sit. I Fear My Small Heart. I Cannot Understand Why My Arm Is Not A Lilac Tree. I Am Frightened Because Death Is Your Idea. Now I Do Not Think It Behooves Me To Describe Your World.

These albums are polar opposites with regard to their recording, production, and instrumentation. We hope you enjoy the tracks from them.
one of these albums is almost named after my boyfriend…
