Snippets of Colbert Wisdom.

I would support the robbery of Paris Hilton. this is why:
make the most of robbing Paris Hilton.
HE WAS A NEGRO.
plant a pointing hand in the face of the United States.
Minnesota would be proud.
a river ran through that cold city, regressed, repressed, digressed, and far away from the east coast and far from the west coast, cold and blue-lit by the moon.
wings lit up by pill-bottle lights, orange, blue, cold, plastic.
he deserves it. little toy lights on the ground. hidden between paper hills.
Paris Hilton. he should see it. I bet her blinds are down when she flies.

Memorial Day

Sometimes it's hard to choose between blogging and going outside. It's easier when the weather's this nice ... and you don't have a computer.

Emily Gould, are you reading this?

L'été, verano, summer

Soundtracks for the seasons, eh? Well last summer was an interesting mix of reggae, Devendra Banhart, Kings of Leon, Iron & Wine, and various Trey Anastasio songs my friend tried to get me into on a drive from Colorado to Connecticut.

For the record, I strongly dislike Phish and anything musically involving Mr. Anastasio. (no offense, Phil.)

This summer is going to be a little different. The staples of summer will resume, of course, along with a recent finding of the Big Chill soundtrack on vinyl at a thrift store (Motown is most appropriate in warm weather).

I'm planning on late night listening sessions, my turntable running until it can't run anymore, iPod in the car, blasting Desmond Dekker, Derrick Harriott, driving downtown, too fast on highways, to and from work, etc.

As summer soundtracks are always the most memorable, feel free to comment with your favorite summer songs and I'll be sure to check them out.

Just a few from summers past:
Dereck Trucks Band - "Sahib Teri Bandi"
Wilco - "Sunken Treasure"
Cody ChesnuTT - "When I Find Time"
Derrick Harriott - "Let Me Down Easy"
