I got a lot of itches

Fri Jan 20
synecdoche: I was fifteen when this album came out and my favorite lyric in the whole world that year was “You seem so out of context in this gaudy apartment complex” and I have no idea why. +10 points for JFK references. I will continue to wait for a second album until I die. But at least they will live on in movie trailers? Iron & Wine’s cover of “Such Great Heights” on the Garden State soundtrack. STREETLIGHT MANIFESTO’S COVER. “Will someone please call a surgeon who can crack my ribs and repair this broken heart?” + “Your heart won’t heal right if you keep tearing out the sutures” = The Postal Service were pretty much the musical version of Grey’s Anatomy. If you didn’t swoon at the “I kissed you in a style Clark Gable would’ve admired” lyric then you were cold and dead inside. OH ALSO, “BRAND NEW COLONY” Ben Gibbard should have married Jenny Lewis instead of Zooey Deschanel. It’s weird that “I want life in every word to the extent that it’s absurd” wasn’t my yearbook quote in ‘05. I mean, in retrospect all of these lyrics were really stupid but whatever. Maybe The Postal Service were my Guns N Roses.  I could not agree more with this entire post.
