whispers from midnight

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

You ever find one of those songs you hear once, fall in love with, get chills by the final notes and have to listen to over again?

I’ve relistened to this song several times already. It’s gorgeous in that melancholy, haunting way that completely sticks with you. Well, me at least.

This is Everyman by The Guggenheim Grotto, from their album Happy The Man.

Peppermint by Asher Brooks. Asher’s a member at a private music forum I frequent, and if you like it, I’d highly recommend picking up a copy of his album from http://cdbaby.com/cd/asherbrooks and supporting him.

Lose You, Track 5 from Pete Yorn’s first album, musicforthemorningafter. A personal favorite.

Vegassing

I’m aware of the fact that ‘Vegas’ is not a verb, but I intend to use it as such anyway.

I flew in yesterday. My flight was fairly uneventful, by which I mean there was no turbulence, no terrorists, and no snakes.

I’m staying with my sister and her husband and their six kids, and they’re great. I’ve been horribly out of touch with my dad’s side of the family and therefore half of my siblings, so it’s really great to be able to get to know them.

Since I don’t gamble, drink alcohol, or watch strangers take off their clothing, Vegas is not exactly filled with things that immediately sound interesting, but there’s more hiding underneath the surface that should keep me busy.

The Frantics - Boot To The Head This is a classic sketch from Canadian comedy team The Frantics. It uses visuals taken from the Phoenix Wright video games, but you don’t have to have played them to get it. So classic.

I’m really starting to like this artist (Jason Chan). You can probably see why.

Very dark and grim and awesome.

“ 1492. As children we were taught to memorize this year with pride and joy as the year people began living full and imaginative lives on the continent of North America. Actually, people had been living full and imaginative lives on the continent of North America for hundreds of years before that. 1492 was simply the year sea pirates began to rob, cheat, and kill them.
