Seriously, this is good advice if one is ever a terrorism victim. Serious.
Dizzee Rascal in Interesting ways
In my post-present boredom, I have compiled a collection of English Grime artist Dizzee Rascal, and his more interesting of places. Here we go
1. http://hypem.com/track/608023/Dizzee+Rascal-That%27s+Not+My+Name+(Ting+Tings+Cover)
2. http://hypem.com/track/673570/The+BPA-ToeJam+David+Byrne+%26+Dizzee+Rascal+Dirty- Less prominent role in this one, very fun though. BPA is actually just Norman...
Mobb Deep vs. Sigur Ros - Shook. →
This some classy shit right here.
I am adding this to the list
The Raincoats eponymous album, its quite good as well, and I got it once I woke up. The more hyphens in the genre, the more I like it; especially when those hypens connect lo to fi and post to punk, like The Raincoats do, amongst others.
Two Albums for My Early Morning
1. Ryan Bingham - Mescalito
Especially the songs: Sunshine, Sunrise, and Southside of Heaven
This one appeals to 3 am Brennan’s desire for folksy-rockabilly-country. The raw American style simplicity harps on my love of Rick Rubin/Johnny Cash style country, but it swings more, and as far as I can tell, is all original. Also no looming death.

“I think flowers should be forbidden for children”
– Slavoj Zizek
List of favorite things
Arthur Schopenhauer - Specifically The World as Will and Ideas, of which I have a rudimentary understanding. He still makes the list.
Postmodernism - DFW RIP. Gone but not forgotten…
Punnery - Pretty sure I made up that word. Possibly related to some sort of row.
Seeming smart/ things that are stereotypically intellectual - New Yorker, The Economist, collared shirts with sweaters,...
