Wristcutters

I love the movies Tom Waits is in. But listen to this....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ch6x9iHlVHU&feature=related

Ever Have...

Ever have one of those days where everything in the world makes you crazy angry? Yeah. That's me today. I'm mad at my job, my boyfriend, my parents, myself, everything. Even though they did nothing to warrant this anger, I can't help but feel the need to take it out on people. That and the fact that they keep knocking on my door every five seconds to do something useless really isn't fucking helping. Today my theme song is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GJa-TUaJjU

Makes fuckin sense

But anyway the picture is my upcoming spring look. I know the colors are for fall but to be honest, I don't give a fuck. Saying that fashion has rules is like saying Britney Spears has good taste. It just is a straight up lie.

R.I.P. TWS

As I'm sure all of you know, The White Stripes are officially broken up. I just have one question: Is there any justice in the world? Answer: No, of course there isn't. There is still a chance for me to see Jack White in person (Bonnaroo here I come!), but now i will never see him in his true form, his domain. Although every band seems to be Mr. White's domain, I don't think any of them are as much of himself as The White Stripes. I remember the first time I heard them when I was 12 years old. That was a deciding point in my life, a moment where I said to myself, "Ok Abi, you can go with this, or you can keep on going the way you were before." Jack White's guitar playing changed the direction of my life forever. The year was 2004, the album was White Blood Cells. It was one of those moments where you either hated it, or loved it, and I loved it, to the bone. When he played the guitar, it sounded like he was talking, and I knew exactly what he was saying. I have The White Stripes to thank for my personality today. If I had not discovered them in my formitive years...I shudder to think what sort of Fall Out Boy band t-shirt emo swooping groupie I would have become. They introduced me to the blues, and it only got better from there. In the past six years, music has made it's way to my eardrums via friends, family, internet, and pure chance. All of the bands I have falling in and out of love with remain on my list of musical casualties, creating a ragged sort of time line. But throughout this battle trail of bands The White Stripes has appeared again and again, securing their spot as the reigning sound of my soul. Thank you Meg, Jack, you will be sorely missed.

The Raconteurs-Level (live)

Going to see The Kills in May, SO INCREDIBLY EXCITED. I have to thank my most wonderful friend Leumas (Samuel) because he is my musical soul. Thank you for getting those tickets babe! Allison Mosshart and Jamie Hince? Live? What? I think I might have a heart attack. But at least I have four months to plan my outfit. Is that enough time? I don't know, perhaps not....The powerful presence Allison conveys, even on web videos, even on a cd, I can't even begin to imagine what it will be like live. She's so raw, so amazingly pure in a way, when she sings she's shredded and torn and broken, but somehow that makes her radiant, and she's in control. She's strong, like rock and roll is supposed to be. She stands for something, and makes the rest of us little people want to stand with her as she drags us all snarling and biting to hell.
In the meantime Nicole and I took some pictures for my blog and lookbook. Here's a sample, more to come! Also some pictures of The Kills. Not that anyone is actually listening.

Back From Sweden, 2011

One of the worst feelings in the world is spending weeks and weeks, months maybe, looking forward to something, having it happen, and then when it's over you realize you have nothing to look forward to anymore. My second trip to Sweden began on the 27th of December, 2010, beginning at JFK (where i subsequently broke my hand) and ending at Arlanda, Stockholm. I hate JFK. If I can avoid booking from there for the rest of my life, I will. That has to be the most unorganized, confused, and absolutely insane airport I've ever been to. Plus now it has the negative memory of me breaking my hand outside it's doors. Wonderful. Anyhow, Sweden was beautiful, as always, a winter wonderland, filled with beautiful places and beautiful people. Being there definitely gives one the feeling of Vikinghood. Good food, good beer, Christmas lights, log cabins. Moose. Romantic in a very Scandinavian sort of way. New Years was a small dissapointment, as the boyfriend got extremely sick (and only for one day!), but it would be pointless to go to a New Years party without your significant other! So I decided to drink and take care of him, which worked out decidedly well :-). He made up for it by making a beautiful "prom" dinner, which afterwards we danced in the candle light. Thank you baby! Here are some pictures from this trip...perhaps it will give you an idea of the magic that happens when too much booz and too much snow are combined :-).

haha, YES

My dreams have come true. Jack White + Allison Mosshart...IN THE SAME BAND!? AT THE SAME TIME?! I weep with joy. When I found out about The Dead Weather I was so happy, I was literally shaking for about an hour. Maybe two. I'm very excited for this summer, when their first album comes out. I've already heard their first single and their cover of that Gary Numan song. They sound great, like all of the bands that were put together are being represented and it doesn't clash. But that's not really suprising, every single one of the people in that band is incredibly talented. AAAAH. Yes!
