feel the music

Chan Marshall....

aaaaaaaaaaaaah. graduate school is disgusting, i really wouldnt wish it on anyone. i was supposed to attend a fabulous brunch today, but instead am cooped up in my apartment on my computer working on a final exam for my psychopathology class,,, drinking jasmine green tea and listening to cat power on vinyl. her album, free is so damn good. i think it is def the most under-recognized albums; especially since the lovely eddie veder does back up vocals on one of the songs which makes me tear up everytime. i am excited for tonight though, it will be a good distraction from my papers. hutch and i are going to boston to see dizzee rascal, el-p and bus driver. i LOVE dizzee rascal.
i was thinking the other day about a couple of my inspirations for style that have pretty much been constants in my mind for awhile now. you know how when you see someone you get a sort of warmth inside? i feel like that when i think of this woman. there will be more to come, but for now, Erykah Badu. you are YOU.
(i realize that my blog is a bit lacking in the inspiration for the boys, it will come.....right now i just need to be selfish and fulfill my own needs)
