This is pretty amazing.  Though the music makes it sound somewhat apocalyptic.

I’m fantasizing about buying a car in the next few weeks, and with that in mind, I decided to make a mixtape of sorts.  Originally it was all going to be music released this year, but that didn’t work so well, so it’s now a real mixed bag.  This is totally what I’ll be playing on my way back from the city.

1. Blood Red Shoes - The Silence and the Drones

2. Beach Fossils - Shallow

3. Howler - Told You Once

4. Be Your Own Pet - October, First Account

5. Broken Social Scene - Looks Just Like the Sun

6. Neon Indian - Polish Girl

7. Klaxons - Golden Skans

8. No Joy - You Girls Smoke Cigarettes?

9. Yuck - Suck

10. The Joy Formidable - Whirring

Scared out my fuckin’ crooked soul.

• That sometimes human beings have to just sit in one place and, like,hurt.
• That it is simply more pleasant to be happy than to be pissed off.
• That it takes great personal courage to appear weak.
• That no single, individual moment is and of itself unendurable.
• That having a lot of money does not immunize people from suffering or fear.
• That trying to dance sober is a whole different kettle of fish.
• That, perversely, it is often more fun to want something than to have it.
• That having sex with someone you don’t care for is lonelier than not having sex in the first place, afterwards. 
• That there might not be angels, but there are people who might as well be.

David Foster Wallace was smart enough to blind us all with his brilliance if he so chose, instead his incredibly genuine and earnest desire to communicate casts it as this comforting warmth, like when the heat from the sun warms right through to your belly.  His words spark so much in my own head sometimes I can barely contain myself.  All in the best possible way.

dictionaryofobscuresorrows:

n. the surge of energy upon catching a glance from someone you like—a thrill that starts in your stomach, arcs up through your lungs and flashes into a spontaneous smile—which scrambles your ungrounded circuits and tempts you to chase that feeling with a kite and a key.
