I'm so behind the sentiment, my only regret is that I didn't write it first... oh well.

All I Want For Christmas is...

Also.....

Kid Cudi = Quite Good, especially when remixed with Columbia's favorite rockers.

Speaking of Vampire Weekend, they have a pretty interesting new b-side, California English Pt. 2, that is worth a listen.

And this track takes Lollipop and returns in a stupor of... Ecstasy.

Cheers,

GGGlee.

Gossip Girl = amazing. In particular, this recording of Anya Marina covering Whatever You Like by T.I. is excellent.

And in other news, Glee continues to impress, raising disability awareness and showing Sue has a heart all at the same time.

JK.

Where The Wild Things Are (Maybe in Iceland?)

The Where the Wild Things are teaser trailer is a work of art unto itself. Arcade Fire + Picturesque landscape= mile high expectations for the movie. The only disappointment is that Wake Up isn't featured on the soundtrack- but I have to imagine Karen O will do a fine job. Remember that catchy song she sang which played over the cool adidas commercial for their smart shoes? Turns out Spike Jonze directed that too.

Anyways, the WTWTA trailer is perhaps only rivaled by the incredibly beautiful Glosoli video by Sigur Ros. Who doesn't love watching icelandic children fly off a cliff? Max certainly seems able to join them. Watch the two back to back-- amazing.

Rich Harvard, Poor Harvard

The article by Nina Munk found here is a fantastically well done piece on how Harvard was affected by the financial crisis. Definitely worth a read.

From North Dakota to New York

I've begun this blog to comment on events in both the world and my new hometown, NYC. The trip from North Dakota high schooler to New York freshman has been fantastic-- this blog will represent my journey further.
