Hear Ta Listen

We Both Go Down Together
The Decemberists: Picaresque
I love a good story. And spies. This song has both.
No Children
The Mountain Goats: Tallahasee
Catchy! And excellently, darkly funny.
Destroyer
The Stills: Without Feathers
Hee! This song is all catcy and happy, then you hear the phrase "I will destroy you."
I Summon You
Spoon: Gimme Fiction
Solid album - while waiting until this was cheap enough to buy, I investigated several older Spoon albums, and found that I love them.
The Bends
Radiohead: The Bends
Using my mad Ticketmaster skillz, I helped HF get tickets to this so very sold-out show next month. I forgot how great this album is.
Handle Me With Care
Jenny Lewis: Rabbit Fur Coat
Excellent cover.
The Way We Get By
Spoon: Kill the Moonlight

1. They are so in love. They are kind of dumb, yes, but they seem like good people, and they fit kind of well together. That's exactly who she should be with, no? Yes, he's a drama queen, and clearly torn, as all 20 year old boys are, between a sure thing and that hot brunette across the room. And yes, she's pretty awesome, but her life goal involves the words "teen" and "vogue." They bought each other very thoughtful Christmas presents, and seem to have fun together. Plus, to the extent they create relationship drama, they both seem to enjoy that, too.

2. If you disagree that they are totally in love and MEANT TO BE, then I still think she should shack up. She's been yo-yo-ing to Jason and away for literally years. He's that high school guy that you never really break up from because you don't remember not having him around, and if you really really break up you won't know who you are. Maybe it's time for her to break free! But if so, I think living with him could be a great test of that. Are they just a high school couple, or are they MEANT TO BE? One way to find out is to smell his feet every day, and see just how long it takes her to get ready.

3. The internship isn't that big a deal. First of all, Lauren is rich. I'm sure she will spend some time in Paris eventually. Second, I'm not too worried about her career advancement.

4. Jason is, admittedly, a jealous, lazy asshat. However, I don't think you give him enough credit. He was the hot rich guy at his hot rich high school, and then MTV came and made a reality show that sort of focused a lot on how they were all hot and rich. I amazed he has any normal traits at all, that can mess a kid up. Plus, he's young yet, he can grow out of those things. And, Lauren does a pretty good job calling him on it, which is great, and a sign that they are MEANT TO BE.

In conclusion, I love that show and I love their love, and I love how shiny and pretty it all is. Lauren + Jason 4-eva! WOO!!!!!
