i've been chasing cars all night
add maren celest and john hansen together, throw in some ukes, chord organs, clarinets, sugary harmonies and you have photographers.
located in chicago, il (that face when someone is doin something good for something you rep? i have that now -my town) and both are quite good in the photo dept (hence the name. got it? good). besides that - they are a bit of a mystery. here is what i do know: they are dating, both also have solo music projects, they are playing barn show saginaw july 15 and green mill uptown poetry slam august 21 and that you can find them here:
http://photographersmusic.com/weare

photographers // ursa minor from describe the fauna on Vimeo.
you can find their most recent EP ursa minor, as well as their full length album you can't die in the living room on bandcamp, as well as itunes. i think this comment sums their magic up pretty well:
"it's that point in your life when everything is at it's own peak of problems and in the midst of screaming at yourself, you stop to hear the other folks laughing in their gardens, chasing their chickens, or ding-dong-ditching the neighbors. The sense of blissfully unaware of yourself is the precise way of knowing who you are, and what you can do to become yourself to the certain extent of life opportunities. basically in a nutshell, that is what this band is."

tv, burn my mind
i fucking love tv. yeah, i said it!
none of that "throw away your television" bs here! i stand by your side, electronic box of joy.
seriously guys. college = a 1:3 ratio, school to netflix viewing & sleeping.
I'VE JUST ACCEPTED WHAT I'VE BECOME. - that's the first step, that's what i hear anyways.
but, let me just say, there are some things i don't understand.
ONE
dexter and deb are married in real life?!!!!! (now divorced) WHAT. i got through 6 seasons... in one month... and didn't know that ALL ALONG. until 2 episodes were left in the season. all those brotherly/sisterly moments now have underlying sexual tension....
do i need to watch them all over again? what is life?
TWO
i found myself googling "30 rock isn't funny" today. this bothers me because... it's a common fact that... 30 rock is funny. here i am, subconsciously googling it to rationalize a) am i crazy? missing obvious humor? have no sense of humor? b) maybe i just don't find tina fey funny c) do i not get to join the 30 rock cult following now? help, i need something to grasp onto since a certain show is over, h e l p. which leads me to my next point....
THREE (this is me embarrassing myself, YOU'RE WELCOME)
i am OBSESSED with glee. i said it. i actually don't know how to put the degree of severeness of that statement into words... maybe with this....
after months and months of hating on my roommates every tuesday for watching it... that jingle... those corny, belting musical numbers... now. i'm in. i blame fleetwood mac... anyone that knows me knows that i come included with a fleetwood mac soundtrack. everywhere i go. THIS IS HOW IT HAPPENED. when the episode rumours aired i was in my room and i heard 'i don't wanna know' blaring from the living room. i was done for. i started at the very beginning and now, look at me. i love their horrible dancing. i love jane lynch. i love mr. schue's extensive vest collection. i love santana lopez. I LOVE THEM ALL (well, kinda, i'll go into that at another date) and, the worst thing is i can't stop... i'm sorry. actually i'm not sorry. who writes jane lynch's lines? i award you with a lifetime achievement, you no further need to accomplish anything else (ever), award. THANK YOU. i'll end with this: (i think i crafted it in my brain while i was sleeping, then it somehow showed up online via funnyordie. dreams do come true) ain't nothin but a glee thang, baby. h8 on me h8rs

alla fine, l'inizio
it's the last day of the year,
you didn't think we'd leave you alone without saying one final thing, did you?
well, lovelies. for me, december 31st is one of those mornings i like to wake up slow - realizing how fast the year went, as do most people. damn... it's DONE. but, it's also one of those kind of amazing times. you know in movies when everything goes to complete shit for the protagonist and there's a montage of them getting their life together with some really uplifting, awesome song? THIS IS THAT. except it's a state of mind in preparation for an even better version of your non-movie character self.
so, i guess i start with some resolutions (gag). well, i can't say i've ever kept mine... but i am going to keep them realistic this year. just a few tweaks here and there. the big stuff too, but i'll let that be a more gradual process. point is this is one giant excuse for you to feel refreshed, recollect. it's like going to sleep, ready to get rid of the mind trip of an old day and start a new one except in YEAR form. it's pretty cool.
even though my yearly horoscope forecast revolves around "responsibility" (sigh), i am ready to go full throttle to make this year so so rad. i know everyone says that, in various ways, but maybe we can all make 2011 our year. it'll be one big world of awesome.
basically: become your own boss. and own it! let's use this invisible division of time as an excuse to become even more ourselves... aka better, even more badass, boozie ass bitches.
alexi says it wonderfully here on boycrazy. no waiting for what you want, ya hear?
happy new year!
we'll see you in 2011.
<3 m & the lush ladies

deck those halls.
how good does being hungover feel exactly? AWESOME. do you know why? ....
well, friends. this all indicates that FINALS ARE OVER. LIFE CAN RESUME. i woke up at 4:30 today head throbbing, with my last fm looking like this (see below) and i can totally lay in bed watching daria all day (and prob will) with nothing due! for the next month!
to correspond with my emy baby's list, here's my sinfully over materialistic/lolololol/$19,000 dollar mcqueen rug christmas list. if you've got cash and love in your hearts, i DO have a mailing address.
--> jean paul gaultier teamed up with dr. martens in 2009 to make these lovely babies... i don't even think they are available anymore, but see i need them. where? tell me!
--> to live in here... ideally, the inside of my head looks like this all the time.
--> marc jacobs
--> miu miu glitter oxfords
--> alexander mcqueen rugs

but really don't need any of it, it's enough that i'm going home tomorrow for the first time in 4 months. that's perfect in itself. i miss so much about it. so many people. and a reunion with the lush babes? indeed. happy holiday season everyone.
