The Cranberries
The Cranberries - Dreams
Despite the fact that this song has weird ass yodeling parts, I like it as much today as when I first heard it 16 years ago. Say what you will about the Cranberries, but that is a remarkable feat.
“We are so distracted by and engulfed by the technologies we’ve created, and by the constant barrage of so-called information that comes our way, that more than ever to immerse yourself in an involving book seems socially useful… The place of stillness that you have to go to to write, but also to read seriously, is the point where you can actually make responsible decisions, where you can actually engage productively with an otherwise scary and unmanageable world.”

Jonathan Franzen interview in Time.
The irony of posting this quote on a blog is not lost on me. But regardless, I do need to read more. I’ve fallen out of the habit as of late. A quiet place conducive to responsible decisions sounds really appealing right now.

Bieber made Better
I’ve been out on a lake for the last couple of days and have only now been introduced to two remixes of Justin Bieber that are simply incredible.
If you haven’t heard them yet, drop everything and listen to the Death Mix and Bieber slowed down 800 percent.
God bless the internet.
