i know i look high, but i'm just free dancing

Little sis, Cristobal, and myself were finally reunited today. I've had several long days and even longer nights recently, so I was so glad to be off work today. I put on this ensemble to run a few errands and grab some corn and raspas.
On the way over there, we listened to Devendra Banhart's album What Will Be. I've been listening more and more to this particular album and I'm developing a bit of a crush for it. It's stands apart in sound from his other stuff - in a good way. I love that he experiments, which is why my Devendra Banhart phase continues. I'm obsessed. (Oh no, that's never good!) The song I'm about to post is from that album and is a great song to listen to on the road with the window down (just don't forget the star shaped sunglasses).

la possibilite d'une ile

we had a regional visit at work today. needless to say, i'm exhausted. i was hoping to post my generational's review tonight but there are just too many photos to review. i'm behind on posts. i'm behind on life - i should know french by now. i want to sing along to Carla Bruni and understand what it is i'm singing.
i enjoy listening to the song i'm about to post. i don't know what she's saying, but it's very pretty.

working in the corner...waiting for my time to come

lykke li inspired today's outfit. i love this photo of her and her song "i'm good, i'm gone."

ain't the only one havin' fun

Every now and then, you come across performances so good and so alive that they explain the evolutionary purpose of music, shows, and beer of course (apparently, more than just a beverage - a good way to pump up the crowd and subsequently get that 'just out of the shower' look. See photos above). Two nights ago was one of those nights. 

Turbo Fruits and Pujol both from Nashville came down to good ol' Laredo with good set-lists and evidently the determination to rock our pants off. In fact, I'm almost certain that had I inappropriately searched their pockets, I would have found a similar "to do" list in every single one with the same number one priority: "Show Laredo a Fucking Amazing Time." 

I'm pretty sure they've all scratched it off the list now. The night was perfection. Nope, wouldn't change a thing. It was the sort of night that assures you the cosmos had something to do with it. The cosmos were somehow responsible for making sure all the ingredients were in order for an awesome time. The music was good, the people had soul, and the dance moves were impeccable. What more could you ask for? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. If you missed it, here's what you should be asking for - a recollection of the night:

i just can't sit around and wait for you...

I can't sit around and wait for you. Just another cup of coffee, I'll sit around and wait for you. Just one more cigarette, I'll sit around and wait for you. I guess I really will, I'll sit around and wait for you.

Haha. I love this song.
