Music: The Sea and Cake

The Sea and Cake are so smooth. What a great sound. Their song "Weekend" reminds me of being a teenager and all the good times I had. Mad props to my homies Adam and Leif.

THE SEA AND CAKE - Weekend



The Sea and Cake - Sound and Vision



"The Sea and Cake is an indie rock band with a pronounced jazz influence, which formed in the mid-1990s in Chicago out of the ashes of local bands The Coctails and Shrimp Boat. The group's name came from a willful reinterpretation (in the wake of an accidental miscomprehension) of "The C in Cake", a song by Gastr del Sol." -- Wikipedia

Brilliant and funny in an odd kind of way.

The history of that moment was not marked by our fear, but by our power to help each other. What a story!

This looks like a bad ass movie that pulls on your heart strings. I'll probably see it in theaters.

"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen." -- Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

What a fun beat. Miami Horror really knows how to make you dance.

Music: "Kale"

Something about this video stuck with me (especially the 2:04 mark). A few guys I know would say all women do this with the things they believe you like more than them: friends, sports, video games... etc. Thoughts?
