of love and heartbreak. loss and redemption. hope and despair.

Finished "Will You Be There?" by Guillaume Musso. It's similar to The Time Traveler's Wife in that this also uses time travel as a plot tool. While not as page turning as TTTW, it is a simple and lovely story in it's own right that I quite loved. Also, finished When We Were Orphans by Kazuo Ishiguro. A love story subtly woven into one set in the forties, where crime reared it's ugly forehead and a detective takes centrestage in this novel. His unique narration as provided by the main character takes some time getting used to, after which it provides a new perspective. However, plot is quite loose in my opinion, but nevertheless, I thought the character development of the protaganist was well fleshed out.

Au Revoir Simone - Dark Halls

Anberlin - Retrace

YACHT - Summer Song

this is the most rad, and funkiest music video ever. holy crikey. awesome song too.

Calhoun - The Earth Has Lost Its Hold
the link directs you to the artist page, so all you have to do is choose the abovementioned song and play it.
while i haven't figured the entire lyrics (can't seem to find them anywhere either), but so far it seems to be about the earth?
"ever doubt our fears, they disappear
and the earth, she's losing her hold"

Anberlin - The Unwinding Cable Car
