they tried to stay in from the cold and wind

My cat does not know me when we meet a block away from home, and I gather from his expression that I’m not supposed to know him, either.

- Guy Davenport in The Geography of the Imagination



Feist - Gatekeeper
Read a book by the fireside, drinking a nice warm cuppa while a light snow's going on outside. That's what this song is.

French Horn Rebellion - Broken Heart
Extremely cute and fun song/video which sees them doing random dance stuff, not helped by another random guy "jacking off" a mustard sauce bottle and subsequently with an extra tomato sauce bottle. Totally in the vein of the other video for the song Up All Night. Very preppish pop fun. I like the bandana, makes him look like some old school comic character.

Feist and Ben Gibbard - Train Song
Brilliant cover of Vashti Bunyan's classic. Ben Gibbard is frontman of The Postal Service and husband of Zooey Deschanel.
