Synesthesia is a neurological phenomenon where one’s sensory crosses, like being able to smell colours. It pretty much allows this video to be the most whimsical thing you’ll see all day. The music is pretty haunting (via Notcot)
A song I wrote quite a bit ago
you’re on my favourites list
i’m tired of this friendless ness
i like how we talk over skype
and trade hi fives on the screen at night
you’re on my favourites list
it’s kind of direct that i told you this
i’m not a freak or anything
um maybe since i picked this topic to sing
oh i’m mostly alone
i was that kid you knew
that ate the glue
oh i’m glad we chat though
or i’d be rotting
my blood slowly clotting
you’re on my favourites list
your attraction i can’t resist
oh did i just say that
now i feel like an asshat
oh, let’s move on from that
check out this 90’s song
all about thongs
oh this is awkard
but when friendships are new
it’s bound to be true
Cute. Reminds me of Ze Frank’s Social Network for Two?
Pork and Beans - Weezer
The music video is EPIC.
For najmetender, rocknrollempire, sylvia and tinytractor (because shoes girl makes an appearence) and mothertoad because she always posts weird stuff like this.

“Labor Of Love”
Star Trek (2009)From the scene where George Kirk sets the U.S.S. Kelvin for a collision course with Nero’s ship, and in the span of a minute or so picks a name out for his son - Jim - and tells his wife Winona that he loves her. Truly one of the most heartbreaking scenes from the entire Trek oeuvre.
Love love love this track.
This was a brilliant scene, and the track worked wonderfully — just the right mix of poignancy and triumph.

Our hell ends every weekend
But it’s all I have to believe in
Gonna hang onto this tune as I prepare to book into a new camp and face new levels of shit
