building up a castle in LA

I have rigged up my baby to an external mouse and keyboard for now. That's working well until she can get fixed up all nice and pretty next week. But I can handle this because...

I HAVE A LEAK OF THE FULL-LENGTH WOLFGANG AMADEUS PHOENIX ALBUM.

Intensity, you have absolutely no idea how much I am freaking out about this. Thank you.

My feelings for Phoenix can be explained like this: I have paid money for all of their albums. The only other bands I have done this for are The Shins and Sufjan Stevens. They are classed in my iTunes as "Frenchy Pop Bliss." My dad texted me way past his bedtime that he stayed up to watch them on SNL for me. Phoenix got me through being sick in foreign countries and the resulting tonsillectomy. Watching the "Consolation Prizes" music video on IMF while on a whole lot of Vicodin following that surgery was insane.

Watch it youself:


I'm twitching with excitement as I listen to this. I am ecstatic over this.

Guess what.

I LOVE PHOENIX.

    I will never forget the night that Denis yelled up the stairs to inform us The Shins were on SNL and he cemented his position in my heart.

    One time at the Smiths, Natalie was asleep, and I was watching old seasons of "The OC" and being bored. Then Dr. Tom ran downstairs to get me because Death Cab was on SNL back in the days when I looooved them. It was great.

    Also, I totally understand how you love my dad. He's pretty awesome.
