Two Favorite Songs

I’ve been up all night drinking with Anna and Philipp—that guy’s actually lived through everything—but somehow I’m still wired. Won’t last much longer. The weather’s absolute shit, so these two songs have basically become my whole rotation right now.

Kate Nash’s The Nicest Thing is the obvious move when you haven’t slept and everything’s gray. It just pulls you under. Then The Last Shadow Puppets came through with The Age Of The Understatement, and I didn’t expect to feel this way about it. It’s one of those songs that destroys you completely, then launches you upward. Tears first, then rush. That’s been my whole cycle.
