Glad I Couldn't Sleep

Instead I downloaded Jose Gonzalez Veneer and melted.

It reminds me exactly of how I felt when we spent Fall break our senior year in Rachel's grandmother's house on the sound in Norfolk. We all got flea bites and drank liquor and listened to Weezer. I missed out on the Mormon-style orgy and we ate at a *different* Nawab. I cried on the beach for reasons I would not admit for four more months.

Maybe he reminds me of Jon MacCarthy, whose album and phone call I am still eagerly awaiting.

I love, love, love his cover of The Knife's "Heartbeats." I can't wait to see him at the Pitchfork Music Fest this summer.
