Mix Tape by Brand New
I still think this is one of my favorite songs.
I got a twenty-dollar bill that says no one’s ever seen you without makeup. You’re always made up. And I’m sick of your tattoos, and the way you always criticize the Smiths… and Morrissey. And I know that you’re a sucker for anything acoustic. But when I say let’s keep in touch, I really mean I wish that...

Old Favorites
I’ve been spending some time going back through my Twitter. I’m on the cusp of 2,000, and it’s fun just to go back two years and just reread. I think I’m going to post some of my favorites just for fun. It’s not like anyone reads my tumblr anyway. So here are some of my favorites (not by me, just favorited).

Bring It On - The Gaslight Anthem

Being co-editor-in-chief of this publication (the gosh darn thing was established in 1918) has already changed me as a...
