december.

i wrote this awhile ago..

it's weird to me that christmas is coming up. something doesn't feel like the holiday season to me. it's not necessarily a bad thing, sometimes this time of the year is a bit too gaudy for me. but right now, i'm pretty happy. i'm sitting on my couch and i'm comforted by local philadelphia commercials. a lo of them are for some weird phone-sex-dating service. thank you comedy central, i'm not that lonely.

maybe i should just go ahead and post my december playlist. i don't know if i blogged about this before.. but i've been making playlists every month. mixes that describe how i was feeling this month, songs that liked, or whatever. i may add to this blog as the month goes on.. because it feels incomplete at this point.

i believe in us (this holiday) - a rocket to the moon the only thing i want is you to be here.
i. love. this. song. i just heard it and it's already one of my christmas favorites. it's just so cute and perfect and nick has gone such a long way! 

a long december (cover) - bayside it's all a lot of oysters, and no pearls.
i'm obsessed with this cover. i think i like it as much as the original song. i also love bayside in general. if you don't know them, you should really listen. the acoustic album is a gem.

baby, come on (acoustic) - +44 quit crying your eyes out and baby, come on.
i just like this song. it was really good to listen to when i was in a shitty mood earlier in december. it's a little depressing, but whatever. it was temporarily applicable.

ragged wood - fleet foxes you should come back home, back on your own now.
this is actually a very spring-y song, but i really like it anyway. i listened to it alot while writing shitty papers.

coney island -  good old war maybe that's why i still love it here.
i listened to this while rolling into 30th street station the other day and it just felt perfect. even though the song isn't even about philadelphia, it was very applicable. good old war is from philly though, so that's cool. this band is also really good.

bittersweet symphony - ace enders and a million different people you're a slave to the money, then you die.
best cover song of all time. seriously, this is an incredible song. i'm obsessed with it. i can't say it enough. go buy it on itunes- it's worth it. all your favorite artists sing on it. but ace is the best. 

merry christmas baby - brighten because it's christmas and this is where she needs to be.
my favorite christmas song. of course it has to be on the december playlist!

videotape - radiohead you are my center when i spin away.
so trippy. 

i'm actually in florida now.
