Yesterday: I went sledding with friends down a hill in the neighborhood, and it was just the best.

Now: the snow is still falling on an icy Ballard. It’ll be an evening of Sharon Van Etten and old fashioned books with pages.

True Dream

—You Are The Stars

You know that moment when someone hands you a record by a musician you’ve never heard of, and you turn it on, and plug in your headphones, and then FREAK OUT because you love it so much, from the very first moment right through to the very end?

THIS IS HAPPENING TO ME RIGHT NOW! I have chosen the sappiest song to share with you, as usual.

I’m apparently two months late to this party, but dang. True Dream. Indeed. Please go watch the video on the website too. So good!

(thanks Ryan, as always)
