Mashup of the Day
Mighty Mike - “City Down Under”
(M83 vs. Men At Work)That flute part really complements the song well.
Other than this compilation of all the times Tom DeLonge has sang “time” in his nasally, alien-loving voice (spoiler alert: he says “time” so much), this is the best things I’ve heard all day.

The Empire of Flowers
The following is part of a collaboration between myself and one of the most eager, funny writers I’ve met via Tumblr, Vernon Carter Ross. Aside from his liberal use of the words “fashow” and “dope” (I went there, Vernon, and I kind of apologize), he is definitely one of the more interesting and passionate writers I’ve collaborated with on here and I encourage you all to read some of his many short stories (also: he posts on here WAY more than I do) Below is my part of a collaboration on flowers and humanity; I’ll post Vernon when he’s good and ready with his. — tim

Want Free Music, Ya Jerks?
I found 5 old, blank CDs today. It was a cool find even though one might be too scratched up, but I’m opening the floor to you all:
Send me a message. Write some of your favorite artists and I’ll make a mix. Write some words that describe the kind of music you like and I’ll try to match them up with corresponding songs. Write a short story and I’ll make a soundtrack to it. The first five that send me a message that I really like, I’ll make a CD for you.
We’ll figure out a way to send the CD to you and it’ll rule.
We’re down to four, possibly three. Cool ideas thus far. Coolest CD concept/words/ideas will get a prize or my virtual respect. Probably the latter.
EDIT: Down to two, two already made. Hoorah.

What A Catch, Donnie — Fall Out Boy
I got troubled thoughts,
And the self-esteem to match.
What a catch, what a catch…
Who were the masterminds that decided to end school for the year, have everyone graduate, people move away, and have my favorite TV shows face huge writing changes/end for the season/end permanently, all in the month of May? All in one month? Really?
May, you’re too cruel to me. Have some overly dramatic Fall Out Boy while I become a feeling consumer.

So a DJ from the station I work at sent me a quote from a LMFAO song…for no reason whatsoever.
Oh.
Okay.

dartneis asked: Tim, you're the best. I just thought you should know that.
Laurance; as always, you’re too kind. Thank you, friend. We should talk very soon about your extravagant life and times in the land of tea and not-American football!

The Takedown byYellowcard
Album: Paper Walls
I was about to post the song “Paper Walls” from the same album. Yes, the album closer, the sad one, the one about never letting go and staying friends with ones you love. I guess I decided I couldn’t post that.
I hate to post so bluntly about my life onto your Tumblr dashboard, but today was a culmination of roughly two years, so spare me a few waxing paragraphs. I made a decision today. A real, big, possibly stupid decision. For a year and a half, I talked about how unhappy I was with college, with the way life didn’t become dramatically good or bad post-high school, but about middle of the road or subpar. I became more okay with my education this past year, but I kept bringing up studying away and getting out of my college town. I thought about going to California, to be exact.
Today, I put my money where my mouth is. About $400 to be exact. I crossed a goal off my list and bought a ticket to a giant Californian music festival called Coachella taking place in April 2013. As of now, I don’t have a studying away school secured, no Californian friends to go with me, no car to drive down there…nothing but a ticket to Weekend 1 of Coachella. To be blunt, I’m partially fucked. And part of me would be okay with playing the slow, closing song lamenting about friends and life right now. But, as sentimental as I am, it’d be a disservice to this day. It’d be wrong to this awesome, exciting fear in me right now. This is one of the feelings I was hoping I’d feel as college student: untethered curiosity. I’m going in this blind, scared, and possibly down $400. But this is what planning a future should feel like. It shouldn’t be a conveyor belt, simply rolling through the standard steps until graduation, career, death. It should be that same conveyor belt, except run by a cracked out conductor with a heart of gold, presenting you with forks and turns and absofuckinglutely huge rips in the belt to guide you into the most satisfying You you can muster.
This song’s called The Takedown. It kept me sane when I used to drive to high school. Now, it seems a little reinvented, pertinent to this moment as some memorable music tends to do. Right now, I’m just happy I got all of these thoughts into words. From here? I’m excited to see where it all goes.

Coachella Ticket.
I just bought one for Weekend 1.
This isn’t me bragging. This is more a “I’m actually surprised they didn’t sell out 30 seconds before I could get a ticket” post.
Also, anyone want to be my friend and be my camping buddy for the weekend?

And I’m going to attempt to drop $400 today to get a ticket to this.
I think this about sums up my feelings.
