“Susie Q,” Dale Hawkins (written by James Burton)

Just listened to NPR’s Fresh Air’s feature on James Burton — guitarist on this song (which ended up being credited to Dale Hawkins). Burton was a rockabilly bad-ass and an insanely prolific session musician….give it a listen.

Labs usually don’t start swimming until they’re at LEAST 3 months old, but Stella is a warrior! At 2 months, she just went all in, cruisin’ around otter-style…

Fascinating map of the distribution of language in the Iberian Peninsula.


Y por eso, hablo Castellano como una jefa.

Very much appreciated the Teen Girl Squad homage on last night’s “Don’t Trust the B in Apartment 23.”

YES. Teen Girl Squad!

“How Long Have You Known,” DIIV

A few reasons why, other than friend-bias, I dig this vid:

1. The fact that Devin’s shots are 100% hair cracks me up
2. I’ve always wanted to empty out a lava lamp
3. Cole looks so much like Johnny Lee Miller as Sick Boy in the last shot it’s creepy

The end.
