Monday Mix Tapes: You Never Could Have Been a Good Lover

I'm pretty sure I was in love with this new Blood Orange by 15 seconds in. And while Dev Hynes could pretty much be singing about anything, and I'd still think he sounded great, these lyrics in particular fuel my obsession. They're hilarious and awful and true. ("You never could have been a good lover/ Watch what you say/ Could never mean a word and still hurt you")

Oh, Dev Hynes, you're good enough for me (but my standards were low anyway):




Then, fitting with my love of all things Alice in Wonderland, I stumbled across this weird, beautiful little gem (via disco naivete). Looking forward to hearing more from Mononoke after hearing this:





I'm a little late to the game with the latest Arctic Monkeys album (it came out in September, so in Internet time, I'm YEARS behind). But damn if I'm not listening to the whole thing, and this song in particular, "Do I Wanna Know?" on repeat. My bf Sam Smith also does an incredible cover of this, making me suddenly start to think being in limbo with someone must be the most wonderful, sexy thing in the world.

"(Didn't we both know) That the nights were mainly made for saying things that you can't say tomorrow day"

Do I wanna know? Ooof. I'm not sure if I do. The whole damn album is packed with questions. But I love it:




Happy Monday! (Did you miss me? Do I wanna know?)

Have Some Wine!

Some nights are for getting fired up about asinine writings on the Interwebs, and some nights are for drinking wine and halfheartedly watching Paul Blart: Mall Cop on ABC family while really, I'm playing around with a mustache cam and laughing hysterically to myself.

That's right. All of these things are happening.

I am a grown ass woman. 

Don't even tell me you don't find this funny, you guys.

HELLO.

Look, it was either this, or I was going to write more weird poetry about my feelings. And frankly, I am just not in the mood to be that serious, or 'stache-less. Besides, remember that time I posted a picture of myself in my BIKE HELMET? There wasn't even any wine involved then!

Now there's really nothing left to do but share an excerpt from one of the greatest literary inventions of all time. (Hint: If you picture me reading this aloud with this 'stache --------------->>>>>>>>>>>>
I promise it's funnier.) And it must be destiny that this happens! There was just a commercial for the movie adaptation right as I was typing! On ABC Family! I really am watching ABC family. holy crap, maybe I should not blog after drinking Jam Jar.


Whatever, it's happening.


From Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, "A Mad Tea Party": 

`Have some wine,' the March Hare said in an encouraging tone.

Alice looked all round the table, but there was nothing on it but tea. `I don't see any wine,' she remarked.

`There isn't any,' said the March Hare.

`Then it wasn't very civil of you to offer it,' said Alice angrily.

`It wasn't very civil of you to sit down without being invited,' said the March Hare.

Say what you mean and mean what you say,
love,
Alison(composes) and my stache cam
