I wake up wishing I could stay in bed for two more hours, thirsty for light & numbed by a starry hangover. But it’s exam week and off I go to university, coffee should taste sweeter in the morning. Back home, where the three-legged cat is trying to catch the unknown bird again, I drink the first glass of water of the day pretending it’s a big gin or vodka shot.

This one here is for days like these when the apathy monster pays a visit. Wishing I could have stayed home and vegged out all day listening to music. Some jazzy flourishes and warm acoustic sounds, the musical equivalent of a reassuring hug when you’re feeling drowsy and crabby.

    pobre moka, que no pudo quedarse en cama dos horas más… quizá fué mejor, de lo contrario, transcurridas las dos horas, hubieras deseado dos más… y asi…

    ¡saludos con jaqueca!

    Devendra Banhart Interview

    Devendra Banhart Summertime (interesting rendition)

    Devendra Banhart - Sight to Behold (Jools Holland)
    I think this song touches the most. I hope he will be remembered for this song far into the future.

    Thank you everyone, I’m just the sort of person who looks like hell when I don’t get enough sleep and I tend to become a big baby and overdramatic when it happens, sorry for that. It was a nice weekend I think I’m ready for Monday now. Hope the playlist works the same way it did for me.
    Nice cocorosie video sq.
