as long as we’re talking about music

Posted on March 27, 2009 by gee

Aww.. remember this gem of local music? So Julie by Lo. (I don’t get the video either, and others tell me I make oblique expositions). This one, Operator (The Line Is Dead), is another good one. The video is extra … Continue reading →
