7 Prince : Lolita
we played egyptian rat screw for hours on end the first couple weeks of school. we made up our own rules, and one was that you can slap any 10 card. i am terrible at remembering this rule. one night, i said that if i ever slapped a 10, we had to put this song on immediately. forty five minutes later, i slapped a 10.

he opened for okkervil river, and im in love with the album. absolutely obsessed. i felt this song was appropriate because something is always happening while someone else is sleeping.

14 Sigur Ros : Untitled 1
this song is the first one on the sleep mix. it's really lovely to fall asleep to this band, always. if you have any way to find the cover of it done by Manuok, i would highly recommend it. college is wonderful because ive been able to fall asleep next to jeff almost every night. and since we just keep the sleep mix on repeat while we sleep, i will sometimes wake up in the middle of my rest and hear this or some other pretty sound by this band, and see a very sweet, cute boy next to me and be incredibly happy.
