NEW FUN DEFICIT

http://www.last.fm/music/Fun+Deficit/Aries+and+Afterward/this+is+the+west+coast+and+a+kiss+means+everything

I am now on Last.fm, where you can stream and download my music.

give me THE CURE

Two phenomenal covers of The Cure, both filmed in interesting settings.

Erlend Oye of The Kings of Convenience singing "Boys Don't Cry" in the park:



PS22 Choir singing "Pictures of You" at school:

No, wait. This is what I want.

Motorcycles are a huge temptation for me. I avoid them because I don't think they will be as fun as scooters. They're just so much more serious. Yet, in getting older I don't like vintage stuff as much, and I just can't stomach a new scooter. They are just so much different than the old scooters I love.

But motorcycvles haven't really changed. They are still the same size, shape, and whatnot.

This is one I really like: Moto Guzzi V7 Clubman
