Ten Songs On A Thought: Ten Songs Evoking Nostalgia

It's easy to evoke nostalgia of a particular type...high school, childhood, fond memories, past loves, etc. But it's not easy to evoke a generalized nostalgia for something past. That's what this mix does! Each one of these songs will tailspin you into a non-specific nostalgia to match any reminiscing you might want. Ever.

Here is how this works (assuming I have any readers ever...It's been awhile. And generally always is between posts anymore): I choose a topic and write down the first ten songs that come to mind on that topic in no particular order. Then you do the same. Easy enough, right? I give you:


Ten Songs Evoking Nostalgia

1. Oh, Mandy - The Spinto Band listen
2. Modern Man - Arcade Fire listen
3. Sweet Disposition - The Temper Trap listen
4. Swansea - Joanna Newsom listen
5. Ceremony - New Order listen
6. In This Home On Ice - Clap Your Hands Say Yeah listen
7. Tickle Me Pink - Johnny Flynn listen
8. I Was A Kaleidoscope - Death Cab For Cutie listen ---the version linked here is an acoustic version I think fits the theme pretty well, but if you've never heard the original, look it up, one of my favorite songs by this band...
9. In The Aeroplane Over The Sea - Neutral Milk Hotel listen
10. Playground Love - Air listen

Hot Guys Reading Books

Okay, so...I know I haven't updated this blog in forever. I started a little something called "grad school" and then I was like man...it's been a long time since I updated this blog. I hemmed and hawed and assumed that in order to update said blog, I would need some kind of EPIC RETURN. I couldn't think of an epic return, so it just didn't happen. Over and over again it didn't happen. I spent 6 weeks in Russia and couldn't even be bothered to help you guys out with some posts then. I'm basically a jerk.

So to make up for it, I present you with my version of porn. It's hot guys reading books. It's what the name implies. Here are a few favorites I scrounged up from the site:






Since you need more...undoubtedly, try the site itself on for size.
