Once in a quadrennial
Four years in the big scope of a lifetime doesn't seem that long right? But a lot can happen in four years - a transition from high school to college, a casual date grows into a marriage, a deserted countryside turns into an over-crowded strip mall.
There's something strangely awesome about the imperfection of the natural order of things, the inconsistency of our measurement of time. So we have to readjust because our understanding of the world is not completely on point. Really makes you feel like we don't have it all figured out huh? I think though sorta discomforting, it's a nice reminder :)
Anyways I found this song called "Leap Year" by Maria Taylor and it kinda picks up on that hauntingly weird, semi-sad, semi-chill mood that I feel leap day embodies:
So happy leap day. Celebrate as you see fit.
-G
P.S. Did you know that every 100 years (if it's not a multiple of 400 years) that there is no leap day? Weird huh? Maybe the only thing I wrote down from Astronomy lecture today.

Vaccinate me
It's flu season and I know I need a vaccination... but I'd rather listen to The Vaccines then get an actual one. Ok yeah that was a bad joke.
But anyways I came upon The Vaccines randomly a few days ago and they are definitely worth listening to! They're a British rock band from West London who just released their debut album exactly 11 months ago, but have already opened for quality acts like Arcade Fire and Arctic Monkeys. The Vaccines sound like a mixture of 50s music (in the good kind of way), 90s teen movie soundtracks, and that garage band next door (albeit with a British accent). And everything sounds better with an accent right?
My favorites are "If You Wanna," an upbeat dance-around-in-your-underwear summer song and "Post Break-Up Sex," a less than whiny but still sucks to suck ballad about the bads (and good?) of splitting up with your significant other.
If You Wanna:
Post Break-Up Sex:

P.S. And if you're one lucky mofo who's going to Coachella, it'd be a sin not to check them out.
P.P.S. HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!!!
