The only way to put it is that Anne Carson is not of this Earth. I aim to be even just 1/26th as odd as her. She’s piercing and magical and I feel upended every time I read her work. Her newest, \u003cem>Red Doc>\u003c/em> is shaping up to be perfect if the first 10 pages are any indicator. I'm not sure what's going on, but I think bulls are running around with their horns on fire. My goal is to finish by Wednesday so I have at least a fighting chance of understanding anything she says. \u003cem>Red Doc>\u003c/em> is a follow-up of sorts to \u003cem>Autobiography of Red\u003c/em>, Carson’s mythological verse novel, which is basically one of the best books ever and one I recommend to people I'm trying to impress.

I want to buy a glow in the dark unitard and do a weird dance on the beach but until I can get to that I will be clutching the elbow of my concert companion, swaying and swooning. Tickets aren’t sold out so go buy one now. Then, in an attempt to still act like a 20-year-old who goes to concerts every night, check out \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GO00ELNct7k\">Purity Ring\u003c/a> at the Independent on April 15 and 16.

I’ll see you there! We can bask in our gratitude that we live in such an amazing city/crazy world/perfect month with so much going on.

The only way to put it is that Anne Carson is not of this Earth. I aim to be even just 1/26th as odd as her. She’s piercing and magical and I feel upended every time I read her work. Her newest, \u003cem>Red Doc>\u003c/em> is shaping up to be perfect if the first 10 pages are any indicator. I'm not sure what's going on, but I think bulls are running around with their horns on fire. My goal is to finish by Wednesday so I have at least a fighting chance of understanding anything she says. \u003cem>Red Doc>\u003c/em> is a follow-up of sorts to \u003cem>Autobiography of Red\u003c/em>, Carson’s mythological verse novel, which is basically one of the best books ever and one I recommend to people I'm trying to impress. Read \u003ca href=\"http://www.poetryfoundation.org/poem/178364\">anything of hers\u003c/a> to get yourself in a nice, other-worldly mood and then head over the bridge dreamily not knowing what to expect.

On April 14, the delightful and theatrical Bat for Lashes will be playing at The Regency Ballroom (the icing on that witchy girl cake is that \u003ca href=\"http://sadiemagazine.com/issue-no-11/centerfold/the-fearless-nite-jewel\">Nite Jewel \u003c/a>is opening). I want to buy a glow in the dark unitard and do a weird dance on the beach but until I can get to that I will be clutching the elbow of my concert companion, swaying and swooning.

Then, in an attempt to still act like a 20-year-old who goes to concerts every night, check out \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GO00ELNct7k\">Purity Ring\u003c/a> at the Independent on April 15 and 16.

This guy. I mean, he's a white hip hop guy from SEATTLE, the first nerdiest major city to be from after...nope, the first nerdiest major city to be from (I love people from Seattle so I can say that). He wears pinks shirts and bolo ties (see below). His haircut is patently ridiculous. But. Somehow, he owns the whole thing like a boss and ends up being dreamy beyond dreamy. He's so f-ing earnest, every single one of his songs seems to be an anthem to honesty, kindness, fun, hope and love, and he's my age, turning 30 in June, not a baby teeny bopper. He has critics, \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/03/27/7-celebrities-and-1-bus-line-that-publicly-support-marriage-equality/\" target=\"_blank\">which I've previously discussed\u003c/a>, because everyone has critics, but what I love about him is that even if he oversimplifies things like gay marriage or thrift shopping, his heart and his brain are in the right place. Also: this is pop music; it's inherently simple. Yes, he is a straight white man so he can't exactly speak to the gay experience, but he can speak to his experience! And yes, he most certainly comes from a bit of privilege (though he went to public high school in a city full of private schools so he couldn't have been too extremely privileged), so when he sings about buying sweet clothes at a thrift shop, it's not coming from a place of need but of joy in being different and finding magic. It's about not selling out to the brands that have come to define hip hop, even if that definition is a backlash from the many hip hop artists who DID start out shopping second-hand because it was the only option.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The thing I love about Macklemore is that he is who is he is, honestly, un-apologetically and very enthusiastically. This is where we should be with feminism: Straight white boys were born straight white boys, just like the rest of us were born whatever we were born. They shouldn't feel bad about who they are, guilty all the time about something they can't change. They should have strong, positive role models too. We should ALL have models of straight, white boys like Macklemore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you aren't convinced about what an awesome dude he is, watch this Tiny Desk Concert from December. I've already watched it about 20 times. So much crazy humanness. Macklemore! Go for the gold buddy!

On the other end of the spectrum, \u003ca href=\"http://youtu.be/e-fA-gBCkj0\" target=\"_blank\">Bruno Mars\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://youtu.be/uuZE_IRwLNI\" target=\"_blank\">Justin Timberlake\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://youtu.be/WA4iX5D9Z64\" target=\"_blank\">Taylor Swift\u003c/a> are all raking it in with cliches about love that are so fun to sing along to, no one notices how horrible and misleading and destructive they are for America. Then of course there's always the casual misogyny of \u003ca href=\"http://youtu.be/KY44zvhWhp4\" target=\"_blank\">Lil Wayne, Drake and Future\u003c/a> (currently \u003ca href=\"http://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100\" target=\"_blank\">NINE on the Billboard Top 100\u003c/a>, which means MANY MANY children are listening to this song...where are you now \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4279560\" target=\"_blank\">Tipper Gore\u003c/a>??).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Enter: Macklemore. This guy. I mean, he's a white hip hop guy from SEATTLE, the first nerdiest major city to be from after...nope, the first nerdiest major city to be from (I love people from Seattle so I can say that). He wears pinks shirts and bolo ties (see below). His haircut is patently ridiculous. But. Somehow, he owns the whole thing like a boss and ends up being dreamy beyond dreamy. He's so f-ing earnest, every single one of his songs seems to be an anthem to honesty, kindness, fun, hope and love, and he's my age, turning 30 in June, not a baby teeny bopper. He has critics, \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/03/27/7-celebrities-and-1-bus-line-that-publicly-support-marriage-equality/\" target=\"_blank\">which I've previously discussed\u003c/a>, because everyone has critics, but what I love about him is that even if he oversimplifies things like gay marriage or thrift shopping, his heart and his brain are in the right place. Also: this is pop music; it's inherently simple. Yes, he is a straight white man so he can't exactly speak to the gay experience, but he can speak to his experience! And yes, he most certainly comes from a bit of privilege (though he went to public high school in a city full of private schools so he couldn't have been too extremely privileged), so when he sings about buying sweet clothes at a thrift shop, it's not coming from a place of need but of joy in being different and finding magic. It's about not selling out to the brands that have come to define hip hop, even if that definition is a backlash from the many hip hop artists who DID start out shopping second-hand because it was the only option.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The thing I love about Macklemore is that he is who is he is, honestly, un-apologetically and very enthusiastically. This is where we should be with feminism: Straight white boys were born straight white boys, just like the rest of us were born whatever we were born. They shouldn't feel bad about who they are, guilty all the time about something they can't change. They should have strong, positive role models too. We should ALL have models of straight, white boys like Macklemore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you aren't convinced about what an awesome dude he is, watch this Tiny Desk Concert from December. I've already watched it about 20 times. So much crazy humanness. Macklemore! Go for the gold buddy! Win this one for all the little boys out there!\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">\u003ciframe src=\"http://www.npr.org/templates/event/embeddedVideo.php?storyId=166256822&mediaId=166258738\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Jessie Ware is arguably the current harbinger of this arousing movement. When her single \u003ca href=\"http://youtu.be/bMJkddvJ4L4\">“Wildest Moments”\u003c/a> was released, the world began to \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/10/arts/music/british-soul-offshoots-evolve-fitfully.html\">recognize\u003c/a> and respect this British songstress. While I did not initially make the connection with that song, my first listen to “Running” had me Sade-ing all over the place. And her physical resemblance to Sade in the video is uncanny: tightly bound hair, big earrings, careful makeup. Ware is happy to not only acknowledge this comparison but, in an \u003ca href=\"http://hellogiggles.com/total-devotion-an-interview-with-jessie-ware\">interview\u003c/a> with Jennifer Still, goes so far as to say the video is a “complete homage to ‘Smooth Operator.’” It’s refreshing to see artists out there doing their thang thang, and giving props where props are due.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PElhV8z7I60?rel=0&w=560&h=315]\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>If I am out of the comfort of my own apartment and I hear an xx song in a bar or, weirdly enough, in a supermarket, I feel my blood pressure rise.

I do not like their music in a public setting. It’s undeniable that Madley-Croft’s soft and sometimes straining vocal cords resemble that of Sade’s and it’s well known their music is a hit for hormonal youngsters, but for me, they just don’t have the Jessie Ware pow! factor and allure.

Frankly, if a man wrote an article attempting to guide my own dressing habits towards a more male-friendly appearance, I would be miffed and dismiss him entirely. What right does a man have to tell a woman how to dress? You've been throwing hints at us since the dawn of time, and we already know what you like, anyway. There's a reason Victoria's Secret and stores that sell stripper heels stay in business -- that's what you like, not what we like, and we'll agree to throw you a literal bone every once in awhile. The main thing to remember, however, is that women dress for women, as in, we wear fashion to impress and compete with each other. It doesn't have much to do with you. You will take us in a sack-like dress, just like \u003ca href=\"http://onthisdayinfashion.com/?p=11761\">Molly Ringwald in Pretty in Pink\u003c/a>, as long as you can eventually see our boobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the other hand, straight men need to dress for women. They might not always do so, or they might not know how. What's at stake in our whole gender game is that \u003cem>you\u003c/em> need to convince \u003cem>us\u003c/em> to go home with you in our Molly Ringwald sack dress, so we can show you our boobs. If you aren't convincing, someone else just might be, and therein lies the scientific process of natural selection, my friend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sure, there are other factors in the decision process -- I mean, we aren't \u003cem>completely\u003c/em> superficial, you have to be capable of having a conversation, etc, but what you need to understand is that we have a new world order out here. There was a time when women were just dying to get married because it was the only way we could survive. These days we've got our jobs and our cake, too. If you want to have a partner in crime, you've got to have a crime worth committing, if you catch my drift.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv>[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xevjs_dtkk8?rel=0&w=420&h=315]\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>The bad news is that you don't really get a whole lot of clothing options in contemporary society. It's sad, but you basically just get the pants/shirt/jacket combo in various iterations. In my MFA thesis research on dress, I learned something important about your clothes. Back in the era of kings and serfdom, power was connoted with leisure. Men and women in high society got to convey their status through ostentatious fancy clothing. However, along came the Industrial Revolution. All of a sudden, power was synonymous with work. Men wore serious, identical suits because they were all of a sudden gettin' 'er done, while the wives became the family vehicles to show off. And in one swoop, you got stuck with a suit as your only means of style, and we got all the fabulousness. Sure, it seems unfair, but I think you still own most of the \u003cem>Fortune\u003c/em> 500 companies, so whatever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, in light of the dating and clothing rules I just mentioned, let's talk about your dressing options. Here are some gentle guidelines designed to help you get the girls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong> *There will always be exceptions to the rules.\u003c/strong> I just want to point out that this is a subjective and personal list designed to illustrate what girls like me will like, not all women.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are a few celebrities that I would take in any form. Joaquin Phoenix, for example.

Frankly, if a man wrote an article attempting to guide my own dressing habits towards a more male-friendly appearance, I would be miffed and dismiss him entirely. What right does a man have to tell a woman how to dress? You've been throwing hints at us since the dawn of time, and we already know what you like, anyway. There's a reason Victoria's Secret and stores that sell stripper heels stay in business -- that's what you like, not what we like, and we'll agree to throw you a literal bone every once in awhile. The main thing to remember, however, is that women dress for women, as in, we wear fashion to impress and compete with each other. It doesn't have much to do with you. You will take us in a sack-like dress, just like \u003ca href=\"http://onthisdayinfashion.com/?p=11761\">Molly Ringwald in Pretty in Pink\u003c/a>, as long as you can eventually see our boobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the other hand, straight men need to dress for women. They might not always do so, or they might not know how. What's at stake in our whole gender game is that \u003cem>you\u003c/em> need to convince \u003cem>us\u003c/em> to go home with you in our Molly Ringwald sack dress, so we can show you our boobs. If you aren't convincing, someone else just might be, and therein lies the scientific process of natural selection, my friend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sure, there are other factors in the decision process -- I mean, we aren't \u003cem>completely\u003c/em> superficial, you have to be capable of having a conversation, etc, but what you need to understand is that we have a new world order out here. There was a time when women were just dying to get married because it was the only way we could survive. These days we've got our jobs and our cake, too. If you want to have a partner in crime, you've got to have a crime worth committing, if you catch my drift.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/Xevjs_dtkk8?rel=0'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/Xevjs_dtkk8?rel=0'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>The bad news is that you don't really get a whole lot of clothing options in contemporary society. It's sad, but you basically just get the pants/shirt/jacket combo in various iterations. In my MFA thesis research on dress, I learned something important about your clothes. Back in the era of kings and serfdom, power was connoted with leisure. Men and women in high society got to convey their status through ostentatious fancy clothing. However, along came the Industrial Revolution. All of a sudden, power was synonymous with work. Men wore serious, identical suits because they were all of a sudden gettin' 'er done, while the wives became the family vehicles to show off. And in one swoop, you got stuck with a suit as your only means of style, and we got all the fabulousness. Sure, it seems unfair, but I think you still own most of the \u003cem>Fortune\u003c/em> 500 companies, so whatever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

You are happy to listen to their aurally pleasing music. There are some bands you like a lot. You will listen to their songs and maybe even, occasionally, buy one of their albums. And then there are some bands love with your whole being. You are introduced to them at some crucial point in your life (for example, right before you go on a college abroad trip to Scotland your senior year). You listen to them pretty much constantly and their music speaks to you on a level that NOBODY ELSE UNDERSTANDS. You will go to every single one of their shows, even if you just got a new tattoo and sweating in a basement isn't great for new tattoos, even if you don't have any money because you make minimum wage and you go out drinking every night, even if you just saw this band play yesterday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For me, that's \u003ca href=\"http://www.mountain-goats.com/\" target=\"_blank\">The Mountain Goats\u003c/a>.

Today, while searching for a nice live version of one of my favorite Mountain Goats songs (currently, a lot of them are my favorite on a rotating basis), \"Michael Myers Resplendent,\" which has the amazing lyrics: \"When the house goes up in flames/When the scum begins to circle the drain/Everybody loves a winner,\" I came across 21 videos of one of the most moving Mountain Goats shows I ever attended, made by some person called \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/user/snowcrushkilling?feature=watch\" target=\"_blank\">snowcrushkilling\u003c/a>, a daytime show at \u003ca href=\"http://www.bottomofthehill.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Bottom of the Hill\u003c/a> that happened back in 2008 when I was just a 25-year-old baby. I got in via miracle: a free ticket from a guy I had met the night before (at a different Mountain Goats show) who is now my good friend, \u003ca href=\"http://www.drewbeck.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Drew\u003c/a>. \u003ca href=\"http://lizzyacker.com/2008/03/feasting-and-dancing/\" target=\"_blank\">I wrote about it in my blog\u003c/a>, which was my main deal at the time, saying, among other things, that I \"... screamed until my head almost fell off, chanted 'hail satan' like a champion and shouted the lyrics to 'i saw the sign' like i was some sort of unit commander at normandy.\" (Capitalization was NOT my main deal at the time.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anyway, it was one of those things you remember forever, and now it exists on the internet, which hopefully won't erase or replace my memories. For you, this is a magical treat. I've put all the videos in one playlist and now you can spend the rest of your Tuesday watching the greatest show of all time and searching for a younger, chubbier me, wearing different glasses, in the audience.

You are happy to listen to their aurally pleasing music. There are some bands you like a lot. You will listen to their songs and maybe even, occasionally, buy one of their albums. And then there are some bands love with your whole being. You are introduced to them at some crucial point in your life (for example, right before you go on a college abroad trip to Scotland your senior year). You listen to them pretty much constantly and their music speaks to you on a level that NOBODY ELSE UNDERSTANDS. You will go to every single one of their shows, even if you just got a new tattoo and sweating in a basement isn't great for new tattoos, even if you don't have any money because you make minimum wage and you go out drinking every night, even if you just saw this band play yesterday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For me, that's \u003ca href=\"http://www.mountain-goats.com/\" target=\"_blank\">The Mountain Goats\u003c/a>. I am not ashamed to say that \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Darnielle\" target=\"_blank\">John Darnielle\u003c/a>, lead/sometimes only man, is my Jesus, especially my Jesus in that tough figuring-out-adulthood period between ages 21 and say, 29. Today, while searching for a nice live version of one of my favorite Mountain Goats songs (currently, a lot of them are my favorite on a rotating basis), \"Michael Myers Resplendent,\" which has the amazing lyrics: \"When the house goes up in flames/When the scum begins to circle the drain/Everybody loves a winner,\" I came across 21 videos of one of the most moving Mountain Goats shows I ever attended, made by some person called \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/user/snowcrushkilling?feature=watch\" target=\"_blank\">snowcrushkilling\u003c/a>, a daytime show at \u003ca href=\"http://www.bottomofthehill.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Bottom of the Hill\u003c/a> that happened back in 2008 when I was just a 25-year-old baby. I got in via miracle: a free ticket from a guy I had met the night before (at a different Mountain Goats show) who is now my good friend, \u003ca href=\"http://www.drewbeck.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Drew\u003c/a>. \u003ca href=\"http://lizzyacker.com/2008/03/feasting-and-dancing/\" target=\"_blank\">I wrote about it in my blog\u003c/a>, which was my main deal at the time, saying, among other things, that I \"... screamed until my head almost fell off, chanted 'hail satan' like a champion and shouted the lyrics to 'i saw the sign' like i was some sort of unit commander at normandy.\" (Capitalization was NOT my main deal at the time.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anyway, it was one of those things you remember forever, and now it exists on the internet, which hopefully won't erase or replace my memories. For you, this is a magical treat. I've put all the videos in one playlist and now you can spend the rest of your Tuesday watching the greatest show of all time and searching for a younger, chubbier me, wearing different glasses, in the audience.

With this as a foundation, when there's a \"redneck version\" of Gin & Juice, we are surprised!

Praised for his croon and his deeply affecting \u003ca href=\"http://content.magnoliaelectricco.com/lyrics\">lyrics\u003c/a>, Molina sang his blues and sang them well, perfecting the art of sadness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Magnolia Electric Co. and Songs: Ohia were among the aliases under which he recorded. Both the \u003ca href=\"http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DMffq8RH2S4/TlfUO7OfzQI/AAAAAAAAAvk/BpU6p7VarAw/s1600/magnolia3.jpg\">magnolia\u003c/a> and the \u003ca href=\"http://davidavery.files.wordpress.com/2008/03/ohia-lovely.jpg\">ohia\u003c/a> are plant species producing among the most brilliant display of flowers, a true testament to the aching beauty of Molina’s music. He sang songs of both attempted hope\u003cem>: While you were waiting for me not to call / I sent my love / I sent my love \u003c/em>and utter gloom: \u003cem>I have to work hard to suffer alone / I have to work hard to be so alone\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Molina never achieved the status of say, someone like \u003ca href=\"http://youtu.be/WL1ly1GMwwc\">Elliott Smith\u003c/a>. I compare them not because they are both \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2003/10/23/arts/elliott-smith-34-rock-songwriter-and-singer.html\">no longer\u003c/a> with us, but because they were both obviously battling some genuine demons, seeking solace somewhere between this world and the next. I don’t believe either Smith or Molina was out for fame of any kind, but rather, it was urgent they create music for their own self-preservation. And it just so happened they were good at it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is not easy to lose someone of such talent. Regardless of the fact that we did not know Molina personally, we had a glimpse into his life through his music. When I read the news of his passing, I looked at my arms and watched the hairs rise, a bodily reaction. Immediately, I thought of a good friend of mine from home who I knew would be distraught and texted him. He, of course, had already heard and confirmed he had been terribly upset. It almost sounds silly to grieve for someone you don’t know, especially a minor celebrity. But we are emotional beings and when something that means a lot to us is shaken, we are affected and we cry. It’s as simple as that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I hear Molina’s music, I hear an afflicted soul putting whatever light he can into a guitar and pushing it out to sea for us and for that I am grateful. Since his label, Secretly Canadian, announced his death, his music has been \u003ca href=\"http://youtu.be/YQtjwVTJUgw\">filling\u003c/a> my empty San Francisco apartment as I write. It’s a strange thing, a haunting thing, to hear the words of someone who just a week ago had a heart beating on this warm Earth and now will soon be buried within it. I will probably listen to more Songs: Ohia in days to come and then I will move on to something else by a different artist. I’ll listen to some dance music on Friday evening as I get ready to go have drinks with friends and then I’ll turn the music off and head out.

Regardless of the fact that we did not know Molina personally, we had a glimpse into his life through his music. When I read the news of his passing, I looked at my arms and watched the hairs rise, a bodily reaction. Immediately, I thought of a good friend of mine from home who I knew would be distraught and texted him. He, of course, had already heard and confirmed he had been terribly upset. It almost sounds silly to grieve for someone you don’t know, especially a minor celebrity. But we are emotional beings and when something that means a lot to us is shaken, we are affected and we cry. It’s as simple as that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I hear Molina’s music, I hear an afflicted soul putting whatever light he can into a guitar and pushing it out to sea for us and for that I am grateful. Since his label, Secretly Canadian, announced his death, his music has been \u003ca href=\"http://youtu.be/YQtjwVTJUgw\">filling\u003c/a> my empty San Francisco apartment as I write. It’s a strange thing, a haunting thing, to hear the words of someone who just a week ago had a heart beating on this warm Earth and now will soon be buried within it. I will probably listen to more Songs: Ohia in days to come and then I will move on to something else by a different artist. I’ll listen to some dance music on Friday evening as I get ready to go have drinks with friends and then I’ll turn the music off and head out. But there is someone, maybe in Seattle or Lisbon, who will decide to stay in, and they’ll put on a Magnolia Electric Co. record or a Songs: Ohia record. And someone else in Vancouver will do the same. And the records will keep spinning and the tides will keep rolling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/Uu9LJGPUkdM'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/Uu9LJGPUkdM'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
