Open Thoughts: Two for Tuesday

by: Eddie C

Tue Jun 01, 2010 at 03:00:00 AM EDT

Ah the things we do for love. This week might sound like a Vampire Weekend "Two for Tuesday" but it is an anniversary wish to Corey and Rachel. Rachel was a June bride but they sent out what I thought was the most creative wedding invitation of all time on April 24, 2009. Happy anniversary to a very creative couple.

Now I must give credit where credit is due. Navajo mailed that wedding invitation to me, probably on April 25, 2009 because she doesn't miss a thing. Since then I've had an obsession with posting the above video whenever I needed a lift. Thank you navajo.

For the obligatory second in a "Two for Tuesday" there is another Vampire Weekend song below the fold.

Eddie C :: Open Thoughts: Two for Tuesday

To be honest I don't know much of anything about Vampire Weekend but I listened to a bunch and it was a toss up between "Cousins" and the one below.

Even though every unplugged reminds me of Nirvana, this one has a nice ring to it.

Can you believe that Nirvana is considered a golden oldie now? Well maybe not to you or I but go ask a fifteen year old.

Too(sday) damned early morning... (15.00 / 5)

Got the iPod on right now.

The Counting Crows are filling my ears at the moment -

Standing in the spotlight
I bought myself a gray guitar
When everybody loves me, I will never be lonely...

I need a coffee and a bagel right now.

;))

Pass me a bottle, Mr. Jones...
