Taylor Swift - Wildest Dreams
I had this song stuck in my head today 😳, and found this incredible live version. My respect for Taylor just went up many points.

La Dolce Vita (1960)
Abstract photographic compositions that collapse all of the frames in a film into a single, composite image.
The first time I saw Animal Collective (’07), I left the show early.
A few years later, I gave it another try and went with a friend (who had an extra ticket) to the Panda Bear show at Governor’s Island (’10).
I was completely blown away. Everything about the experience was sort of magical and cathartic - the music, the location, the sunset, the weather. I also left with a lot of respect for Noah Lennox. It takes a lot of balls to do what he does solo.
Over the last decade*, I’ve enjoyed how the “collective” has evolved. I’ve really grown to appreciate them and their sound.
I love live session videos and recently, been stuck in a serious Animal Collective live session / live performance k-hole.

*I’m sure this makes a lot of people feel old - they probably do, I definitely do. **There is an insane amount of lyrics for this song.

I want to be here.
I almost burst into tears when I listened to this episode of Women of the Hour:
“I can ride through it, that's what women have been trained to do. There's a certain amount of pain we expect - from the first time we have sex until the moment we push a child out of our bodies. And, so we march on, ready to bear it. I did mushrooms in college and my big transcendent experience was seeing and feeling myself as part of an endless lineage of women - a chain stretching above me and extending far below. I saw myself as a tiny chip of crystal, laid in a sacred line, and I was the same as every other woman who had fought her way forward from infancy. It's hard to replicate shit you feel on psychedelics, but my illness is as close as I've come to knowing that feeling again. Everyone one of us, pushing through and asking only, 'what is next?'”
- Lena Dunham, Women of the Hour: Sickness & Health
It hit me hard. I agreed with and understood exactly what she meant. And it was said beautifully, the images above came to my mind. From the moment we’re born, women are fighting.
The timeliness of all of this is interesting, as tomorrow is the Women’s March. Although I won’t be in attendance, I have a fist in the air in support of all of my friends, the women, and supporters of women’s rights who are marching.
These are very interesting times - exciting, but also frightening.
