Nine Minutes of the best new music you'll hear: The Lisbon Maru by Fuck Buttons

2009-11-10T14:31:36-08:00

You know when you hear a song once, and immediately know that it's going to be on heavy rotation for a while?

This is one of those songs.

The Lisbon Maru by the fabulously named Fuck Buttons. As it has been lately, credit goes to Jay for this awesome find.

The National - About Today (live) from "The Virginia EP"

"Today
You were far away
And I 
Didn't ask you why
What could I say?
I was far away.
You just walked away.
And I just watched you.
What could I say?

How close am I 
to losing you?"

My favorite version of one of my favorite songs. 8:25 minutes of pure, unadulterated awesomeness. Best part comes in at 5:03. Leaves me breathless every time.

I feel like I keep bringing this up, but I'm in a land of confusion on what to do with my website. I don't write on it as much as I would like, but do try and post music, links, photos, etc. here pretty often. Which is basically what Tumblr is fabulous for...except they don't allow you to import old posts. And with nearly 9 years of content here, I don't really want to relinquish that. As such, I'm stuck with the following conundrum (also detailed here.)

I want a way to import my Tumblr posts directly into Typepad - the main blog, not the sidebar. And I honestly can't figure out how to do it. The GetSatisfaction post above didn't provide a resolution.

Another option would be to move to Tumblr altogether, linking back to aubreysabala.com for archives, but that's also not ideal.

I've never built a site in Wordpress, so don't really want to learn a whole new platform, however intuitive.

I'm frustrated. I want ONE place for all my stuff, and I want it to be AubreySabala.com, and I want it to be easy and intuitive and I want it to be pretty, and I want it now(ish). Help please.

What should I do?

Who I may or may not have a TEENSIE little crush on stemming from when he showed us his beaten up shins from all the tricks he does.

Say what you will, but daredevils are sexy.

Now excuse me while I go and watch footage from the last ten X-Games.
