Every day’s a lesson in futility, but then you come into my life.

Daily Dose: Flyte, “Archie, Marry Me”
If I ever get married (an act that is looking increasingly unlikely), this is the song that will walk me down the aisle.

Daily Dose: Cat Power feat. Lana Del Rey, “Woman”
Cat Power is one of my true first loves. My early 20s would not have existed if it wasn’t for Cat Power. I’ll be seeing her for the umpteenth time with The National next month, and I almost can’t contain my excitement.
Here’s to lifelong loves. I promise you, they do exist.
