I have a friend who is in love with tumblr, I get the feeling sometimes it’s only because his favorite band is Blur. Oh, and he’s anti-fb.
Right on all three counts! Jake just started on Tumblr. He is a mugwump. He has his mug on FB and his wump on Tumblr.

69 Love Songs: Day 8
The Magnetic Fields - “The Luckiest Guy on the Lower East Side”
The day is beautiful and so are you
My car is ugly, but then I’m ugly too - I know you’d
never give me a second glance but when the weather’s
nice all the other guys don’t stand a chance“A beauty and the beast song, from the perspective of the beast.
‘The Lower East Side is the epicenter of songwriting history in the 20th Century,’ says Stephin Merritt in the 69 Love Songs booklet. Which is why he lives and works there. Irving Berlin, George and Ira Gershwin, many Tin Pan Alley writers, and (more recently) John Zorn have all come from the Lower East Side, an area of Manhattan that was popular with many immigrant populations, especially Jewish radicals, early in the century.
The song has been covered by Norwegian duo, the Kings of Convenience, though their version is not in general release.”
