Too tired to shine, dependent on the kindness of strangers and lawyers



Grizzly Bear Performing "Two Weeks" Last Night on Later... With Jools Holland


Before this post officially stops with a blunt and pretentious introduction, I'd just like to say that Grizzly Bear's Veckatimest is officially released in two weeks (WOAH!) and the countdown has officially begun. Although the album has already leaked, my faithful ears have yet to hear anything other than Cheerleader and Two Weeks. The verdict? I'm content with throwing up every record I've ever owned. Yeah, that good.

BACK TO THE FUTURE!

Hello my lovely friends, and welcome to what seems like another harrowing evening, here on Looks Like Coffee, Tastes Like Juice. After what could only have been 24 hours of writing about the idiosyncrasies of Mercutio, in comparison with Romeo (granted, it was only an hour), I'm finally prepared to retire and unleash upon the world the mighty power of the Mother's Day Mixtape. Lock up your mothers, ladies, this one's a little intense...

15 Years Of Torment & Bio-hazardous Threats To My Life Haven't Made Me Hate You Yet;
An Official Looks Like Coffee, Tastes Like Mother's Day Mixtape!

Warning: This mixtape contains extremely bitchin'... I mean explicit content. So, for fucks sake, don't show it to your mom.
Warning: If your mother has a sense of humor, or has lost her hearing aid, you can probably disregard that last message. Also, immigrant parents who haven't yet learned English apply as well.

01 Her Majesty - The Beatles (For my second mother, Kaitlyn)
02 Your Mother Loves You, Son - Beulah
03 Mother & Child Reunion (Paul Simon Cover) - Grizzly Bear
04 Mothers, Sisters, Daughters, & Wives - Voxtrot
05 Never Turn Your Back On Mother Earth - Neko Case
06 Mother - Pink Floyd (For Daniella)
07 We Share Our Mother's Health - The Knife (For Kacper, the one I'd never bring home to my mother...)
08 It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding) - Bob Dylan
What's that?! Did you hear a bonus track? I thought so!
09 Bitches Ain't Shit - Dr. Dre (Because whenever the topic of women comes up in front of my mother, these words basically escape her lips)

So, share the love with your creators today, and look forward to a post tomorrow. Or don't, because apparently, I'm not so good with these promise things.

Love, love, love, letters, lobotomy, legume, love.
