Love this one!

Anything can happen.

You know, like, sometimes dear friends can elope in your back yard?

This is to summer 2013 what “Pumped Up Kicks” was to summer 2011. If you’re hearing it here first, you are welcome.

I planned to let Gavin pick this week’s Monday Music since we had brunch together this weekend in San Francisco and he’s introduced me to tons of cool music, but had this tune in mind in case he couldn’t think of anything. He immediately answered, “That new one by Daft Punk featuring Pharrell.”

This is why he’s one of my best friends.

I want to watch a burlesque routine to this song. The right gal could rock it.

I’m digging this fun, slightly off-kilter version of one of my favorite Talking Heads songs.

For grooving around the city in the new warm weather.

One of the most epic pieces of troll mail I’ve gotten came recently; it was a scathing diatribe about my – and this is a direct quote – “twee hipster lifestyle”. This woman was so incensed by my Park Slope-dwelling, party-throwing, gin-drinking, dog-owning, photography-career having existence, and my response was a double-filtered Instagram photo of me giving the finger. Ironically. While drinking a Pabst.

For the past two weeks, I’ve been living my life – which involves doing things like sleeping until noon and working until 2 am, having brunch on Tuesdays at 11, popping champagne on Wednesday nights “just cause”, and chasing newly married couples around Manhattan with my camera while getting paid for it – all the while thinking, “Hooray! I’m living my ‘twee hipster lifestyle’!”

Oh, Miss Troll. You are jealous, and I don’t blame you. My life is awesome.

This song is for you. I hope you are happy soon, too.

My friend Tim clued me into French musician Woodkid. We are both swooning over the whole album which was released last week. My favorite track is the first one, but you can listen to the whole album here. It is also on Rdio and Spotify.

Sounds like a happy weekend.

You guys! This week it is my birthday. I made a mix of 31 tracks that I plan to jam to on March 13. Enjoy.

Listen here.
