December is one of my favorite months of the year because it means a few movies will be played at least once, if not a few times during the Christmas season on my DVD player.

This is one of them. I’ll never forget the first time I saw it, and maybe it is one of the reasons why I have such a strong pull to watch it every year. It was Christmastime 2005 and I was visiting my BFF Aussie Jen in New York City. I have yet to find a more incredible place that encapsulates the excitement of the Christmas spirit than that city in the month of December.

The Family Stone.

Don’t forget to mention EVERYONE in the theatre bawling.  Including us.  Geez.  Heart wrenching that one.

I’ve been thinking of a way to say thank you for making Battle Studies such a huge success out of the gate… I’ve also been thinking of a way to use tumblr as a means of posting some more substantial stuff… So here’s a very raw, live solo version of “Edge of Desire” I just recorded in my apartment as a way to show my gratitude to you all for extending my time in this amazing career you’ve helped me build.

I think if you were kind enough to spent the 13 bucks, you should get some free music for the next good while.

So here it is. A song about late night longing recorded at 3am. iPhone dinging in the background and all…(that’s how I knew the take was going to be worth sticking with, as the best takes always get interrupted.)

Thank you.

More to come…

John

No words. Just listen.

This is for the Philly Four!

Happy Island

Listening to Bob Marley reminded me of this place!

Song for the Day.

Sally: We are just going to be friends, ok?
Harry: Great!  Friends!  It’s the best thing. You realise of course that we can never be friends.
Sally: Why not?
Harry: What I’m saying is… and this is not a come-on in any way, shape or form, is that men and women can’t be friends because the sex part always gets in the way.
Sally: That’s not true, I have a number of men friends and there’s is no sex involved.
Harry: No you don’t.
Sally: Yes I do.
Harry: No you don’t.
Sally: Yes I do.
Harry: You only think you do.
Sally: You’re saying I’m having sex with these men without my knowledge?
Harry: No, what I’m saying is they all want to have sex with you.
Sally: They do not.
Harry: Do too.
Sally: They do not.
Harry: Do too.
Sally: How do you know?
Harry: Because no man can be friends with a woman he finds attractive, he
always wants to have sex with her.
Sally:
So you’re saying that a man can be friends with a woman he finds
unattractive.
Harry: Nuh, you pretty much wanna nail’em too.
Sally: What if they don’t want to have sex with you?
Harry: Doesn’t matter, because the sex thing is already out there so the
friendship is ultimately doomed and that is the end of the story.
Sally:
Well I guess we’re not going to be friends then.
Harry: Guess not.
Sally: That’s too bad.  You are the only person I knew in New York.

- When Harry Met Sally, 1989

Hahahahaha! Theory: a derivative of this?

Either way, one of my faves. <3 this movie. And for BFF Aussie Jen - the birth of “Blunt Instruments.”

All-time fave.  And SO SO true.  <3

Have decided that anytime an opportunity is presented to you, you should just suck it up, be brave, and take full advantage of the situation.

Hmph.
