"I never told my ambitions and efforts and failures to anyone. I listened unmoved to the sneers and ridicule of various relatives who thought my scribbling rank folly and waste of time. That never disturbed me at all. Down, deep down, under all discouragement and rebuff I knew I would arrive someday." - Lucy Maud Montgomery

I Want My MTV (and My Monkey, Too)

Last night I dreamed I was working for MTV in the 90s. I was at a special employee-only concert watching some bands and having a casual chat with Michael Stipe from R.E.M. After a while, I got a bit bored. The MTV people wanted to prank Michael and he wasn't having it and neither was I. Assholes. Working here is great, but I'm getting tired of it, I thought. So then I stepped outside for some fresh air.

Suddenly I was in my childhood home in Puerto Rico when I saw a small capuchin monkey drive by in a little toy car. He jumped out of it and jumped on my shoulder.

I didn't care whose it was. I decided he would be mine. And he was happy about this so I gave him a kiss.

And that was my dream. I swear I don't do any drugs.

Plastic Bertrand - Ça Plan Pour Moi (1977)



 

This song just makes me want to grab my bags and travel to Europe.

Or

Makes me wanna just run fast like a maniac to nowhere in particular.


Or both:
