A clip from Sadie Benning’s “If Every Girl Had a Diary.”
Anyone know where I can find more?

I can’t believe Stereogum premiered this. It’s a gosh darn dream come true!
Please do myself a favor and check out this music video that Shervin, Rachel and I worked hard on. It’s 15 seconds of insanity slowed down to 4 minutes!

Tonight, Tonight
Welp, it’s the last night of my last winter break.
Tomorrow I’ll head to Purchase for my final semester of college. I’ve got a room to pack up, a poster to design for Difference Maker Records, a Photoshop mock-up to whip up for my senior project, some scholarly articles to skim over, a zine to read, and a much-needed glass of merlot.
Despite having a killer schedule (with classes like “Music Video and Popular Culture,” “Experimental Workshop I,” “Outdoor Skills,” and “Social Media and the Arts”) to look forward to, I am pretty terrified. Of course I’m excited to learn new things with new professors, play shows and write and record songs with my fun new band, see my project on exhibition in a campus gallery, and make the absolute most of the whole experience… but I’m nervous as ever.
I spent most of this break thinking instead of doing. Wondering what direction I should take my project, what angle my paper should spin, and what everything would ideally look like both in person and on paper in the end. I did not add to or enhance my project or its corresponding paper at all this winter, and right now I feel like crap.
I wasn’t only thinking about what to do with my project, though. With the end of college fast-approaching, I was mostly thinking about the postgame. How and when will my boyfriend and I backpack through Europe? Where will we live after? What’s that going to be like? How will we make money? What kind of art will I make? Will I still be in my band? What kind of grown-up am I going to turn into? How is this degree going to help me?
All these questions overshadowed the present and unfortunately inhibited my productivity. Silly, I guess.
My resolution, which I am coming up with right now as I type this, is to focus on the present: the tasks listed at the top of this post. I need to get myself ready for the ride back to Purchase tomorrow. I need to design a few things. I need to read a few things. I need to practice some songs and perhaps write some lyrics. And I need to take account of all the awesome things in my life: my family, my boyfriend, my best friends, my home, my brain, my health, the little bit of money that I have saved, and the fact that I have so many (sometimes terrifying) options.
There’s no telling where I’ll be this time next year… which, now that I think of it, is probably more exciting than terrifying.
Cheers.

The line between “hipster” culture and “jock” culture is starting to fade.
Suddenly hipsters are into organized sports and find once indie girls, now “overrated”. Suddenly jocks and business bros are active in Williamsburg on a Saturday night and are into bands like Wild Beasts and Tallest Man on Earth. I was once at a bar in Philly when a Neutral Milk Hotel song came on the speakers and this group of drunk pink polos started grabbing at each other, high fiving each other and generally being obnoxious as they sang along, bud lites in hand and eyes tightly closed.
“This song is the the fucking best, man. I love the album.”
In “hipster” culture, its ironic to wear a baseball cap and drink beer at a sports bar while suddenly being interested in hockey. For jocks its finally cool to admit that there is more to life than the Dallas Cowboys, cars and boobs (but not a whole lot more). Being indie is sexy and main stream now. The 80s are over. The cold business brat is over. Being cool, is uncool.
I personally welcome the change. The sooner “hipster” generation gets over them selves and admits that they never heard of The Shins until they saw Garden State, and jocks can open up and write poetry, the sooner I can come out and say that I read mostly the Post over the Times because it has more pictures in it.
And that’s why Ryan Gosling is so perfect right now. He is the perfect mix between tender heart, silent creative genius and Brooklyn speaking buff jock. He is a hybrid of what everyone wants to be. Take off the glasses and the ukulele and he really is just a very very talented good looking buff Hollywood DUDE. But add the band, the masculine nonchalant necklace and a dog and you’ve got an ARTIST.
Mari nails current culture!
slow clap!

Hey, Internet!
I’m back. Back and totally ready to up my game. This means fewer Instagram posts and DailyWh.at reblogs and more original, substantive content… like this block of text!
The first thing I’m going to try to do is “brand” myself. I’m half excited and half terrified, but in order to make some sort of career as a web designer (or web anything), I think it’s got to be done.
On one hand, I’ll be making my online identity more cohesive and distinctly me. On the other hand, I’m going to have to figure out what makes me me and/or what would make me who I’d like to be perceived as on the internet.
Eep!
