The Pauses, A Cautionary Tale


I met Tierney super recently through this tour we’re both on with Dashboard Confessional where she’s playing bass for Beach Slang. In green room chats, I learned of her band The Pauses’ debut record, A Cautionary Tale. It’s dynamic, weird, and beautiful. It came out in 2011, but in perfect timing it’s being released on vinyl for the first time ever. It’s very new to me, but is very quickly making it’s way into my regular cycle. It’s early Liz Phair meets chill Good Luck… two things I gush about on the regular and actually I’m actually going to gush about one of them now.

Good Luck, Into Lake Griffy


Into Lake Griffy has been my number one since I discovered Good Luck on Last.FM in high school. It reminds me of summer nights, long bike rides, and singing and dancing and sweating in a basement along with some people I love. It makes me feel sentimental for anything. I only got the chance to see Good Luck once and I’ll never forget the way I felt. Good Luck is dead but those sweet riffs will live forever in my heart.

This LazyTown x Carl Wheezer mashup


Nothing to say about this other than the fact that I discovered it a year and a half ago and I’m pretty sure I have a hernia from all of the cry laughing sessions. You deserve to laugh, too.

Walmart Yodeling Boy


I smiled, I cried. He is pure and talented and deserves the world.
