small comforts
June 10th, 2009 • by vinh
soundtrack to this blogpost will be the decemberists. because they are dope. because colin meloy is a lyrical god. because legionnaire’s lament is pretty much one of my favoritest songs ever. and finally because any band that has the balls to put together a prog rock opera based on british folk tales is fucking gangster.
