Just Like Yesterday


This time, the house isn't yellow, in fact the wood isn't painted. Early in the morning, very little light penetrates the branches, throwing soft shapes on the floor. No matter how convincing and comforting you may sound, Ed, the truth is there in the title: Two Weeks. And that's all we have. Until next year.

What I love about this song, though, is that, despite being a heterosexual male, from the very first second I feel like Ed Droste is my lover, and I love him more for trying to reassure me, even though we both know there's no point. If I feel lazy, I can just sink into his voice.

Grizzly Bear continue their tour of the talk shows playing new songs with 'Two Weeks'

A quick 'un. But a good 'un, imho.
Even though the as-yet-untitled new album supposedly ain't out til April, Grizzly Bear (or GRZA, if yr a Wu-Tang fan, or The Ursus Grizzmeisterino if you're not into the whole brevity thing), have made another new song (after the brilliant 'While You Wait For The Others' - listen on their myspace) listenable-to after playing it on a talk show (this time Letterman, last time was Conan). 'Two Weeks' only makes my anticipation highyaaaaa. No reason for the stoopid spelling, do I need one? No I donut.
