Mini Wham City “Documentary”

For those living in baltimore (or even a lot outside) wham city isn’t as unknown as they used to be, but i still thought this short mini documentary of the baltimore art collective was worth posting, and gives a more insider look than a lot of people might have previously had.  Their whartscape this year was unsurprisingly amazing, and we look forward to whatever they have plans for in the future (whartcape or not).

Lyrical Break: The National’s “You Were a Kindness”

The National – You Were A Kindness (MP3)

So good:

I was in a fog i didn’t notice everything
was comin all apart inside of me
there wasn’t any way for anyone to settle in
you made a slow disaster out of me

there’s a radiant darkness upon us
i don’t want you to worry
i was careful but nothing is harmless
baby you better hurry

you were a kindness when i was a stranger
but i wouldn’t ask for what i didn’t need
everything’s weird and we’re always in danger
why would you shatter somebody like me

It doesn’t work that way.
Wanting not to want you won’t make it so,
It doesn’t work that way.

Don’t leave me here alone.
I’ll do what I can to be a confident wreck
Can’t feel this way forever I mean
There wasn’t any way for anyone to settle in
You made slow disaster out of me

There’s a radiant darkness upon us
But I don’t want you to worry.
I was careful, but nothing is harmless,
Baby, you better hurry.

You were a kindness when I was a stranger,
But I wouldn’t ask for what I didn’t need.
Everything’s weird and we’re always in danger
Why would you shatter somebody like me?

It doesn’t work that way.
Wanting not to want you won’t make it so,
It doesn’t work that way.
Don’t leave me here alone…
