Sharon Van Etten, Warsaw

viafrank:

Sharon Van Etten’s Tramp is one of the albums I’m looking forward to the most in 2012. Above is the opening track Warsaw. You can also listen to the lead single Serpents and watch it performed live on Fallon. Tramp is out on February 7th from Jagjaguwar.

“My secret for long life is simplicity and work and enjoyment.”

Shot in Fire Island, this film captures the secrets of eternal youth as Maia Helles, a Russian ballet dancer, turns 95 but remains resolutely independent, healthy, and fit as a forty year old. (by julia warr)

Remember that there are only three kinds of things anyone need ever do. (1) Things we ought to do (2) Things we’ve got to do (3) Things we like doing. I say this because some people seem to spend so much of their time doing things for none of the three reasons, things like reading books they don’t like because other people read them. Things you ought to do are things like doing one’s school work or being nice to people. Things one has to do are things like dressing and undressing, or household shopping. Things one likes doing — but of course I don’t know what you like. Perhaps you’ll write and tell me one day.
C. S. Lewis, in a letter to Sarah, his godchild, on 3 April 1949
