Randoms to say goodnight to
Please ignore my absence today. Pretend it didn’t happen. It’s a busy, busy week. I feel like I can’t really say I had a crazy day today when there are people out there who obviously had an unfathomably awful day, and days to come. But, let’s just look some stuff while I’m having this moment of breathing time at home, in my PJs. First up: windows to drool over. And chairs. Definitely chairs, too. Photos by Laure Joliet. via the storque.
Next, a video, just because it’s been a long day.
and then one more video, just because, of The Rolling Stones listening to their recording of “Wild Horses”, from the documentary Gimme Shelter. This is quite possibly my favorite Stones songs, but it’s way too hard for me to pick just one. They were pretty dreamy back then.
via Stephanie, who I met recently, and is awesome, and now I’m obsessed with her fantastic blog that I had only seen briefly before.
related: Iron & Wine + Calexico cover “Wild Horses”. Also awesome. Somehow this never came to my attention, even though I loved their album together so very much and saw them live together for one incredibly amazing show.
Goodnight, friends.

Wild Horses is my favourite Rolling Stones song too. I think. You're right, there's a lot to choose from in their old stuff. I absolutely love that cover too! Amazing.

I can't remember how I found your blog even though it was just a few minutes ago (or hours, who counts?) but I've already been on some lovely journeys and had my consciousness if not raised, at least … lifted. Consider me hooked :)

Hey! It appears we are in a mutual admiration society!
After a long day, can anything beat kicking back and listening to Wild Horses? I don't think so … unless, possibly, you got to kick back near such awesome windows in such rad chairs.
Here's hoping the days ahead start taking a turn for the better.

The Iron & Wine + Calexico cover is pretty excellent. Have you heard The Sundays' cover? Quite different, but still beautiful. Hope tomorrow is better.

I feel sad that nobody has quite mentioned the cute fox video yet. So here I am (: I'm hearing a dutch-speaking guy in the background by the way.
