"Signal in the Sky" was written for the Powepuff Girls' show soundtrack which also features other cool guys such as Frank Black and Shonen Knife. When I was seven I didn't know about indie rock or whatever but I did know that all these songs were catchy as hell. It's like the Spongebob Squarepants movie soundtrack that had the Shins and the Flaming Lips' original songs on it. Although this specific song by the Apples in Stereo has specific references to "signals in the sky" and "power-super-super-power" etc, it's still a great standalone song. And this video featuring that evil bug eyed sea monster from the Powerpuff Girls kicks ass!

christmastime fun!!! + "Can't Hurry Love"- the Supremes
list follows clockwise order starting at bottom left.
√ Go to museums with friends and/or family! I'm personally excited to go to the Nature museum that has dinosaur exhibitions and thousands of minerals and rocks on display. Going to museums reminds me of being a kid.
√ Put on new or old Hannah Barbara cartoons, like the Jetsons or the Powerpuff Girls. Then commence knitting and/or crocheting and tea consumption.
√ Listen to: Diana Ross and the Supremes, Scott Walker, Jens Lekman, Sigur Ros, and Curtis Mayfield- music that sounds cheery and has a holiday mood, but doesn't mention "mommy kissing santa clause" at all, thank god. Here's my Christmas mix from last year if you're in the mood for actual Xmas songs.
√ Christmas garlands
√ Make your own perfume or mixed teas using loose leaf blends and muslin.
√ Have a horchata party! Horchata is a South American libation that is made of rice, vanilla, and cinnamon that is a great alternative for eggnogg h8ers. When I hear the line in the Vampire Weekend song "In December drinking horchata..." it really makes me want to make and drink horchata in December. Here's a recipe!
√ While you're having your Horchata party, why not make flower crowns as well?!
√ Holiday baking! I want to make these quasi Rice Krispie squares that are made up of Fruit Loops and COCONUT RUM! So festive!
