Will Sheff, Ex-Girl Collection
As prophesied, Okkervil River’s Will Sheff covers the Wrens’ superb “Ex-Girl Collection” for a two-song EP. The downbeat, near-acoustic take emphasizes the excellent lyrics; this is a master class in self-loathing. (Sad face: the track includes almost a minute of dead air at the end. WTF?)This is a great cover. And hey! It’s great to hear the lyrics and actually be able to understand them without finding the lyrics online. When it kicks up at the end? Awesome. (Also, does anyone else think that the Beth mentioned in this song is the same Beth who signs her letters “Beth O’s and X’s” from “She Sends Kisses” on the same album?)
Awesomeness.
Rad.
The Lonely Island (ft. T-Pain) - I’m on a Boat.
NSFW for language, but I suppose if you have headphones, rock on.
Ack.
I am a very good runner, but only if I have been robbed
A dude just grabbed my purse and started running as I was boarding the shitbox that is the 6 train. For a second, I laughed and said to myself “Just let go Ashley, just let go…” but then I was overcome with Hulk-like anger and adrenaline and sprinted after him. I saw him run into another car, so I jumped in and said “Wanna give me my fucking purse back?” and he THREW it across the car and screamed “I DIDN’T TAKE ANYTHING!” and ran off the train. A really tired old lady picked it up and handed it to me.
This is the second time I have been robbed on the 6 train.
I have also been dry-humped by a stranger on the 6 train (not to be confused with the man who masturbated next to me in the movie theatre at Union Square).And yet again, here’s the cliche that a woman said out loud as the robber ran off the train: “ONLY IN NEW YORK, HUH?”
I want to move back to Mississippi and sell watermelons off the back of a used pick-up truck.
I’d buy some watermelons from you. I almost typed “I’d buy your watermelons,” but then I realized how inappropriate that would sound.

They sell these at Hobby Lobby. Kinda live Dove promises….except with Testamints, it’s a promise of eternal salvation. Chew on that.
I don’t think I want a conduit for salvation anywhere in my mouth. That sounds dirty.
BEST SONG EVER.
