Oh My God! I Totally Love This Song!

LAST YEAR BY BEST COAST

So: Mercury Fucking Retrograde. I’m going to be 70’s dude here and talk a little about astrology and why we’re all having such a weird shitty time right now. When the planet Mercury appears to be moving backwards things get all messed up. Have you noticed that there seems to be a lot of static in the air? Having stupid arguments and being misunderstood by others or misunderstanding yourself? Is your tech messing up? Plans falling through? General bullshit happening all over the place?

Mercury Fucking Retrograde.

Further explanation from astrologyzone.com: “What happens when Mercury retrogrades? You miss appointments, your computer equipment crashes, checks get lost, you find the car you just purchased during Mercury retrograde is a lemon. (Or, you hate your haircut, the lamp you bought shorts out, your sister hates her birthday gift.) There will be countless delays, cancellations and postponements--but know these will benefit you in the long run. Don't fight them, although your frustration level and feeling of restlessness will be hard to cope with at times.

All machinery and things with moving parts--such as computers, VCRs, camera equipment, garbage disposals, and so forth, will reveal any weak links now. It is critical that you back up your data system and be more careful and vigilant than ever. Projects will demand more time and money than anticipated this month.

In matters of the heart, if your boyfriend or girlfriend breaks up with you or says something hurtful, take a wait-and-see attitude. Since Mercury rules speech, they may not mean what you think they are saying now. Let them have some space, and wait to see if they mean in October what they said in September.”

The sentiment in this amazing Best Coast song is about right for this time. The capital-R RAWK riff is kickass and Bethany’s vocal is gorgeous. The la da da’s are creamy and awesome. If you, like me, are annoyed as shit by this period of time, maybe this song will help to ease your troubled soul.

Also this shit ends on July 21, so we’re almost done with it – until the next time.

I used to believe in you and me and now I believe in nothing:




What a year this day has been. What a day this year has been. Please don’t get me wrong, I just don’t know where my mind has gone:
