While it wasn't too painful coming up with this week's list, oddly placed in the middle of the week when I should be - oh I don't know - not spending money on a Sweet and Sara vegan peanut butter s'more and some metromint spearmint water ... I consider this a necessity for this disgusting heat, as the mint almost helps hydrate more than the water... - instead of grocery shopping and cleaning my apartment. So in lieu of the internet being messed up at my apartment, I am here at the library giving you the 7 most tingly things that have happened to me in the past 2 weeks.New Super-Amazing clothing essential
As I promise a Summer-Must-Have post in the near future complete with pictures, I cannot wait any longer to show off this cute little number I found at Ragstock for five dollars... and then I bought a hoodie there, which may or may not appear in the Autumn-Must-Have post for TWO DOLLARS! ... anyway enough of my gloating and look at this cute little number.This is a description of what I consider a piece of clothing very Nylon (Magazine), something that is slightly neon and can be switched up in any attitude. The only thing I don't like about it (other than the high voltage pink which is OK but not my favorite color in the world) is the spaghetti straps. I have very rounded shoulders and thin straps tend not to not like this type of shoulder. But the elastic underbust looks great on my shape and the pockets! Oh the pockets is what made me fall in love with it along with the almost-baby-doll look to the top.
My mission for this top is to get a plain crew neck white or black t-shirt and wear it underneath this for fall. As Cinderella sang, "This is love."
Free Music
What I love most in life (besides a cute girl... you know who you are) is late night last.fm free download searches. But sometimes, like a cute girl, free music just happens to you. Allow me to distribute.
**Link!** The Postelles cover Joe Jones "California Sun" **Link!**
This song is absolutely fantastic for this fucking awful weather and even better imagining Gidget and every bad beach movie to the tune of these guys. Speaking of Gidget, it's on this Sunday on Turner Classic!
**Link!** Dum Dum Girls "Coming Down" **Link!**
Fuzzy and slightly reminiscent of the 90s makes you think something between twee and full-out Daria attitude, the Dum Dum Girls are back with their impending release of their sophomore album "Only in Dreams" coming out September 27. I will be getting back to Dee Dee in another project she took part in covering the Jesus and Mary Chain's "Teenage Lust."
**Link!** Madison's "Hot Hot Love (Kids at the Bar Remix) **Link!**
Sometimes you just need a good loud electonic vibe and while I'm not the biggest remix hoarder, I support any free music from Madison 'cos well, one cannot ignore her impending message of taking over the world.
Sallie Ford and the Sound Outside
I love all music and somehow finds a little solace in a bluegrassy or jazzish feel in live music, mostly just live. So when I heard Jolie Holland was in town doing the Intimate Series at the historical Englert Theater, I was on board for ushering. Then... Portland's own Sallie Ford and the Sound Outside happened to me. Sallie looking like a piece of 90s twee adorableness with large glasses and a mass of curly hair, I fell in love with her slight Buddy Holly hiccup and the fact it was a real bass melting my face. I love their subtly.

The Civil Wars
Another band I must recommend for their subtly, sounding like a mix of something bluegrassy from "Barton Hollow" to completely revamping the Jackson 5 in a lo-fi cover of "I Want You Back" but best known for their biggest hit on Grey's Anatomy "Poison and Wine", John Paul White and Joy Williams, already an indie star in her own right, The Civil Wars have melted my face and I have yet to recover from John Paul's hotness. Yes I said it, this man is beautiful, like I have mentioned on facebook already he is a man-baby of Sirius Black and Johnny Depp. *drool*
Kardashian Nail Polish
Everyone either loves to hate or hates to love the Kardashians but you know, I think they are hilarious. Kris Jenner is like a copy of my mother in most clips, Kim as you watch her closely enough is one big ball of paranoid OCD-ness and Khloe? Well she's just hilarious and makes all the shows worth watching (such as her playing with her blow-up giraffe she named Henry). But what about the line of nail polish that is coming out this winter but everyone already got all the swatches in advance? Truthfully, I think it's a little much but if they want to put a stamp on the fashion world -- why not? Khloe should be a covergirl for her beautiful Amazonic size. But check out the colors... if I had to get any of them definitely "Khloe had a little Lam Lam" despite its moronic title. That one would be the dark-dark blue green up on the first row. But is it just me or do the colors look a little biased to the Kardashian's dark skin tones? Think about that...Hangover Owls Tumbling

Dum Dum Girls do Jesus...
... and Mary Chain's "Teenage Lust." Or more appropriately Dee Dee from The Dum Dum Girls and Tamaryn covered this in a project called Les Demoniaques, either way, it's awesome. Like the covers I love, I actually have never heard the original but I can only guess it's less mid-summer suffocatingly hot as this one. It's sexy!
