Sam Ku West - Someday Sweetheart

I was pretty bummed out last night, but then I watched The General and it made me so happy. Buster Keaton was a genius and I’m madly in love with him.

The White Stripes - The Air Near My Fingers

I’ve been really into this song lately. I especially love the organ.

Also, check out this video of baby Jack and Meg in Houston in 2001:

This whole show is up on Youtube, and it’s all awesome.

Greta Keller - Blues in my Heart

I’ve been listening to a lot of these 20s crooners lately (people in the Ruth Etting, Annette Hanshaw, Mildred Bailey kind of line). They make fall days inside seem cozier, and fall walks outside seem crisper.
