my itunes is permanently on the setting where it plays one song on repeat. its the only way i can listen to music. last week it was ‘the punk singer’ by julie ruin, then it was ‘i wish i was him’ by kathleen hanna, yesterday it was the ‘waiting room’ cover by slingshot dakota. today its this, “give out” by sharon van etten. (i’m biting my lip / as confidence is speaking to me / i loosen my grip … in my way / i say / you’re the reason why i’ll move to the city / or why i’ll need to leave.) i’ve been listening to music this way for about four years, i think. i feel bad for my friends/roommates sometimes because it is probably really annoying. i just get sort of obsessed with songs for 1-2 days. sometimes it lasts longer.
