Water water everywhere, and not a drop to spare

Because agriculture uses approximately 70 percent of the global fresh water supply, the greatest potential for relief from water scarcity will be through technology that reduces the amount of water needed for agriculture.

Take shorter showers! 

Alphabet Playlist - "Naive" - The Kooks

So much love for the Kooks, this song, and the Lily Allen cover (can't find my favorite version online).

Alphabet Playlist - "Mr. Brown" - Bob Marley

My previously unstated goal with the alphabet playlist is to unearth gems I've forgotten about and to highlight songs you may not be familiar with as I go through my entire iTunes library...alphabetically.

Here's one of my favorite Bob Marley tunes that they don't play on the radio:

lyrics

Oh honey let me in, or let me go.

Alphabet Playlist - "Modern Diet" - The Redwalls

Oh so hip.

Alphabet Playlist - "Misty Mountain Hop" - Led Zeppelin

One of my favorites, always and forever

Why don't you take a good look at yourself and describe what you see
And baby, baby, baby, do you like it?

Alphabet Playlist - "Michicant" by Bon Iver

A song about all the things you can't do in Michigan. Great tune for the next time you're on a long drive or nice walk:

Invincible Summer

Check it

Bukowski

“I will remember the kisses, our lips raw with love and how you gave me everything you had and how I offered you what was left of me and I will remember your small room the feel of you, the light in the window, your records, your books, our morning coffee, our noons our nights, our bodies spilled together sleeping, the tiny flowing currents, immediate and forever, your leg my leg, your arm my arm, your smile and the warmth of you who made me laugh again.” ― Charles Bukowski

Musings on Corporate Culture

After all is said and done in the global economy, customers always have been and always will be "muppets"—a description Mr. Smith wrote he was shocked to hear his colleagues use. Whether a corporate culture describes their clients that way or not doesn't matter. How a company treats those clients is the bottom line.

OK Go - Needing/Getting

I've been waiting for months
Waiting for years
Waiting for you to change
Aw, but there ain't much that's dumber
There ain't much that's dumber
Than pinning your hopes on a change in another

Rill Rill

"Wonder what your boyfriend thinks about your braces." 

Of Monsters and Men - "Little Talks"

My current obsession. Worth watching the trippy video.

From The Bell Jar

". . . but here I was, letting it run through my fingers like so much water." -The Bell Jar

Current Obsession - "Whale" - Yellow Ostrich

Prepare to get addicted!

"Vaporize" - Broken Bells

Almost deleted this from my favorites playlist, but the bit after the 2:10 marker is amazing. I want to listen to those 30 seconds on repeat all day.




Doubtless, we've been through this
So if you want to follow me you should know
I was lost then and I am lost now
And I doubt I'll ever know which way to go

Bon Iver "Towers" Music Video

New. Beautiful. Check it.
 


what a mischief you would bring young darling!
when the onus is not all your own
when you're up for it before you've grown


Lyrics

Alphabet Playlist - "Memory" - Sugarcult

This may look like your run-of-the-mill emo band playing in a warehouse video, but this was my high school jam. One of the first songs I learned on the guitar, a go-to Alex & Theo car ballad. I will forever feel nostalgic when I listen to this album.

Alphabet Playlist - "Melatonin" - Silversun Pickups

And after six milligrams
We're talking again.
