Ok, help the guy out. At the risk of going all Eric Alper what songs invariably fill you with utter joy wherever and whenever you hear them. I'll start. youtu.be/sOsial01K0g?si…

@yogurttowne Mr. Mister it is.

ETERNAL SUNSHINE is turning 20 this year and last night it occurred to me that the ending means something very different to me now than it did even just 5 years ago. It’s not about destiny and inevitability, it’s about grace and growth and the miracle of second chances. Anyhoo!
