Rivers form tree-like shapes in the desert in Baja California, Mexico. 

This is mind-blowingly awesome. 

 

]]> http://wakeywakeymusic.com/sirmitchellrivers-form-tree-like-shapes-in-the-desert-in/ new lyrics- ‘this isn’t love’ i’m a great white whale
on a thin red line
i’m a tank
waking up on a land mine
i’m a sinner in quicksand
a sinner in quicksand
a landlocked ship
in a dead land
i’m a thin balloon
and i’m filling up
a thin red balloon
and i’m filling up
i know i don’t know much,
you think i don’t know much,
maybe i don’t know much
but i know this isn’t love…

Now that we have heard that one of our faves Fiona Apple may be coming out with new music, I thought I’d share this famous moment of Fionaness for those who’ve never seen it before! Classic moment. She doesn’t seem so crazy in hindsight now, does she? - Wesley

“And there’s you. A little black cloud in a dress.”
-Billy Bragg

He wasn’t talking about Fiona, but he could have been. And that’s just one of the many reasons why we love her.

make a Leap List of my own. For those of you who haven’t seen the
spot, a Leap List is sort of like a bucket list, but for people who
aren’t planning to kick the bucket any time soon. A lot of mine are
things I’d like to see happen for W!W! this next year, but there are a
few personal ones as well. Obviously most of them can only happen with
your help, so keep spreading the word about the band, and we hope to
see you soon.

W!W! Leap List for 2012-
Release a new album worldwide
Tour to at least 6 new countries
Perform on Jools Holland, SNL, and Late Night with Jimmy Fallon
Learn to drive a manual transmission car
Take a week off someplace and go surfing with my college friends
Experience Olympic insanity in London
See the grand canyon again

Here’s a link to the commercial for those of you who haven’t caught it yet-

Big ups to Oscar Berander for being the first person to tweet this video of our new Honda commercial! For all of our long time fans, this is a great time to introduce your friends to the band, so don’t be shy! Blog it, Facebook it, tweet it, write an old fashioned letter about it, or even get really, REALLY old school and just talk to your real live friends about it. We really appreciate all your support. We started this band years ago with word of mouth, and have been lucky enough to get this far. We love and appreciate you all, and are always sincerely grateful for the support.

Much love,

-M
