Recommended playlist this week: “Houdini” by Foster the People.
This song gives me the feeling of a higher elevation: that there are great things I am capable of that I don’t even know of yet. The last song that makes me feel this way is Pixie Lott’s “Come Get It Now”

It is no more than a thin facade of false sophistication we dress ourselves in. A psychological masturbation.
