“The Dan formed when Denny Dias, founder of The Dan, placed an ad seeking bass and keys, admonishing “no assholes need apply.” Thankfully Becker and Fagen ignored the warning.

“So, why am I writing about all this now? Well, my friend Jeremiah Moss wrote up a post on Vanishing New York yesterday, and dropped it onto my Facebook timeline with the question, “Is your heart still beating?” According to Jeremiah’s piece, Bleecker Bob’s is soon to become a —- WAIT FOR IT — Starbuck’s. … Enjoy your grande frappuccinos, you fuckers.”

re: disorganized mess
isabelthespy:
for all i think of my tumblr as me vomiting my feelings all over the internet, i actually don’t think i wrote a ton of personal stuff here until the day i decided to drop out of harvard. and that was kind of necessity-born too, but in a different way.
(isabel) i mean i actually would pick a career i... →

this is actually a problem i have
isabelthespy:
i’m talking about the fact that this is just my instinct, it’s just the way i am, i can’t even blame it on harvard because i’ve always been that way.
