the clarks

i just want to take a minute to pay tribute to the clarks. i have loved them for a while, i have had clarks days, i have annoyed carolyn by only playing them for hours on end then singing them for the next few days, but i learned today that they are really the best thing there is. i spent like 2 hours in a van actively trying not to throw up from car sickness (side note: there are technically lanes on the roads in thailand, there are yellow lines painted on the ground, but they are more suggestions than anything. everyone is constantly weaving through lanes and changing speeds to narrowly avoid head-on collisions or smashing one of the hundreds of motorcycles that literally do whatever they want) anyway i put on the clarks full blast and tried to concentrate as hard as i could on the music to avoid thinking about what was going on on the road and in my stomach. in short i think the answer to anything in the world can be found in a clarks song. know them, love them. they will pick up your mood no matter what is going on, and, yeah, what more can you ask for?
