Wednesday Morning Music: Lucy Knisley "The Last Time"

This week's Wednesday Morning Music is a charming reflection on the nature of time travel and love by cartoonist/musician Lucy Knisley (found via James Kolchalka's American Elf). It's gots shout outs to Oscar Wilde, Lou Reed, Calvin and Hobbes, and several other truly righteous cultural luminaries, but at heart it's a sincerely touching love song that pretty much nails that sweet spot between sappy and creepy. Kudos, Lucy Knisley. An award should be given for such an accomplishment.

Favorite lyric: "I'd help Hitler go to art school, see Houdini on the stage. I would shake the hand of Chaplin, and watch dinosaurs at play."

Sound's like a pretty good life to me.

(also, last week's Black Kids video is fixed)
