all these cups of tea...

...

we had in the winter sitting by the heater, reading a book while listening to Grizzly Bear or other indie-gods

did change to ice-cold lemonade with weird exotic and funny flavours.

The authors of the books changed as well.

So I traded Tolstoi and Dostojewski for Michel de Montaigne and Muriel Barbery lately.

Russian authors are not meant to be read in the sun. Sun is reserved for french literature and daydreams of far away cities where boys with beautiful collarbones walk along the sidewalks and fireworks mark the end of a day and the start of a new night.

What is it with animal-metaphors in all the indie-folk-bandnames?

Toy Horses

Seabear

Grizzly Bear

Fleet Foxes

Timid Tiger

Frightened Rabbit

Are animal and nature related bandnames the new "THE" ?
