ashcan rantings: i can move you if you let me

Oh, hey, it's been awhile...

Uh, yeah, that's my bad. I've been suffering a certain lack of inspiration. Here are some pictures, quotes and videos to inspire you...

The best thing of all is the combination of the surprising and the beautiful. - Ludwig van Beethoven

The answer is never the answer. What's really interesting is the mystery. If you seek the mystery instead of the answer, you'll always be seeking. I've never seen anybody really find the answer-- they think they have, so they stop thinking. But the job is to seek mystery, evoke mystery, plant a garden in which strange plants grow and mysteries bloom. The need for mystery is greater than the need for an answer. - Ken Kesey

Hey, you know something people? I'm not black, but there's a whole lots a times I wish I could say I'm not white. -Frank Zappa

Art is not the application of a canon of beauty but what the instinct and the brain can conceive beyond any canon. When we love a woman we don't start measuring her limbs.- Pablo Picasso

aww stop, youre making me blush (but dont actually, i looove it): testimonials from other blogs:

"I read your whole page and thought what a great writer you are. So personal and smart. I loved the Bob Dylan piece. I went to see him in Santa Monica last month and thought the same thing. My generation were so badly behaved... surprisingly obnoxious really. Thank you again, you made my day..." -Catherine James

"Daily reader of the blog Ashcan Rantings? Yes? Then you know it's a blog which is very rare to find. A true gold mine in this blogosphere. If no? Then you have been missing out on a lot of incredible posts by the lovely, witty and brilliant Molly, creator behind the oh-so fantastic Ashcan Rantings. "-sunniva

"We all dream of finding the perfect vintage fashion, but Molly dreams of being Vintage. It's always refreshing in this copycat popculture of both Fergie and High School Musical to find a teen who is truly original in her interests. From Molly I've learned all sorts of randomosity about the 1960s, thanks for the education. But every so often, even Molly lets modern day popculture become her latest obsession, it's nice to have a fellow Arctic Junkie out there hehe"-jayne

"the always-awesome Molly just mentioned on her blog that he is, as the kids say, super-majorly-extremely-finger-lickin'-good-hot. Well, I think she used more normal words. But...word, Molly"
"the perennially fab Molly over at Ashcan Rantings"
-emma

"One of the funniest blogs and the future Mrs Artic Monkey." -coco

"You have the greatest taste in music. Your devotion to Prince, fashion and all things hippie caught my eye and I could never look away. Your blog always lifts my mood. I wish I could hang out with you and sing some Prince karaoke. " -pretty in black

"I noticed Molly from Ashcan Rantings has a thingy on her blog showing where people have mentioned her. Well, do you think it would be ok if I just mention her here? Or will she just tastefully pass over this post, pretending like it never happened? Well Molly, here goes. YOU ARE GREAT! I WISH I WAS AS WITTY AND FUN AS YOU! WHY ARE WE YELLING?"
"1. She's cool. No, not Keds cool. Like, future rockstar cool. The girl you see at the record store cool. The girl at the gym who listens to funk music cool. She's that kind of cool.
2. She knows who she is.
3. She has an excellent sense of humor.
4. She's an old soul, but not in a boring, geriatric way.
5. She has excellent (and accurate) pop culture references. "
"Molly is probably the coolest person you will ever meet. Not that you guys aren't cool...but she is going to a George Clinton and Parliment-Funkadelic concert. She's witty, interesting, and intelligent. Also, she is on vacation so won't re post this (now, anyway). But I feel she deserved some credit."
-sister libby

"Good lord but Molly is funny. And also possessing of impressive musical taste. Her blogger profile alleges that she's from Fiji. If this is true Molly, please email me so we can talk about Levuka. Then again, Molly is also listed as 252 years old, so I have my doubts as to her Fijian citizenship."
-Sarah Von

"one of my new favourite blogs, it is always full of fun and interesting posts and the creator is cool as fuck"
-miss maybel

"Molly is a very witty blogger. Her blog covers music, film, fashion & so much more. I always get a kick out of her latest blogs on whatever topic. She covers everything from the 60's and 70's to today's entertainment world."
-Keith

"The ten best things about Molly:
1- you are rarely embarrassed
2- you are strange beyond belief
3- you have level 57 stalking powers
4- You pick every last detail apart
5- you are good at making plans
6-you cried at Arlo Guthrie
7- you're dancing, i like to sit back an interpret it..
8-you can put up with demons (children) so i don't have to
9- i once saw you punch a tiger in the face
10- you can get along with pretty much everyone."
-Michele

"Molly has been my blogging buddy since the invention of the wheel and will continue to be my luscious buddy until we can email hologram kisses to each other. Molly is a fellow music junkie and has convinced me to listen to artists I would've otherwise dismissed. Molly has more WIT in her pinky nail than most do throughout their entire body. Every visit is a stimulating experience... BOW DOWN BISHES."
-Crazy Eddie

"This girly...Molly...is more than half my age and she opened my eyes to some music I never would have heard without her!"
-Jill

"I love you and your blog was the first blog I ever fell in love with. Can i be in your side bar now?" -maya
