Pajamas, three wall clocks telling different times, and a candle that should smell like the ocean but instead smells like soap. And paper writing, the last thing to do before this semester’s over. And Billy Bragg. Also on this playlist: “Shiva,” by The Antlers, “Ready to Start” by the Arcade Fire, and Okkervil River’s “Listening to Otis Redding at Home During Christmas,” my favorite sad, sublime Christmas song.
