[for Sunday, Oct. 28] The crowd was light (where were all the record vendors?) but the day was gorgeous and there’s not much that tops sitting in the sun, listening to music. Even the sad songs. Project 365
I just got up an hour ago and I need a shower something fierce, but not before I do what’s really important and post random bulleted items to my beloved internet web log. • The first season of Flight of the Conchords is going on sale Nov. 6. This is perfect timing because it gives me the entire holiday season to memorize plenty of references to quote throughout 2008. It’s time I expanded my pop-culture-reference…
I finally got the new Pinback Monday evening. I’ve had it on a loop since then (with the new Radiohead and Tegan and Sara tossed in for variety). I like it a lot. But then again, I’m kind of unhealthily obsessed with that band and I’m not sure if they could disappoint me. It was interesting being out west. I think Pinback’s probably much more popular on the west coast (they’re from San Diego) —…
It’s finally jacket weather. I don’t know how long it will last, but I’m doing my best to savor every second of it before the requisite late-October-backlash, during which them temps will creep back up into the 90s. Or at least the high 80s, with plenty of humidity. I’m drinking Woodchuck Draft Cider (Granny Smith). I’m trying to work my way up to beer, which I have always really hated. I’m not sure why I’m…
Performing live, right now. Go! WEVL 89.9 FM Or stream it. 1:25 update: Someone listening from Saltillo, Tenn., just got a dedication and a botched opening. Hee hee. Nice recovery, though.
[for Friday, Sept. 28] I flaked yesterday and didn’t take a picture. Luckily, this photo was taken after midnight Thursday, so it technically works for Sept. 28, crappy as it may look. Crazy — there’s less than a hundred days left in this project. And the year. Project 365
Within the span of three hours last night, I managed to spill tequila and shiraz all over myself (the tequila when I took a shot out of a plastic cup and realized, three-fourths of the way in, that the barkeep had generously oversupplied me, but it was too late to stop the momentum of the shot; the shiraz was my own idiot fault because I was gripping the cup — yes, cup — in my…
I’ve decided that Feist is kind of the lovechild of Cat Power and Charlotte Gainsbourg. I approve of moody brunettes (shocking, isn’t it?) caterwauling and panting lyrics about trees. It’s perfect music for a transition into fall.
Dear Grown Up Incarnation of Stacy Ferguson, member of KIDS Incorporated (one of my very favorite childhood shows): The least you can do, if you are going to put out a song that will — through no fault of my own — enter into my ears no less than three times a day, is make sure that you get your freaking pronoun/antecedent agreement right. Every time I hear “I’m gonna miss you like a child…
