Someday my ukulele will make you weep with joy
I think I’m starting to get migraines. Boo.
Went to the Sarah Slean show last night. She was sublime as always, as was the opening act, Royal Wood. I was so surprised and delighted w/ him. I bought all three of his cds.
They both inspired me to want to write, which I need to get the hell on top of, since my debut’s next weekend (oh god).
A new song from my band. Two takes. All awesome.
Look what I’ve found. And it’s even the same cover art as in the clip. Yay!
Elephant Gun by Beirut.
I don’t play the uke well yet, and the band so far only consists of me, but, I present…
*Update - the link is different. I’ve done it now so the account lets me upload songs.
The Dresden Dolls are playing in Atlanta during my visit.
I feel utterly charmed.
Now I just have to figure out how to get there and if I have to stay overnight there. Oh, and how to buy tix when I’m all the way over here in Canada.
I’m listening to the Persian Dance Party on iTunes. Have I mentioned that, in my opinion, iTunes and the iPod are the best inventions I can think of in the past 20 years? I also think Middle Eastern and East Indian pop music is the best in the world.
I took today off work to work from home, but haven’t started yet. I slept late, showered, went for a walk, bought some groceries (aka, junk food and trashy mags). I also bought a bottle of red wine from the liquor store. The clerk asked, “Have you been there?
I replied, “Where?”
He motioned to my hat and said, “Peru”.
I told him no, and said he had a good eye. I guess he’s here to attend school and is originally from Brazil. He knew my hat was from Peru instantly.
I really enjoy little exchanges like that.
Everybody's talkin' at me
