Animal Collective Back To Back
After two rescheduled shows later and a few months of falling so deeply in love with Merriweather Post Pavillion I was so ready to see Animal Collective on Thursday 2/26 at the Henry Fonda aka Music Box. Last time I saw Animal Collective was at Coachella and let me tell you how extraordinarily different of an show it is watching them in a more intimate indoors venue. My favorite thing about ...

Smoothing Creases
I have always questioned the lyrics of the Crosby, Stills & Nash song that has the chorus “if you can’t be with the one you love, then love the one you are with…”
I mean is that considered settling? Or is it what had to be done in order to get over and done with the one “you loved”?
Anyway, I joined a poetry club and someone sent this to me and although it...

The Cat and the Moon
The Cat and the Moon The cat went here and there And the moon spun round like a top, And the nearest kin of the moon, The creeping cat, looked up. Black Minnaloushe stared at the moon, For, wander and wail as he would, The pure cold light in the sky Troubled his animal blood. Minnaloushe runs in the grass Lifting his delicate feet. Do you dance, Minnaloushe, do you dance? When two close kindred...

sxsw ... pumping myself up
Such a good mix of bands at SXSW this year. There are a ton of artists that I already LOVE with a capital L.O.V.E and I am so pumped to see …
Late Of The Pier - I have been obsessed with their album “Fantasy Black Channel” since Julyish in ‘08. Can’t wait to get down at any or all of their shows in Austin.
Lissy Trullie - She is hot and so is their new EP...

In Between My Headphones
Here are a few of this past weeks discoveries and new obsessions - I expect that I will have most of them on repeat this week, because yup, they are that good to my ears. In no particular order below find out whats been going on between my headphones and please note that obsession #6 is probably the one I am holding the dearest right now.

Pills On Ears →
Not that I rock any earings other then ones I got my ears pierced in, but as I sit at the airport on pills waiting for my delayed flight - I am finding these pills on earings worth tumblring about.

Tea
I want to start collecting something new since my 6 year collection of goldettes is getting harder and harder to keep up with - ever since someone decided to make vintage lockets a trend. So after thinking about what my not so huge apartment and not so huge wallet can keep up with in the world of things to collect - I decided that collecting TEA would be a good idea.
Currently my favorite brand...

Cut Off Your Hands - 'Happy As Can Be' →
I hope this song makes you as happy as me. Yes it’s a bit blunt, but what is there to hide when you are happy?

Eric Lewis
Eric Lewis in four words - man with jazzy hands. Okay, so maybe that doesn’t quite describe him. I am kind of blown away right now. Just got back from Teddys after watching a quick jazz jam session with I think the most amazing pianist I have ever seen play. Once again his name is Eric Lewis.
Wikipedia told me —- Eric Lewis, born May 13, 1973 in Camden, New Jersey, is an American...

Bonnaroo - Impressive Lineup
I have never had the pleasure of making it to Bonnaroo, but that might have to change this year. This is a pretty freakin’ impressive lineup. So impressive that I believe it is worth subjecting myself to a bunch of petrollie infested hippies running around on acid after watching 2 shows of Phish.
Artists: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band Phish (two shows) Beastie Boys Nine Inch...
Strategies to Happiness
Interpretation: There are innumerable perspectives for viewing the world - and no consensus on the right one. So we might as well choose to see things in a way that helps us to be happy - to recognize kindness in people, joy in small things, and a bright outcome in even the crappiest situation. A darker outlook is no more ‘true’.
