Matthew Good is playing a concert that is not impossibly far from where I live! Dare I make him my first ever concert-going experience? To be continued…
So no one tell my sister but I’ve spent several nights being very sadface about her imminent departure. Tomorrow I’m going to latch onto her ankles and beg her to stay. My reasoning will be that her leaving threatens my emotional stability, which is obviously more important than her travelling around the world and doing awesome things. The logic, it is unfailing! I will let you all know how it goes but I don’t see how anyone, least of all my sister, could refuse my face. Especially now that my haircut looks more like something I did on purpose and less like something I did while I was sleepwalking.
I am still waiting for Supervolcano to arrive. And my passport. It’s all sisters and volcanoes and passports with me lately. And Super Mario Bros! I just killed Bowser good in Super Mario Bros. 3 and saved the Princess today! Add that to my list of fantastical accomplishments, please. Also, the Princess totally tried to pull a fast one on me. She was all, “I’m sorry, the princess is in another castle! Just joking! Ha ha! Goodbye!” Seriously! Not even a thank you. And I just realised I don’t know if I mentioned that I unearthed our old SNES and hooked it up to my TV so I could enjoy Mario’s World between writing? I don’t think I did. Probably because that’s really the kind of thing that makes you proud one day and ashamed the next.
In other news, writing keeps me busy and Awesome Agent Amy is awesome. I’m still dabbling in that new novel that has since gone from four pages to two–headdesk–and am going to attempt another crazy fast draft for August. Which is… now?!
Where is the summer going, I ask you.
DO IT. if only because that Canadian fucker refuses to play in the states, or something, so you going to a concert brings me the vicarious pleasure of . . . knowing you went to a concert? or something. Heard he doesn’t do Jenni’s Song live anymore because of how difficult it is to do the build during the bridge (“you wait for it & wait for it & wait for it & it’s gone”, etc). Man, Beautiful Midnight. I want to go back in time and see him when he was touring for that disc.
sigh.
He was just in Arizona or something I think!! Anyways, we’ll see. Tickets go on sale tomorrow, teh cash flow is low. Maybe I will be standing outside the place it’s at in October looking for a scalper. I will do my best for you, bb.
Beautiful Midnight is GORGEOUS. It ties for me for Avalanche, I think (which I think I might like slightly better). MG’s music is v. cinematic. I don’t know if that makes sense, but that was always how I classified it!
HOW DOES ARIZONA HELP ME, JEEZ. YOU ARE SO INSENSITIVE.
I’ve finally begun listening to Regina Spektor, but I only got through two songs on my drive home. And then Kiernan and I went out and he wanted to listen to Marvin Gaye (we did not get it on. We were in a car. That would be irresponsible.) so no more Spektor. Of course, for my morning commute (all five minutes of it), I put Nellie McKay back in. I am close to obsessed with that CD. It doesn’t help that she guested on Weeds last season (well, as the singer of the theme song) and I am rocking an obsession with that show, as portions of season three have already leaked and they are DRAMATASTIC. They are like a primer of why hot mommies should not get involved with drug dealing. DISASTER WILL ENSUE ON A VERY REGULAR BASIS!
Get Away From Me! A CD title based on making fun of Norah Jones! HOW CAN YOU NOT GET BEHIND AN ARTIST WHO MAKES FUN OF NORAH JONES VIA CD TITLE?!?!
IF IT MAKES YOU FEEL BETTER, NO MATT GOOD TICKETS FOR ME, BB. :( Couldn’t scrounge up the $$. I will see where I am in October ie, pls let there be seats available.
I liked WLR&RR. Little Terror–that song was awesome! I wish I had Audio of Being and In a Coma. I have Underdogs, Beautiful Midnight, Avalanche, White Light R&R. Eventually Hospital Music.
!! I can’t wait to hear what you think of Regina Spektor once you hear more songs! I have lots and lots and lots of high quality unreleased live songs so. If you find you like her let me know and I will hook you up.
I am glad to hear you are listening to Marvin Gaye responsibly. Heh.
I STILL AM SADLY UNEDUCATED ABOUT NELLIE MCKAY. But Regina totally covered Little Boxes and I have it. Wants it? I can email it to you.
Ahaha poor Norah Jones. She can’t get no respect!!!
I love this conversation so much between you and Kim that it is probably unhealthy.
Vero: Hee!! Have you got Hospital Music? If I can’t see his concert, I am at least going to own that damn CD.
I do have it.
And its brilliant.
Adkafskdlfj! I want it so bad.
Soon.
