Was watching the charming film Jazz on a Summer’s Day, which is a documentary of the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival, held in Rhode Island. Became quite intrigued by the performance of one Anita O’Day: It’s funny, the camera captures her checking the bottom of her shoe before going on stage. Apparently she didn’t [...] Went to see Elvis Costello do a free in-store at Amoeba SF at noon. He was performing there, then was to fly down to LA to do an in-store at Amoeba Hollywood in the evening. Walking to the store, we debated how crowded it would be. I figured, mid-day, on a work day, he [...] I tend to suffer from GAS (gear acquisition syndrome), though it’s mostly been in remission for a while (mostly out of financial necessity, as well as for reasons pertaining to the laws of physics, with regard to multiple objects not occupying identical space-time).

I think I forgot how. In lieu of which, I’m posting the “recommended for you” videos that showed up just now when I went to YouTube. Kristin Hersh “Sugar Baby” (Live on 89.3 FM, The Current) I loves me some Throwing Muses & Kristin Hersh. [...] An update on Roxana Saberi. I thought about posting something last week. She had been sentenced to eight years in prison, and subsequently had embarked on a hunger strike. People around the world were doing tag-team hunger strikes of their own to support her. Further twists to the story involve an Iranian film director [...] It has been four weeks since my last napping. Many thanks to my illustrious guest posters! But now you’re stuck with me again… Lush “Nothing Natural” I was very pleasantly surprised that there’s actually a video for “Nothing Natural”, one of my favorite Lush songs. Wow, it really works, I love it, how beautiful. [...] |
