I seemed to have caught “that thing going around.” There always seems to be something going around and normally I’m pretty good at dodging it. Not this time! Friggin. Anyway, having the day “off” I finally had time to download and listen to the new Girl Talk album, All Day. Go download it ASAP! It will brighten your tissue and phlegm-filled day… at least, it brightened mine. Also, I heard a rumor from a bearded bird that he will be playing at the Fox Theater in March. I can’t wait to get sweaty and have the time of my life a second time!
I recently acquired the new Books album, The Way Out. It’s pretty fantastic and you should give it a listen. But because I feel like it, I’m sharing my favorite song from their album The Lemon of Pink. Ladies and gents, I give you Tokyo. Enjoy, and have a great weekend!
Today the mister and I were going to pay a visit to the Exploratorium since I’ve never been. (TACTILE DOME! I wanna touch-a touch-a touch-a touch things in the dark.) But the weather is poopy so, next time. That’s ok, though. I have way too much to do. I might have to head to the Mission at some point to buy some liner fabric. In the meantime, my To Do list includes making coffee, breakfast, and listen to more Joanna Newsom – she’s so perfect for a rainy day.
I just got home from sushi (at Sushi Time) with delightful friends. It was a delicious meal full of colorful conversation, most excitedly about music. But, apparently Zola Jesus, who I saw open for The xx a few weeks ago, will be playing at Milk Bar in San Francisco this Friday night. I found this amaaaaazing video on youtube and had to share. The lace, the imagery, the mise-en-scène (if you wanna get fancy), THE SONG, absolutely beautiful.
Tonight is the night. THE night of the XX show at the Fox Theater in Oakland. Saying ‘I’m excited’ would be a bit of an understatement at this point. I’ve been fortunate to go to a handful of great shows lately (Dreamgirls, Man Man, The Tallest Man on Earth) and I think this one will be the delicious cherry on top of my September extracurricular activities.
