This just makes me happy.

A weekend like this would wear anyone out, so after a lovely nap today, I give you a rundown of three truly amazing performances.Friday night found a group of us at the Theatre of the Living Arts in Philadelphia to see Andrew Bird, with Joan as Policewoman opening. Joan held the stage alone with only her piano/guitar (depending on the song) and a powerful set of pipes. Her performance was mesmeriz

Ah, Feist. You lure my boyfriend's thoughts with your beautiful, beautiful face, but I love you more. The Reminder is amazing, and I have already designated it my Official Album of Summer '07. It has already taken me through windy mountain roads, spring cleaning battles with the dust in my apartment, sultry twilight dog walks, and promises to sustain me through many a city stroll. Thumbs up, needl

So it's shamefully been a week since I saw Grizzly Bear at the Local 506 in Chapel Hill, NC, and I have yet to hop on here and proclaim their amazingness. Sorry, guys (not that I should assume Grizzly Bear cares about my mog). But really, if you have never seen them and have the opportunity, you will be blown away.Was anyone else at that show?Props also to Dirty on Purpose and the Papercuts, with

So let's get together, before we get much older
Anyone who has children, or has been a child, or has seen one, or any combination of the above, has got to appreciate this. I've just started baby-sitting for a couple down the street who are the frazzled parents of a small baby and a two-year-old boy. They are generally well-behaved, especially the two-year-old. When I first met them, I learned very quickly the one thing that would keep the older

Bumpbumpbumpclickclick and the train rolls out of Penn Station. I am huddled against the window with my feet curled under me. I am facing backwards as the car lurches forward. I have the seat to myself. I make a muttering phone call, put the earpieces in, and fire up the iPod. James Mercer's voice gallops alongside the train through the bog and warehouse parking lots as the landscape pushes New...

our hopes become a starting pistol
Although tragedy scoured this track from my iPod recently, it is the theme song for the day today, as it is for many days which are hard to start. After a late night and a morning that began with waking up to realize it was nine degrees outside (yes, my ears and fingers were sad), I turned to the above lyric for a mantra for the day. My love of the New Pornographers extends to the solo projects of
