I SPENT MOST OF THE HOLIDAY SEASON WATCHING FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS--SOOO I AM PLAYING CATCH-UP WITH MY POSTS...(and apparently BRE is MIA)

Listening to///
PJ HARVEY//WHITE CHALK//
JENS LEKMAN//NIGHT FALLS OVER KORTEDALA
SHARON VAN ETTEN//SELF-TITLED//Handmade, in the mail, from Brooklyn

PANDA BEAR//PERSON PITCH//It is as if the songs are coming out of a backroom in some other dimension in which Brian Wilson didn't hate his father so much, but just enough

1, 2, 3...favourites from THE SARTORIALIST (top two) and from FACE HUNTER (bottom). All aren't too try hard-ish and all seem to be weather appropriate (3 is located in Miami); though the middle guy could do with some mittens...

More balloon anatomy--found at the REFERENCE LIBRARY

Why I Think About Meditating a nice read currently on n+1.

I SAW JOSE GONZALEZ PLAY AT ZULU RECORDS THIS AFTERNOON; I WAS TOO SHY TO SAY HELLO.

(his songs sound best when it's dark and grey)
