Thanks to Super Tuesday and (likely) my relatives, Pennsylvania has become relevant. It’s cool, but also frightening, as now the candidates are going to camp out here and I’ll get sick of them.
Among the things to be added this week is a trip report from Easton, Maryland and a review of Juno. Both were largely fine, with slight disappointments.
Among the things I’m fairly obsessed with: the ending of Project Runway and Vegas being less than a month away.
Five songs I’m loving right now:
“Me and Mr. Jones,” Amy Winehouse: the best opening line of a song in a long while and provides me with a new word to my vocabulary. Such a great album.
“100 Days, 100 Nights,” Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings: there’s something about the note she hits on ‘days’ that I love. Thanks Ms. Winehouse and Ms. Gross for turning me on to these folks.
“Academia,” Sia: well, of course I’d like it. There are three other songs from her new album that I could have chosen though.
“Young Folks,” Peter Bjorn and John: Album sort of stinks, but I can never get the whistling out of my head.
What other Sia songs might you’ve chosen? “Little Black Sandals” ruled my life for about 4mo, then was replaced by “Electric Bird.” I’m hoping for some decent remixes of either one, since all the ones I’ve heard for “Day Too Soon” and “Girl You Lost” were fairly horrible.
Yep, “Little Black Sandals” and “Electric Bird,” but I’ve also been in love with “I Go to Sleep” since “Lady Croissant,” so I’d have thrown that one in. I think the live version may be better though.
She didn’t perform “I Go To Sleep” when we saw her at World Cafe Live in NOV… Was kinda disappointed. You can see her singing it on one of her “Morning Becomes Eclectic” appearances on kcrw.org (forget which one)…
Really sorry I missed seeing her when she toured with The Bird and The Bee — would’ve been such a prime combo!
