I love Harry Connick Jr.
With all my heart.
Everything about him.
So, when we were at the Hollywood Bowl in July … and saw a poster for Harry Connick Jr coming to the Hollywood Bowl, OBVIOUSLY we had to check if there were still tickets!
Obviously.
This time my mom, grandma and aunt [...]
There are parts of the latest 80′s revival in independent-popular music that I am drawn to. Such as this dark/melancholy Cure-ish song by Yeasayer. (I also need to one day post some clips that actually have Official Videos) “I Remember”
and just for fun, here’s another 80′s Cure-ish (well, maybe a total riff [...]
Andrew bought me a present recently. For no other reason than he thought I’d like it …
Sweet boy.
He found this Sesame Street Live album !! Soo fun.
First of all, I love Jim Henson. And the Muppets. And Sesame Street Live…..
AND….
Andrew didn’t know this, but I have a very distinct [...]

Here is a record that my brother turned me on to. I love that Quasimoto/Madlib is entirely LP focused. The man has 4 tons of vinyl apparently. One day that will be me.
Also, recommended to check out the Madlib: Medicine Show Vol. 2-Flight To Brazil!!!!!!! Amazing.

Here are a couple of melancholy songs. Maybe it’ll be an overcast day in mid-August.
Nina Nastasia – That’s All There Is
Jesse Flavin – Fuck Everything (ok, this is a song written by Talons, but I couldn’t find the original on the web)

Hey, my little sister got married yesterday on the 6 year anniversary of the first day that Joe and her met. They are super cute. Here is one of my favorite love-songs. Readers that attended my wedding might recognize it from the mix cd we gave out to guests.
Teenage Fanclub – Did I [...]
Featuring two songs this weekend by Swedish songwriter Jens Lekman. The first song for whatever reason cuts off the last 30 seconds or so, but you get the idea. A perfect pop song that makes me want to dance and wish my only friends weren’t songs.
Jens Lekman – Friday Night At The [...]
I love love love pretty much anything mid-century.
Let’s face it. I pretty much wish I was born in 1934 like my grandparents so I could have lived through mid-century America.
I have been waiting my whole life (not an exaggeration) for mid-century style to come back.
I got a new soundtrack on CD [...]

I’ve shot (or helped shot) several weddings over the last month ….
First, in June I photographed Kristian and Stephanie’s wedding down in Orange County at the Wayfarer’s Chapel. They came in from Oregon to get married in this glass chapel …. I only shot the ceremony and portraits, but it was so so [...]
Ok ok ok I took this title from my good friend Maggie over at Making Me Cranky, but it is one of my favorite features on her site and I think I might start doing one as well…….I promise I’ll think up a new title though. But it’s summertime and songs are important during [...]
Ok, not *technically* the Beatles ….
Although, they DID perform at the Hollywood Bowl (waaay back in 1964-5 I think) …. And recorded an album (The Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl)
(video below … blame the poor sound quality on the legions of crazy fans)
Last Saturday, we ALSO saw the Beatles at [...]
We’ve been watching the X-Files recently.
Apparently (according to Wikipedia), true X-Files fans have named themselves X-Philes (from the Greek root “-phil-” meaning love or obsession). Not that we’re obsessed by any means, but I kind of love that fan-name!
Sidenote: I LOVE that we can live stream movies via Netflix through our Wii. [...]
For the first time in months, I only have 1 book on hold at the library (this is, of course, not counting the books I have already checked out, the books I have at home, the piles and piles of books I still intend to read).
Yes, I would like to get to all [...]
