Metric played second on the main stage yesterday at the Buzz Beach Ball; I was excited to see them, but was surrounded by a number of people who were up front because they wanted to stake out places for later acts (presumably Foster the People, though there was one kid who was very probably half my age, literally, wearing Ray Bans and a 40 Oz. to ( Read more... )

Here are some things I have in my purse:

• pliers
• tuba mouthpiece
• valve oil
• tuner with dead batteries
• umbrella

I think this Kickstarter is relevant to many of my LJ friends' interests!

[Edit: hrmph. Tried to embed the nifty Kickstarter widget. It did not work, so here is a nice and easy link instead!]

I love strings too (though probably not as much as I love brass), and the clip from "The Orchard" put me in mind of Cowboy Junkies, so, hey! :)

I couldn't get the Kansas Public Radio website to load this morning, so I thought I'd see how well Pandora's classical music stations match my tastes.  "Oh look," I thought when perusing the possibilities, "there's a 20th century classical station!"  This pleased me.  I decided to try it.  Many good things!  Barber and Copland and Shostakovich!  Yo ( Read more... )

Oddly enough, I don't have as vivid memories of this one as I do of the previous.  I went with T and hikerbeth; I remember it was not too cold yet, so I wore my gray hoodie for the standing-in-line-outside time and tied it around my waist during the concert.  The concert itself was definitely a good time, at any rate, though!

On Facebook, They Might Be Giants just linked to This Might Be a Wiki, which has cataloged what appears to be every TMBG show ever.  Fun!  This means I can continue my setlist collection!

This concert happened during my second semester of college.  I was in Boston; my boyfriend at the time was at RPI in Troy, NY, which is how I ended up at this show ( Read more... )

Glittering Yules Under the Shadow of an Oak Moon

This day/week/semester has turned my brain to mush.  Have some random thoughts on this year's BPAL Yule offerings.  I'm not looking at the Frankenstein scents here, 'cause I can't even entirely process them (though I did order two decants, ( Read more... )

I went to the farmer's market on Saturday, and it's possible I went a little bit overboard, particularly given that we leave for New England Friday morning, but eeee fresh produce!  This is the first time I've gone to actually buy stuff (thekingt and I went back in April to see what was what, basically, but then I never went back), and while I can't hold ( Read more... )

A story in texts... (well, that's what it was supposed to be when I started out, but then I decided you all needed to know more about the plot to understand where I was coming from, and it just kinda snowballed from there ( Read more... )
