  Enjoyments as of late include: + Pygmy Lush - Old Friends. This album is a perfect mixture of the genre’s I’m interested in listening to lately.  Atmospheric downtempo folk-tinged music.  I think my musical tastes are starting to mellow out as I get older.  Pianos recently had the opportunity to play with these guys in Virginia [...]

  On the trip back home from Europe my barely-out-of-warranty laptop’s motherboard went kaput.  After several aggravating conversations with Sony tech support arguing over a recall that was issued on my laptop for an overheating problem I bit the bullet and bought a macbook.  Fuck you, Sony.  Aside from that, things are well.

  On May 14, Fairweather will be playing a reunion show at the Black Cat in D.C. Fairweather’s Lusitania is one of my favorite records so I’m really excited to see those songs live again.  I remember laying in bed during my freshman year of college and listening to that album from front to back each night [...]
