new music sunday

yeah, yeah, i know, i know. i have a little trouble with follow-through. always have.
but it's a new year, so, i believe i am up for the challenge.

i was in my car driving around town the other day listening to these boys and decided that they must be shared as they are so special. nothing like an upright bass. and how sweet is this recording in a botanical greenhouse? darling.

here's to consistency, my friends...

birthday girl

a splendid day...
today was a beautiful, sunny seattle day. i honestly can't remember the last time that i had a birthday with such great weather. truly. in the past, i've had snowy or rainy birthdays (minus the one where we went to disneyworld when i was eight). so, today felt especially wonderful. here's to a new year ahead. i feel good about it, folks...

documentary club

i can get pretty passionate after seeing a compelling documentary. so when i watched art of the steal (shivers, i tell you, SHIVERS!) the other day i felt fueled and powered in a way that a well-written narrative or charming tune can leave me breathless and wanting more. here's some documentaries that are currently in the queue and/or old favorites that i'm quite excited about.
and who knows maybe i'll start a documentary club and invite like minds to watch and discuss. it's forum goodness, folks!
