new music sunday

sometimes in new music sunday, the music or song is new to me but not necessarily new to the rest of the world. some good pals and i went to see gillian welch and dave rawlings at the moore last week and were blown a-way. nothing like two encores and a killer jefferson airplane cover to rev you up for the night.

i was introduced this winter to time (the revelator) and loved it from the get-go. so, when i heard look at miss ohio at the show i fell in love. instantly. what gal can't relate to "wanting to do right but not right now" ? 
most of us, i do believe...

blush-worthy

so, a few months back i wrote about a letter project that i was partaking of and wanted to share with you the results...

pretty good, eh? eh?
get your very own sweet (or steamy) letter and poloroid at callmebalthazar.

show me the way, show me the way to shake a memory

saturday lunch

quiet saturday today as the little miss was with her dad. went to the georgetown farmers market and
had a delightful lunch of green chile and cheese tamales with grilled zucchini, beet, onion, cabbage and carrot. a reflective and peaceful day.

a favorite of mine

if you're in the seattle area in august, i HIGHLY recommend hitting the shows at the seattle center mural amphetheater. the shows are free, little one friendly and you can bring a picnic! this year my pal grant is playing on august 12th so, it's definitely on the calendar.
see more details at the seattle center site...

new music sunday

i am kicking myself (ow!) that i didn't get to go to this show last month...a gal's gotta bring home the bacon after all.

at this time, i listen to this album constantly. it's a great change to listen to a strong female performer after fairly consistently listening to male musicians. she's so bad ass...such a powerful force!
