song o’ the week
The song o’ the week is Louis Armstrong’s “A Kiss To Build A Dream On“. Heard a touch of this on a commercial or something, and it just flicked a switch or something. i have distinct memories of the two times/places in my life when/where i listened to plenty of Louis; always the usual greatest hits cd… can’t recall if this cut was ever on that disc, but it’s certianly stuck in my head now.

the new music is ruining my lfe
Why am i always the last to know? Seems like i’m always just discovering what everybody else has been raving about for years. KEXP is sockin’ it to me. Well, i wanted some new drugs, and so i shall have them…
Today’s hit is a nice local Canadian band (take that, you Seattlites! There’s more than one northwestcoatsmusicscene!). Motion Soundtrack is my musical darling of the moment. Yes, yes, more of that “atmospheric pop”, but, well, Canadian. So it rocks more.

LOL, i thought she was sending back ALL my stuff!
i was blowing through Victoria a years or so ago, and called up my friends Galadriel & Flash to see what was happening. After getting over the brief shock of hearing i was in town Galadriel asked me, “Do you want to go see a local indie dyke bluegrass band?” Well, who can turn down an invite like that? And so, i was introduced to a great band at one of the best live shows ever. i gave Galadriel $15 and a couple more weeks later a copy of Triangle Mountain by Barley Wik was in my possession. At that point, the band was selling the CD themselves, at concerts (they ran out that night), or through friends and supportive fans.
Just this week, i was brainstorming with a friend while mixing up a few minidiscs, and i recalled Barley Wik, and it dawned on me that Kimber still has my copy! She returned clothes that i’d given her, but not that disc. Worth a good laugh, i tell ya! Well, i can’t blame her; they’re that good, and she always really did like that album.
i see now that they’ve released a second offering, Dusty Lullaby, which i shall have to get ahold of if i can. Maybe two copies; i can think of at least one person who’d appreciate it for Xmas or somesuch…
