girl visiting new york city

dear friends,

met up with ms. hannah friday evening to catch ciaran flynn's set at piano's in preparation for upcoming dublin summer. check out a few songs here or here.

afterwards we concluded our evening of irish music in a logical manner with a feast of pototoes from the jewish deli around the corner.





i promise i don't wear that necklace everyday, even though photos posted online suggest otherwise.

samamidon=well worth a trip on nj transit

dear friends,

last night brought a return to nyc-show going after a long and inadvertent hiatus. it was lovely to see ms. hannah and to return to tonic. (as an aside, while waiting for hannah, i decided that i am pretty sure the lower east side toy company across the street is not a toy company at all.)

samadion is a little folkier than i have been used to of late, but i really enjoyed the show. i recommend it for the following groups:

- those raised on an early diet of johnny cash, patsy cline and willie nelson
- those whose dads aren't as rad as mine who want to pretend they were raised on above diet
- supporters of music collectives/communes and rotating rosters (see also: work on doveman)
- appreciators of tears for fears covers
- fans of "liturgical dance" (requires going to the show)
- wannabe neo-appalachians (reasonable facsimilie: mildly crunchy)

i have posted two tracks here. how can you say no to a tears for fears cover?

shout, shout let it all out.
