an idea!
Yo La Tengo are coming your way next week. you are in for a treat of you go. i know weeknights are tough for you but you won't regret it. they put on a great show. i will admit, i am not terribly familiar with their catalog (which is extensive, spanning three decades). so i have an idea to help you study up. i'm'a ask around, see what songs people dig, and post them here. by Wednesday, you should have a good background. here are my first three.
Today is the Day
Autumn Sweater
False Alarm (live in Atlanta, Jan 28, 2011)
if you're super lucky they'll play Nuclear War, and sure you'll hear at least one from And Then Nothing... you will definitely witness plenty of low-slung guitar freakouts, and lots of real pretty singing. they'll probably take some requests, so gather a few in your mind.
and, as i've just discovered, THIS WILL HAPPEN
will you be the lucky lady?

T minus 37ish
impromptu haiku
so i figure if you stay two extra weeks, that should bring you home in about 37 days. (of course, if you travel a bit after, the number will increase. bummer for me, but funner for you. bay area, baby!) my only Damn I Shoulda regret is not thinking to head up Mulholland Drive. (i don't mind having missed the Twin Peaks Exhibition, which was only on for two days. those were totally rad family days.) and i would've loved to see your aunt's house, because i hear it's awesome, but it didn't happen. those things will be there the next time we visit, so it's all good. perhaps i shoulda made more of an effort with cameras, rather than just snapping on my phone when opportunities arose, (not many when you're driving constantly), but the memories are gonna stay strong. i can tell.
one of my put-backs at Amoeba that i kinda wish i'd hung on to was something that kinda caught me off guard, a soundtrack by Sean Lennon for a movie called Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Undead (not to be confused with Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, starring Gary Oldman and Tim Roth) which the sleeve actually said "made on his home computer". usually i don't go for electronic music on vinyl (with very few exceptions) but now, after looking at this trailer, i'm hearing what doesn't sound at all like bedroom music, but really a really solid score to this weird little indie movie. Miho Hatori and Kool Keith make appearances on the soundtrack, which are nice bonuses. AND, ready for this? it's available to stream on Netflix! it's in our queue!
this is right up your alley, babygirl. dare i say it should have better exposure because of the recent vampire craze, a la Twilight... hoping Netflix recommends this to viewers of that kinda stuff. why? because Sean Lennon is John and Yoko rolled into one. you just don't get any cooler than that.
unless you're you. miss you, again.

city of angels
has kept my light long enough
you are its quiet halo
poopin on yourself.
my visit was all
warmth and loving family,
adventures in cars.
waiting for you now
is a little easier,
having a few fresh kisses
to soothe the hunger.
