What I missed

So bummed that I missed this:

Carrie finds her voice

Anyone who knows me well knows that if there's one thing I love, it's indie rock. I could not be more excited about the new Wild Flag album that just dropped on Tuesday. Wild Flag is a "supergroup" (I don't really like that term, but I do think they're super, so I'll use it in this instance only), featuring Carrie Brownstein and Janet Weiss (ex-Sleater Kinney), Mary Timony (ex-Helium), and some girl named Rebecca Cole, who I've never heard of before. I've been an S-K fan for years; I've probably seen them live about 25 times, and I was really crushed when they split up. Now I'm thinking it was a smart move because Wild Flag is kinda like S-K's grown up sister -- musically, the sound is much more rounded, and Carrie Brownstein has really learned how to sing. Check it out.

WM3: Free

Truly one of the most amazing true-life stories about humanity. I have followed this story since I was in college and first saw the "Paradise Lost" documentary, and I'm honestly stunned at how it turned out. I've always believed the WM3 were innocent but I never thought we'd actually see them released. To learn more about this case, visit www.wm3.org

Happy Mother's Day

I can't think of a better way to celebrate today than with a little Danzig. And for those of you who need a little reminder of how important your mom really is, Mr. T has a little something to tell you..



What's with the short shorts?

Singing

Hi! Happy Spring! I know it's been a while since I've been here.

I have to say I miss singing. When I was little I would sing all the time and annoy the neighbors, or whoever I was in the car with. I guess I had to tone it down as I got older.

I love this video of Stevie Nicks singing while she gets her make-up done backstage years ago.

So heartwarming.

Happy Earth Week!

It's the beginning of Earth Week, and what better way to kick if off than with the cutest video ever? This little pug amazes me...



Maybe by next year, I will have trained Maxine to recycle...
