On the road again.
You can’t drive around the United States without seeing approximately 10 zillion billboards for shops that deal exclusively in sexy magazines and “adult novelties.” Usually when I see these signs it triggers my gag reflex, especially because 75% of the time a) I’m in the middle of nowhere, I have had to pee for an hour, and I’m starving, but there are no truck stops...
WatchLombard Street, San Francisco. Voted the place most likely to have me screaming all girly.
Hey, Lindsey Jane Markel, I hope you are paying...
Seized with an overwhelming warmth and affection for you, yes you LJM, I determined that the only satisfying way to express this appreciation for you is via baby polar bear:
That’s how I feel about you. Yes!!
One more time.
A couple of nights ago I saw this and it FUCKING OWNED:
A couple nights before that I saw my buddy
at le Bowery Ballroom and she was dreamy as always.
Greg Laswell/Jenny Owen Youngs Reunion Tour coming in January to the lucky folks in Brooklyn, Boston, DC, and Philly. Lock up your daughters, Mr. Laswell don’t take prisoners.
New Merch.
I spent the majority of the day banging my head against the wall, photoshopping, and HTMLing to bring to you New Merch including, but not limited to, the bunny t-shirt design below (created by the lovely and talented Alison Shepard). OK so if you’ve been to a show recently it’s not that new to you, but sometimes a girl has to wait awhile before she has time to put this kind of crap on...

Last night I attended the Stereogum Gummy Awards 08 Live, starring Deerhunter, at the very impressive Music Hall of Williamsburg. I saw a ton of shows (and even played one) there back when it was still the grungy but lovable North Six, and you’d never know it was the same place. I went to the show on the arm (but not in the sexy way) of one Whitney Matheson, the lovely & talented lady...
Ready to slay.
I have been amassing a bunch of random crap I wanted to type on a glowing screen, and I’ll get there, but first I have to rant for one second about the bill I just received in the mail. While I was in Boston on the Hotel Cafe Tour, I had to go to a clinic to take care of something relatively minor. Well, un-minor enough that they had to transfer me to the ER, but trust me, this procedure,...
Maybe noooooowww you'll stop pushing me pushing me...
YES! Tonight I am playing the bass guitar with Bess Rogers for a few songs of her set at Bar 4 in Park Slope. I should mention that I am not qualified to play the bass guitar but Bess is letting me do it anyway. I reiterate: YES!
There’s also a new podcast up at http://www.myspace.com/oncemorewithfeelingcast … Bess, Andrew and I are joined by guest host Shervin Lainez, of...
