Find the edge of the world…

Sara

This was Sunday… Joel the Obstinate and Cursed Jetta has been an ornery cuss since spring when he started having problems getting started. If he sat more than two weeks without being driven, he needed to be jumped. Then it started dwindling to less than two weeks, and finally a week after his last jump, he wouldn’t start at all. The battery is only two years old. The original lasted me eight years. Bob’s dad… Keep reading…Find the edge of the world…

Lemon Blondies…

Sara

We like lemon around here. Especially lemon bars. But lemon bars can be time consuming and sometimes a person doesn’t want to wait forever for the lemon bars to set up. The original recipe called these “Cakey Lemon Bar Brownies” or “Lemon Brownies” … as in flavor like a lemon bar, texture of a cakey brownie.

Feels like summer…

Actually, no it doesn’t. It’s only 32 degrees outside. Dang. I had a dream about kissing Matt Nathanson. It was incredibly awkward. His wife was there and got [justifiably] pissed off. Matt didn’t seem to care (his actual words were I don’t care), but she started hucking Little Golden Books at me frisbee-style. Those suckers have sharp corners. Bob called me a home wrecker.* For the record: Matt totally started it. This is my brain… Keep reading…Feels like summer…

We don’t need another life…

At the beginning of the year, Nine Days randomly followed me on Twitter announcing their comeback. (And I reminisced the adorableness of John Hampson.) Some time later they launched a Pledge Music campaign (Kickstarter for music) to fund and support their new album. (Let’s not get into the ridiculous number of music projects I’ve pledged money to in the last six months. So many music makers I love are on this path and…GAH…I am weak….

Through a string of stars…

Toad the Wet Sprocket is releasing their first album in…sixteen? seventeen? years. I got in on their Kickstarter campaign (which funded damn fast and over 5x their goal)…whenever it was on…and I’ve been listening to the new album New Constellation (plus the bonus EPs they released to pledgers) quite a bit. It’s very much Toad. And it’s a refreshing change of pace from the shit on the airwaves these days. Remember 90’s alternative music? That… Keep reading…Through a string of stars…
