What I’m Listening to…
These posts are few and far between nowadays… never fear though… I am still listening to music. Promise. And no worries, there will be no Taylor Swift on this post…
Obviously, The Arcade Fire ‘Suburbs’…
My favorite track is definitely ‘Suburban War’
Future of Forestry Travel II & Travel III EPs:
I had a chance to see them live in July… and I would do it again.
John Mark McMillan ‘The Medicine’
On the recommendation of many friends and the fact that it was $5 on Amazon.com (plus I had a $5 credit there…) I made this purchase (and I’m definitely a fan of the song ‘How He Loves’) and I am quite pleased with it… it has a raw feel and sound like a lot of people said, and I’m really appreciating it. ‘Carbon Ribs’ is the song is sticking out to me on a few listens…
…and just to diversify a little, the soundtrack to ‘Amelie’ by Yann Tiersen…(you probably wouldn’t put it on the same mix with most the above mentioned songs… unless… you were slightly ambitious and a touch crazy like myself… because I might just do that.)
Yann Tiersen is amazing. This one is completely quirky… but if you like gorgeous piano music I would recommend the score to ‘Good Bye Lenin’ or a Yann Tiersen Pandora station….
Future of Forestry
Last Wednesday I went with some friends to see Future of Forestry in Columbus while they were on their Travel tour…. (I highly recommend Travel I, II & III) I was able to pick up Travel III while at the show…and that’s pretty much what I was listening to all last week in the car.
Here are a few blurry shots from my point-and-shoot, if you want to see some better ones- head over to my friends flickr & check them out. (they are way better than mine) I’m not really one for toting around my camera/gear at a show… I know- what’s wrong with me?
The drummer/computer techie/ bassist/ guy who played every instrument played a toy piano at one point (and a trombone) and I took some video of it, however, I filmed it….sideways. Because I’m awesome like that….so, I’ll have to figure out how to rotate it so I can post it.
Robin&Philip- Wedding Preview
My good friend Robin got married yesterday…!! I was honored and excited to share in the festivities. It was a beautiful day… and I can’t believe she’s married! Crazy! The day consisted of a girl dance party in the dressing area, photos in the park, Dumb&Dumber references during the ceremony, and my favorite part of photographing the day… the just married Mr.&Mrs. snuck outside with me directly after the ceremony and shot some “newlywed” photos in the setting sun…
That one is straight out of the camera. When you have a beautiful couple and amazing sunlight, you don’t need processing!
…and, I must confess, I was pretty excited about all the cupcakes. They were amazing. Me & Kate both thought so.
Emily, Oh! Head Bands….
Hey all,
I’ve had a lot of inquiries about my flower head-bands…. as seen in these photos, sported by myself….
… and I’ve found a brand of silk(ish) flowers that I absolutely adore, so I was wondering if anyone has any interest in purchasing their own?
Right now, I’m offering two different types, the full-blown, dramatic, oversize Josephine Blossom Band:
…and for the girl who may not be prepared for to take on the ENTIRE blossom (that’s a lot of flower, I know!)… the more demure, but no less girlie, Juliet Bud Band:
Now, I just snapped these photos quickly this morning when I didn’t even have any make-up on, so I’ll post some more official photos later this weekend/Monday when I have the chance, so you all can see the product a bit better, but right now, I have a total of 2 Juliet Blossom Bands in light Pink (as shown in the photo) and 3 over-sized Josephine Blossom bands, 1 in Crimson, and 2 in light pink (as shown).
These come on a one-size fits all elastic black band and look gorgeous with your hair up, down, curly or straight! I have about 5 of them that I wear whenever I need a little something to dress my outfit up! (As a wedding photographer, I find that they are the perfect accessory, as I don’t wear a lot-if any- jewelry other than earrings because it gets in the way of the camera and bag- so these add a little flair and are out of the way!)
I’m offering a deal for anyone interested, the Juliet Bud Bands are $10 ea (+shipping) and the 3 Josephine Blossom Bands are $15 ea(+shipping) - these prices are just for these 5 bands! If you’re interested, let me know- leave a comment with your e-mail and I will be in touch. Also, if you are interested in a color not offered- please let me know and I will create a custom band for you!
More photos to come!
Weekend in Photos Pt III
Saturday, a bunch of good friends graced my home with their presence… we had good food, watched….amusing online videos, talked and just hung out. I love having people over. I need to do it more often.
Sunday I invited my family over for brunch so my mom wouldn’t have to do anything… our dining room table isn’t very large, so I set up the coffee table as a makeshift dining area….
My sis-in-law made this GORGEOUS(and delicious) fruit salad.
I had made this for my party… but I completely forgot to serve it! So the family got to enjoy it. Strawberries, yellow cake, white chocolate pudding and cool whip…. so good. Layers of strawberry shortcake yumminess.
Music: The ‘Non-Guilty Pleasure’ List
Current list of music I am not semi-sheepish about?
She & Him ‘Volume II’ (currently playing in my apartment)
Miss Zooey and Mr. M. Ward. Retro and fun.
The Civil Wars ‘Poison & Wine EP’
I had downloaded their free live EP from Noisetrade a while ago- and I had the chance to see them live at Cedarville back when Switchfoot played… they were amazing. (I feel like I use that word too often… they were, fantabulous? Beautific?) I finally got around to downloading their official EP the other day. ‘Go’ was my song for catching the moon the other night. Please, listen to them immediately.
Side-note: chances are, if I follow you on FB or Twitter(mostly Twitter- I don’t have a whole lot of use for facebook) and I know you have pretty impeccable taste in music? I Twitterstalk you. Not even joking. You mention music and I’ll be all over that. That’s how I found The Civil Wars (thanks @philwing and @livethisdream) and that’s how I was reminded of this next band I’ve been listening to. (thanks @jelchison)
Paper Route ‘Are We All Forgotten’ & ‘Absence’
I had stumbled upon ‘Are We All Forgotten’ a while ago thru another blog I read and RelentvantMagazine.com, but I had forgot that a full album was coming out… till I was twitterstalking the other day. Yay for twitter- double yay for atmospheric, semi-80s over the top- full on dramatic- music.
The Glorious Unseen ‘Tonight the Stars Speak’ & ‘The Hope that Lies in You’
- I really love their lyrics and overall sound. They’ve been my soundtrack to and from work for a couple weeks now- I try to take my morning drive to pray, so, its been a great choice.
And lets not forget Jonsi ‘Go’:
We all know I’m a sucker for “Sigur Ros’ (Yeah, my tattoo is Sigur Ros inspired, sucker, nerd, po-tay-to, pa-ta-to) and this album is great. Magical. Sparky. Happy. Inspiring.
Anyone have any more recommendations?
I Heart Lists-I’m a Nerd. Its Cool.
“I’m intentionally ADD today- I feel like I have a million things I want/need to do… so I’m going to do them all at once.” - my latest tweet.
(Tangent- I kind of hate that word. ‘Tweet’. It feels like I should be starring in ‘Bambi’ and talking about being twitterpated. I hope whoever invented Twitter gets a good laugh every time a sane, grown-up uses those words- end of tangent.)
On my to-do list today:
-start cleaning/fixing up the apartment for next Saturday night (party!)
-Run to Goodwill to find some vases/glass-ware for my book shelf display
-Get sidetracked by the dress wrack at Goodwill and end up in the dressing room with 5 dresses. (I only purchased 2)
-Purchase a tray with GOSH-AWFUL cherubs on it to at a later date recover with decorative paper (something else to do!)
-Dishes
-Make Mac ‘n Cheese for a cook out tonight (its gonna be boxed, but its from Trader Joe’s, so, that’s healthy, right?)
-Driving home from Goodwill (in the full 3.5 minutes it takes me) I came up with a topic to blog about so I had to sit down immediately before the idea floated away and get some words down. I have written three(!) essay/posts this week… I haven’t posted any of them, but they’re there, waiting to be edited and posted. In the past few months, God has re-awakened the desire in me to write. I find myself putting pen to paper quite often, and you’ve probably noticed the blog containing more WORDS as of late, (partly due to the fact that photos+winter=blah) but I am so excited. I hope you all don’t mind me posting more ‘personal’ posts mixed in with the photos?
-Watch the ‘Anne of Green Gables’ movies with my sis-in-law and a friend
-My roomie is GRADUATING from CEDARVILLE Saturday!!!! (Go Evonne! You’re done!! YAY) and I have to figure out a super awesome grad gift for her… because she’s amazing and made it like Christmas the other day when she blessed me with an incredible random gift of encouragement.
-Finish my momma’s M-Day gift. Seriously. I told my friend to keep me accountable on finishing it (I’m kind of a ’start-a-project-then-go-on-to-something-else-without-finishing’ kind of gal… ) but I HAVE to finish this. She actually asks me, and… I kind of want to give my mom something next Sunday… because she’s pretty amazing and wonderful and super, and beautiful and one of the reasons I have my many artistic and musical talents.
So… here I am blogging when I have a million things to do…. yup. Sounds about right.
And because this IS a photography blog…here’s one from one of the first Spring days we had a month or two ago… straight outta the camera… my beautiful sister:
The Night Sky
My last twitter/tweet/whatever:
“the moon is GORGEOUS tonight & I’m on a mission to sit on a blanket in the field across the street and capture it.“
And the results…
My soundtrack? The Civil Wars. (perfect.)
More on the Flickr
p.s.- flickr pixelated them when it uploaded them… bleh… but they’re basically SOOC except for some white balance adjusting.
Guilty Pleasures…(music related)
I thought I’d do a ‘bare-my-soul-guilty-pleasures’ post…. Its a long time coming, especially because I’m usually a self proclaimed music snob (oh, the pretentiousness- I’m so sorry). Read on and mock mercilessly. I’m prepared.
1. Taylor Swift
Initially it was just a fascination with her hair… I was trying to figure out how to curl mine like it… and that lead to watching youtube videos of her to see her hair… and then ‘Love Story’ was stuck in my head for three days straight… I’ll admit it. She’s in my itunes library now.
2. Kanye West
Just this album. I can’t make it through any of his other stuff. But ‘Heartless’ and ‘Love Lockdown’… um. Sickeningly catchy. Besides, William Fitzsimmons’ cover of ‘Heartless’? Ah-mazing.
Who else… hmmm…. I know there’s more…
I’ve admitted that ‘Owl City’ makes me feel like a giddy pre-adolescent girl (which, I’m not sure I ever truly was) so, that’s a bit of a guilty pleasure, right?
I used to have a thing for Ashlee Simpson… (in the MUSIC sense ya’ll) so she’s in my library. (nostalgic) Strangely enough it was the hair style that started that one as well. That was when I was in the layered, BLACK BLACK hair faze of my life… But ‘Autobiography’ is the album I have. And am most ashamed of. But hey, at least if you ever scroll thru my ipod, I’ve confessed!
Jewel. Specifically ‘This Way’ (I never really listened to any of her others)
I listened to this album during… junior year? Senior year? I don’t know. But its majorly nostalgic for me. I love it.
Enya.
I like Enya.
Yup. So corny. But she’s like a crazy soundtrack… to a non-movie.
scanning for more…
Oh, okay. One Republic. Am I permitted to say that I like the song ‘Apologize’? Sorry. (oops, its too late to….well, you know…) I do. I admit, a lot of these are songs/artists that are SO over played on the radio and television… but, see, the thing is… I don’t listen to the radio. (ever) and I rarely watch TV. So… that really doesn’t effect me.
Michelle Branch.
I’ve always liked Michelle Branch. And I still do…
I do have Beyonce’s ‘Single Ladies’- I bought it for a mix I made for a friend and it sort of just stayed in my library.
Oh…. and… here’s probably my biggest confession. See, I bought it for the same friend I bought ‘Single Ladies’ for… (cough, Kate, cough) and then we listened to it a LOT… and now its got goofy memories… and its catchy… gosh darn it… I have a Miley Cyrus song on my ipod. ‘Party in the USA’. I’m so ashamed.
Other than that, you’ll find a Black Eyed Peas album, (Boom Boom Pow- catchy and awful at the same time), one Fergie song and a Rhianna song because I like them if I work out… I DO have one of the Twilight audio books in my itunes library… (sorry.) plus I have the soundtracks from both the Twilight movies. But those are actually GOOD. Bands like Muse, Death Cab, Bon Iver ect… (I don’t have any of the Linkin Park songs, OR even Paramore… I never got into Paramore.)
So maybe I’ve lost all my cool points. Maybe my blogsphere readers will drop off (not that I’d know… I have no idea how to tell who reads this and who doesn’t.) and maybe I’ve lost all cool points and you’ll never take a music recommendation from me again… (that would be sad) but at least I won’t have to blush and explain myself if you’re ever scrolling thru my ipod (my sister likes to do this and say “a Rhianna song, really?” and then I point out that SHE has Katy Perry on hers… plus, I update HER ipod on MY computer, so she’d better not complain.
Adventures in the Kitchen
As I said in a previous post- I’m working on cooking more at home, eating GOOD food (non-processed, non-fast-food) on a more regular basis. Plus, I’m finding out that I love to cook. I love chopping and stirring and the presentation. I love all the colors…. so I’m going to do my best to document my adventures here on the blog- food photography is fun.
Friday night I finally got around to making some nachos…
They were so pretty- I almost hated to eat them. (almost)
I fried the chicken up with some lime… yum. Then I topped blue tortilla chips with the chicken, black beans, sharp cheddar, lettuce, tomato, sour cream, green onions and a little salsa. Mmmm.
Then this morning before I headed off to work, I finally got around to making the French Toast I’d been craving for a couple weeks now. (But I didn’t have any eggs till yesterday)
Topped the French Toast with fresh strawberries and powdered sugar (AND real Maple syrup) So good.
P.S. For those of you who enjoy my ‘outift’ posts, I’ve started a Tumblr account/blog/thing just for that…. so check it out! There’s a new outfit up! Its a Peacock Feather Day
Music to Fit the Mood
So if I had to describe my mood tonight with music… these two songs by Tegan & Sara come to mind…
Call it Off & Where Does the Good Go . Both these songs have been played over and over again on itunes, on mix CDs, in the car, on the ipod…
The wind in all its glory…
The sunshine in all its golden warmth…
The flowers formed in delicate beauty, & the majestic clouds skirting high above…
Nothing compares to the glorious wonder of a God who sent His son,
To save a wretch like me;
An imperfect, flawed and tragic being.
The grace and mercy of the cross can never compare to anything else on earth.
He makes beautiful things out a vast expanse of nothingness. Writers block never plagued Him, He never had a lack of inspiration… He is truly the Great and Magnificent Creator.
Day in the Life…
Rosi Golan @ Southgate House
Me and some lovely girlies drove down to Newport last night to see Rosi Golan at Southgate House… we made a stop at Noodles&Co. for dinner… my first time ever (I think the phrase ‘noodle virgin’ was uttered, strange and sort of awkward sounding, but it happened)
I got Pad Thai, and it was delicious.
Kate got Mac ‘n Cheese
Kari got soup AND noodles…. special….
And Robin got something spicy…
It was kind of freezing out… so we got Starbucks before the show at Barnes&Noble… where I spotted Rosi Golan… but, I felt awkward going up to her, so I just stalked her at a distance for a little bit and then we headed over to Southgate House.
So then… Rosi was at her table, and was like, okay, we should go over and say hi… and they were all like, “Yes!… we’ll follow YOU.” Right, because I’m the outgoing one? Seriously guys? But I totally did it. (bet you weren’t expecting that twist!) and I admitted to Rosi that we had spotted her in B&N… and she was super nice and let us get a photo with her…
one of the opening acts… Luke… something. I don’t remember offhand, but he was good! Amazing on the guitar.
Rosi was amazing, just like the last time I saw her @ Southgate… such an amazing voice.
Sunday Night
I took a three hour nap today starting just before 5pm… I slept for three solid hours. I don’t do that very often, so when it happens, I figure I need the sleep- probably catching up from Wednesday night when my roommate and I stayed up till 3:30 a.m. talking- I loved it, but I just can’t stay up like that anymore.
Tonight I decided to put together a playlist of songs that represent me… an ‘Introduction to Me’ as it were… I ended up with 61 songs, clocking in at 4.3 hours worth of music. Closer to a boxed set than a mix cd. Its not even all the songs I currently love… more like the classics I always go back to… songs that I consistently love, and have loved, for a long time.
So, then I took an editing eye and cut it down to 1.2 hours worth of music, which is the amount that fits on a blank cd… here’s what I came up with:
Mostly mellow, and yes, even sort of sad and depressing at times… its not that I don’t listen to up-beat and happy music, but these are the songs that make me feel something deeper than just bouncy and sun-shiney… these are songs I have a connection with. (In fact, I think I’ve heard almost half of them performed live I just realized- how cool is that?!)
So… enjoy this is a small part of me.
Inspiration Friday Vol. VII
I’ve been feeling crafty lately, meaning I want to make things, not in a Hogwarts wizard/witch type of way… (just so we’re clear.) So I’ve busted out some DIY stuff and its been great. Plus, now that Thanksgiving is over I’m letting myself listen to Christmas music! I’m probably a total dork, but I love it….
A little sample of my holiday music collection… a little Frank Sinatra, some Copeland, Sufjan Stevens ect…
…and then here’s a few things I’ve made lately…
some cake plates made from vintage dishes and cups I thrifted (and two-part epoxy glue) the link to a site with directions is on my Flickr
Cooking counts too, right?
Some Chocolate Trifle I made for Thanksgiving… So easy, chocolate cake, chocolate pudding, whipped topping, chocolate chips all layered pretty in a Trifle dish….
Then I put this little wreath together today after I put up some Christmas lights…
Now I think I get to go get dinner with some lovely ladies and possibly visit my little sister while she’s working retail on Black Friday….
Inspiration Friday Vol. VI
This week…. its music. Because I am finally catching up. Whew. So happy. I cannot describe how much I love finding new music or hearing a new album by an artist I love… almost as much as hipsters love skinny jeans and v-neck t-shirts. Seriously.
First up…
Hello Hurricane by Switchfoot
I honestly haven’t listened to a Switchfoot album since “The Beautiful Letdown” (which I LOVED by the way) “Nothing is Sound” and “Oh Gravity” just didn’t appeal to me when they came out… but I was hearing how amazing this album was, and after really digging Jon Foreman’s solo projects I decided to give it a listen. So good. First song that grabbed me was “Always”. Figures. Piano. A bit softer… but my goodness. It kind of sounds magical when you first hear it… at least to me. “Love is a Song”, “The Sound (John M. Perkins’ Blues)” are also good ones… but I think I like the whole album.
Strict Joy by The Swell Season
Still listening to this one… I’m not sure it’s as catchy as the “Once” soundtrack, but that had the movie to back it up and add emotional connections so I can’t really compare. I like it, but not sure its too incredibly special. “Low Rising” is definitely catchy, and it reminds me of Ray Lamontagne, who I like, so, its not bad. “I Have Loved You Wrong” is good too… piano + Markéta Irglová’s vocals… again, can’t be bad.
NEXT….
Church Music by David Crowder Band
- I just got this, so I haven’t really formed a solid opinion… but nothing really has grabbed me other than their version of “How He Loves”
(M)orning EP by Mae
… so after “Singularity” I was sort of bummed with Mae… “Singularity” was all crunchy guitars and catchy hooks and not the piano driven rock that I had come to love. (so much so that I think I have seen them play live at least 5 or 6 times, a record for me) I had listened to a couple of the songs on this ep when they had them up on their website during the past year, but I was just sort of “eh” about the whole thing. After discussing this EP with a friend I decided to check it out… first listen it was a bit strange. Especially the instrumental pieces. (flute solo anyone?) but after a few listens I’m warming up to it… “Night/Day” is definitely one of my favorites on it, and even though some of the lyrics on “Boomerang” sort of weird me out (”…You’re my boomerang…”?) I really like it musically towards the end of the song.
“Ocean Eyes” and “Maybe I’m Dreaming” by Owl City
OMG! Sorry… Owl City makes me feel like I should exclaim everything while giggling and bopping my head… but in a good way. I seriously got early highschool flashbacks when I listened to “Ocean Eyes” … of what, I’m not sure specifically, but they were there. Giddy was the original word I used… its ridiculous, poppy music, a hint of Postal Service, a dash of PlayRadioPlay! and a pinch of Matt Thiessen’s vocals. (did I spell his name right? Relient K’s vocalist?) This guy knows how to rhyme his words, that’s all I have to say… love the song “Fireflies” (gosh, this is music I should probably be embarrassed to love, but I don’t!!) “Hello Seattle” is fun as well… but then again, it’s all fun.
The Weekend
This has been a chill weekend for me… I photographed the amazing Turner family (I’m not even biased!) on Saturday, and another great family today, hung out with my house church and packed Operation Christmas Child boxes. (I think we packed around 40!! So awesome, and so, so much fun!) But I also had time to sleep in, spend time with the sisters, edit photos, watch a couple movies and just chill at home. This weekend was a blessing. Plus, totally gorgeous weather. November and no coat needed! That’s my kind of weather.
I got to the location I met my family at a little early today, so I snapped a few photos while waiting for them to arrive… I need to do this more often. I always say that, but I rarely shoot anything other than portraits… so today I shot some scenery and different textures that caught my eye….
More on my flickr… if you’re interested.
In other news… I am so behind on music lately… I don’t have the new Switchfoot (but I finally listened to it… amazing!) or the new Swell Season (Listened to this too….so good!) OR the new Tegan&Sara, and I completely missed when Mae put out their new (M)orning ep… what else am I missing? I’m sure there’s more. At least I heard about Copeland breaking up…. so sad… but at least I was in the loop… Gosh. I need to get back on the horse… or, whatever the saying is… ever since they cut our budget at work and I don’t order anything anymore… I haven’t kept up on music reviews and releases… I mean, there could be a “High School Musical Karaoke Version 7.0″ soundtrack available, and I wouldn’t even know! (okay, not so sad that I don’t have all that taking up memory space in my head)
Help me out here people…. any new music released lately that I missed? I was keeping a list… but then I lost it, as I often tend to do. Good intentions and all that….
Inspiration Friday Vol. II
This week I have been nesting in the apartment. We’re having a few people over tomorrow night, so I’ve been working on getting some things together… decorating, grocery shopping, asking my mom for her chili recipe (I’m cooking tomorrow… here’s hoping I do an half-way decent job…)
Have I mentioned that I was an interior design major in college? I don’t really do anything with the degree professionally, never have… but I am an interior design magazine junkie, and I am always trying things out at my own place…
So I’ve been inspired by beautiful interiors this week…. (once again none of these photos are mine, ALL photos found via WeHeartIt)
Music I’ve been listening to this week includes Peter Bjorn & John, and Feist & Ben Gibbard singing “the Train Song” (soooo good. Please find it somewhere and have a listen.)
Inspiration Friday Vol. 1
I’ve decided to start posting things that inspire me on Fridays (since my work-week is generally Mon-Thurs, I have some time to catch up on Fridays) I’ll use Fridays as a chance to post photos, eye candy, blogs I follow, music, what-have-you… anything that I have found inspiring during the week….
Let me start out by saying that I found WeHeartIt and am in love with this site. I’m able to clip inspiring images and photos from the site, or anywhere else on the web, and it keeps track of them for me (much more time and space effecient then putting them on a folder on my computer….) There’s all types of gorgeous eye candy on the site. (Granted, its probably more female oriented… but score. I’m a girl)
Here’s just a few images that are inspiring me, and making my fingers itch to pick up my camera….
(check out my WeHeartIt site to see credits: emilyo)
This week I have been listening to Death Cab for Cutie’s “Plans” album (its perfect for early fall) a mix CD my roomate made me, and the new David Gray album, “Draw the Line”. All beautiful fall music. (Thanks Phil, you were right about the David Gray)
Music Artist Session: David Story
a couple shots from a recent music artist shoot I did with local artist David Story: http://davidstorymusic.com/
… and if anyone knows of anyone that needs photography for anything… I would be eternally grateful if you would pass along my name, card, website, ect… times are sort of tough right now and I could really use some gigs. Senior photos, family photos for the soon to be needed Christmas cards? Weddings, children, couples, engagements, events, artistic shots… I will do whatever you need!
-em
Music and Life
I love music. I love live music. I generally drive at least an hour to see live music. This is how it is. Mute Math… what can I say. I’m always sort of on the fence when I hear their albums… but then I see them live, and it’s like, wow. Amazing. Highlights were “Clipping” (Love that song) and, the encore (which I called) “Spotlight” (even if it automatically brings to mind scenes from Twilight.) Amazing show. Once again though, I am a failure with the camera thing. No professional cameras were allowed, but I had my trusty point and shoot… which, had a dead battery. Again. Maybe third times a charm? I got about 3 so so photos with the camera, then had to use the phone. But whatever. I don’t want to live life through a viewfinder.
In other news, I got my hair colored last week….a little red/copper put in instead of the blonde.
…and this is how I spent last Saturday…mmmm…my apartment complex has an inground pool, and it isn’t closed yet….
Beach
Vacation was amazing.
….and I just ordered the new Imogen Heap album (delux with an instrumental cd!), the new Ingrid Michaelson and the new Fine Frenzy albums. (okay, so pre-order on some of them.)
I bought the new Mute Math the other day. It’s good. Planning on catching them in September in Cinci.
