September 29th, 2005ahh thursday
The coworker has a dentist appointment this morning, so I’m here in the office, all alone.. trying to figure out how to turn on the heat. It’s only 69º, but it’s cold. At least to me.
But it’s Thursday—yay! The day before Friday, and, around here (college town), the first night of the heavy drinking. Not that I plan to indulge in the heavy drinking, mind you. No, no.. I’m going to go home at a reasonable hour and sleep. Ahhhh.. sleep. 🙂
Lately, a very lovely British man has been sending me music. 🙂 🙂 Which makes me very happy, as I am a music whore. Has everybody but me heard of The Shins? Is this a British band that never surfaced in the States?
Pink Bullets and New Slang are by The Shins.
Of course, then Tuesday was new music day at iTunes (yes, my favorite day of the week for that reason only), and Lori McKenna has just put out a new CD. Who, you ask, is Lori McKenna? One of the most brilliant folk writers/singers I’ve ever heard. (And I’ve heard many.)
One Man and If You Ask are two of her new songs. She’s phenomenal.
Oh, I meant to ask.. when I put up music, should I put it all in one file? Does anyone care? Andre puts it into one track, basically, which I kinda like.
…bit of a music hog m’self. 🙂 ah yes, the Shins – an other band that is super huge in Britain (from what I hear) made popular on this side of the pond by a movie soundtrack. …excellent soundtrack though. ha!

Thanks for the tips, I will be sure to check them out. I’m currently obsessed with Ben Harper but I think it is time to move on. He’s so hot though…

Ooo.. Ben Harper. Love him. So then you like Jack Johnson? If so, and you like foreign stuff, you should check out Tete and Corneille. 🙂

Yes, I love Jack Johnson as well, I saw them both in concert last summer in Vancouver and was staring at them through my zoom lens. Hotties! I was horny for a week afterwards… What or who is Tete & Corneille?
Comment by Le will — September 29, 2005 @ 12:50 pm
Me: Yes I do.. and it sucks, lol. They aren’t that cute and they’re highly annoying. 🙂
Le will: Tete and Corneille are hot Frenchmen. Very, very hot Frenchmen. 🙂 I will put up a song or two later today. 🙂

Madeleine Peyroux

really ? what a pity… there is nothing better than fresh meat. See, I am turning from mature-married-with-little-kids-fathers to school babys. Dear, I am changing lol
Comment by me, myself and I — September 29, 2005 @ 3:41 pm
I tend to like older guys Me. 🙂 Stay away from the kids.. lol
Comment by the insider — September 29, 2005 @ 3:48 pm
Ray Lamontagne & Madeleine Peyroux? Excellent choices.
And yes, Insider, everybody but you has heard of the Shins.
And if you ask me, one track would be fantastic. That covers the lot, I think.
Oh, forgot. If you want some French music, try Camille Baz Baz, and Camille (just Camille). One’s a boy, the other’s a girl. Both great. Very different.
Comment by Anne — September 29, 2005 @ 4:13 pm
Oooo.. new French music to go find. Thanks doll! Are you home now? 🙂
And The Shins.. yeah, yeah, yeah. 😛
Hey, get that plane ticket girl. T-day at Harley’s, lol. 🙂
Comment by the insider — September 29, 2005 @ 4:20 pm
Tomorrow I will be. I’ll see about the plane. Doubt it somehow.
Comment by Anne — September 29, 2005 @ 4:39 pm
Fuck Thor’s day. Fuck bosses. Fuck Corporate document whores. Fuck Merck. Fuck our clients.
I think that about covers it.
Sorry, I didn’t get it all out on Cranky Wednesday.

It’s Thor’s day.
Fuckin’ Christians stealing days from my Norse ancestors.
Comment by Grampa — September 29, 2005 @ 5:13 pm
Middle English, from Old English thres dæg, alteration (influenced by Old Norse thrsdagr, Thor’s day), of thunres dæg, Thor’s day (translation of Late Latin Iovis dis, Jupiter’s day) thunres, genitive of thunor, thunder; see (s)ten- in Indo-European Roots + dæg, day; see day.]
Comment by Grampa — September 29, 2005 @ 5:14 pm
One day Anne, definitely.
Grampa.. baby you are having a bad day. Here’s a virtual cup of coffee and a cigarette, just because you know how much I like it when you get all historical on the blog. lol 🙂
