Thank you for choosing TypePad for this blog, you have made my day.
On SFist:
Thanks for remembering me, mpantone. <3
These are the most recent photos I've used as wallpaper on my iPhone:
Currently, my wallpaper is this:
It's been over two months since I did a post roundup - did any of y'all forget that I have another blog that I update more regularly than this one?
Last week's posts shared a theme: they were all about some of the art I'll be hanging in my new apartment.
5/27: Tree Stump Phonographs
I commissioned some art from Wexford Girl and coveted some pieces by Mark Fox.
5/28: Play
Once upon a time, a rock star named Moby drew me a special drawing. I framed it.
5/29: Animals & Instruments
I own seven pieces of art by Susie Ghahremani.
5/30: A Lady and A Gentleman from Boston
Check out what Ben and Mena got me for my birthday this year.
And since last week was only a four day (work/blog) week, here's a bonus completely unrelated to art:
5/23: Fire all of your guns at once
I got my motorcycle license!
Share a song you loved way back in the day.
Billy Joel's "Just the Way You Are" was one of my early favorites, and it still breaks my heart when I hear it.
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are."
I woke up this morning with the inexplicable need to listen to Dio. "Holy Diver" is a pretty incredible song, but check out the video:
I'm trying to post more often on art is the new religion, so here's another roundup to catch you up through mid-March.
3/5: Drink To Good Times
Have I told you lately that I love PJ Harvey's Uh Huh Her?
3/6: That little girl is going to break that little boy's heart
In anticipation of seeing my dear friend David Poe at SXSW, I shared a live performance of one of my favorite songs of his.
Another longtime friend of mine, Chris in Ann Arbor, says he enjoys reading my blog but that I shouldn't point out when I'm writing about my friends. I think it would be weird to pretend I don't know someone I'm writing about. Hmm, thoughts?
3/12: car radio, i hardly knew ye
RIP car radio, 8/2007-3/2008.
3/13: SXSW: Motörhead at Stubb's
Lemmy's jeans appeared to have been painted onto his body. He is a fascinating character.
3/14: Bon Iver is breaking my heart
I somehow missed all of Bon Iver's many showcases at SXSW.
3/15: iPhone Hack
It was Case's idea. And it worked!
3/16: This is the room one afternoon I knew I could love you
I believe this is the first poll I've ever posted on AITNR. Please take a moment to vote.
I finally got around to buying two sets of acoustic strings this weekend so I could re-string my guitars. The old strings have been on for WAY too long, so long that I kind of forgot how much a set of guitar strings costs. Lucky for me, the dude at the music shop gave me some sort of buy-one-get-one-free deal that I only realized after I got to my car and looked at the receipt. Thanks buddy!
My old strings had been on for so long that my stringing technique was a little rusty, and I promptly broke the high E string, rendering the other five strings kind of useless. (Do people call it the "high E string"? I am not a professional.) Note to self: It would have been wiser to start with the sturdier E string first. And don't forget to allow that "give" before you start winding.
This is mainly for Simmons, but also for anyone else who might be a fan of The Gutter Twins, Screaming Trees and/or The Afghan Whigs:
Fire up your DVRs because The Gutter Twins are playing Letterman tomorrow night. Look for my roommate behind the keyboards!
