While I like Thao’s recorded output well enough, it doesn’t come close to capturing the sheer joy of their live show. I will never miss a Thao show from this point on, thats for sure. Thank you to Alicia, who is lending her abilities as sound woman for their tour, for getting me into the show. Always such a pleasure seeing her.</p>http://inaverysimpleway.tumblr.com/post/234033860http://inaverysimpleway.tumblr.com/post/234033860Thu, 05 Nov 2009 11:44:11 -0500<object width="400" height="336"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/WXjtDwJGeDI&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/WXjtDwJGeDI&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="336" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"></embed></object><br/><br/><p>Dirty Projectors - No Intention (acoustic)</p> <p>My favorite song from <i>Bitte Orca</i> sounds mighty nice when played acoustic.

My friend got me a free ticket to see the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra perform. No idea what I’m in for, but apparently they will be handing out “complimentary hand drums.” Good times? We shall see. At the very least it is quite a departure from Surfer Blood and the Replacements, who I have been listening to exclusively for four days straight. My brain probably needs a break from that junk anyways.</p> <p>A shame that Subtle Sexuality isnt on tour yet.</p> <p> <object height="283" width="384" data="http://widgets.nbc.com/o/4727a250e66f9723/4aeaedef71090f1d/4aea00d75aa07d4a/77ad161d/-cpid/b5ca9470d5699730" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" id="W4727a250e66f97234aeaedef71090f1d"> <param name="wmode" value="transparent"> <param name="allowNetworking" value="all"> <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"> <param name="src" value="http://widgets.nbc.com/o/4727a250e66f9723/4aeaedef71090f1d/4aea00d75aa07d4a/77ad161d/-cpid/b5ca9470d5699730"></object> </p>http://inaverysimpleway.tumblr.com/post/228033927http://inaverysimpleway.tumblr.com/post/228033927Fri, 30 Oct 2009 12:16:00 -0400<img src="http://9.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ks92tpYeJy1qz4b32o1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>(via <a href="http://catbird.tumblr.com/">catbird</a>)</p> <p>Next years costume.</p>http://inaverysimpleway.tumblr.com/post/227926946http://inaverysimpleway.tumblr.com/post/227926946Fri, 30 Oct 2009 09:46:43 -0400<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="225" data="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=7281206&server=vimeo.com&fullscreen=1&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF"><param name="quality" value="best" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="scale" value="showAll" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=7281206&server=vimeo.com&fullscreen=1&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF" /><embed src="http://www.vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=7281206&server=www.vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="225"></embed></object><br/><br/><p>Wow, Surfer Blood are going to be real popular.</p> <p>(via <a href="http://www.mbvmusic.com">MBV</a>)</p>http://inaverysimpleway.tumblr.com/post/225035421http://inaverysimpleway.tumblr.com/post/225035421Tue, 27 Oct 2009 13:35:42 -0400<a href="http://www.salon.com/news/politics/sarah_palin/index.html">The secret diary of Sarah Palin's ghostwriter - Salon.com</a>: <p>Creepy.

Obviously, I am picking my costume based on quality of facial hair worn by each President. Obviously. I have narrowed it down to two Prez’s:</p> <p>John Quincy Adams</p> <p><img src="http://www.speculativebubble.com/images/john-quincy-adams-2.jpg" width="481" height="361"/></p> <p>Chester A. Arthur</p> <p><img src="http://www.speculativebubble.com/images/chester-a-arthur-2.jpg" width="480" height="360"/></p> <p>It is a tough decision. Chester A. Arthur obviously has the better facial hair. But I know (and love) John Quincy Adams much more than Mr. Arthur. Decisions, decisions.</p> <p>I wish I had the chops (pun!) to pull off the Martin Van Buren look.</p> <p><img src="http://wiseyoungowl.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/450px-08_martin_van_buren_3x4.jpg" width="450" height="600"/></p>http://inaverysimpleway.tumblr.com/post/223965722http://inaverysimpleway.tumblr.com/post/223965722Mon, 26 Oct 2009 13:09:01 -0400<img src="http://6.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ks4n1uvYwp1qzr04eo1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>(via <a href="http://icanread.tumblr.com/">icanread</a>)</p>http://inaverysimpleway.tumblr.com/post/223883619http://inaverysimpleway.tumblr.com/post/223883619Mon, 26 Oct 2009 11:13:28 -0400<object width="400" height="336"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/RV5cOVaF1tA&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/RV5cOVaF1tA&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="336" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"></embed></object><br/><br/><p>Some by Sea - The Winter Rush (Live at Sonic Boom)</p> <p>Nostalgia day!</p>http://inaverysimpleway.tumblr.com/post/222836371http://inaverysimpleway.tumblr.com/post/222836371Sun, 25 Oct 2009 11:53:46 -0400<object width="400" height="336"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/FuPH3op8xAk&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/FuPH3op8xAk&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="336" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"></embed></object><br/><br/><p>Eyes of Autumn - Matthew Alexander (Live in Silverdale)</p> <p>Not the best sound, not even the full song.
