I love The New Pornographers more and more.
Plus, you just can never go wrong with Neko Case and that voice.
That voice. She could sing about anything and I'd just get lost in it.
I know the album's been out for a little bit but it's just hitting me in the right way today so I felt like sharing it.
This decade is beginning to wind down and so I am starting to go through all the music of this last year. Revisit, recollect, reminisce.
2009 was a tough one for me, but more importantly, it was a rewarding year,
that included best of all - falling madly in love with someone who I'll soon be marrying.
Early in the year, I was living in Los Angeles for a brief moment and one lunchtime I was lucky enough to catch an acoustic and intimate performance of Neko Case at Hotel Cafe.
Dyrayll was visiting me then and it was the near-end of my time there in that sunny, lonely city and on the verge of moving out to New York.
Later in April, a few months settled in to living with one another and still wildly in love, Bailey and I caught her again at the Nokia Theater.
