New Songs By People I Like

Niels Nielsen has a new song you should listen to (posted just a couple days ago).

Free download, or downloadable for whatever donation you desire.

Also listen to his 2009 album Cmon Vultures Part: 1.
Also free, apart from one track that will cost you a buck and a quarter.

These are the tunes that got me into the guy. I'd be driving down a 400-series highway dodging semis and coppers and a cool-yet-unfamiliar track would pop up on the player. Every time I checked to see who I was listening to it was always Niels Nielsen.


Kathleen Edwards also has two new tracks up on her Myspace (although I have no idea how long they've been there). She's working on a new album and there is absolutely no doubt in my mind it will be as awesome as all her other albums. Perhaps more so. No pressure.

"I Can't Give You Up" is a simple and short and devastating piano-and-voice song. "Lazy Eye" picks up where her last album, Asking For Flowers, left off (that is, on the brink of full emotional collapse). Why does somebody who is so perky and funny in person write and sing such wreck-you-down music? Who cares, just listen.

The vengeful wrath of God dropped upon us by way of six-pronged specks of frozen water.

At this point the American Mid-West has already been hit.
I'm just waiting my turn.
Soon. Soon.

Currently I'm watching "Greatest Cities of the World." This particular episode features Griff Rhys Jones in Rome. Rome is one of the most brilliant amazing brilliant cities I've ever been to, and I recommend visiting it at least once, even if you go broke attempting to do so.

Tourists toss 18,000 Euros worth of change into the Trevi fountain every month, according to Mr. Griff.

I have lots to say about Rome, and I'm sure periodically I'll drop uninteresting tidbits from my Roman experiences.

Should I survive winter's impending doom.
