MUSIC monday: Menomena

August 30, 2010

A fan video for Menomena’s Dirty Cartoons (Mines album) by Trevor McMahan, Blaine Kneece, Kelly Brickner, and Amalia Luyet. Menomena’s links: myspace, website.

As it turns out, blogging is difficult to do while traveling. I’m busy catching up with close friends and meeting the new little people a few have made in the past year. I’m also going to Menomena’s show at the Crystal Ballroom on Sept 11th and have hopes I can listen to The Nationals the next day without buying a ticket. I will let you know how that goes.

Have a great week!

MUSIC monday : La Excelencia

19 July 2010

One thing I deeply miss living in Denmark is reading the New York Times. I read it online but it doesn’t touch the feeling of holding it and crinkling the pages as you digest all that is happening in the world. But now that I’m in the states, I’m able to read to my heart [...]
