Fiery Furnaces @ Cain’s Ballroom 01-24-10

Published by Jennifer under Music

Fiery Furnaces

On Sunday night, my sister and I came in from the frigid air of a quiet downtown Tulsa to see the Fiery Furnaces at Cain’s Ballroom. The Brooklyn brother-sister team (Eleanor and Matthew Friedberger) was laid back when we arrived: Eleanor hanging out in the small crowd consisting of 30-40 fans, and Matt selling t-shirts [...]

We didn’t get in early enough to get to the front, but I did manage to get some OK photos at the Cain’s ballroom Decemberists show earlier this month:

101 Things for Which I’m Thankful

Christine & Natasha in Grandpa

Since I have so much to be thankful for, and since it is Thanksgiving, I wanted to do a stream-of-consciousness post on 101 things I’m thankful for.  I thought about ordering them at first, but that just didn’t seem right somehow. 1. Natasha, Natasha, Natasha, Natasha, Natasha; my sweetest of sweets daughter.  I’ve been ‘in [...]

New Regime

Published by Jennifer under Music

Glenn Gould

I couldn’t sleep this morning – I was wide awake at 4:00 and couldn’t get back.  I tried the usual plane crash daydreams but to no avail… so I thought it was the perfect opportunity to start my new regime. I’d been planning to make some changes this week anyway and was falling behind, so [...]

i’ll believe in anything…

Wolf Parade + Spencer Krug

if you’ll believe in anything. I took a rare week night out with my sis and her husband to go see Wolf Parade at The Marquee in Tulsa tonight – it was the best show I’ve seen in years. First we stumbled out of the T-storms & tornadoes into “Lola’s,” a dia de los muertos themed [...]

Memo To Myself

Published by Jennifer under Music,Piano

If you’re getting back into piano after a ten-year break, don’t try to jump back in with Liszt’s Hungarian Rhapsody #2.  (No matter how much you really really want to play it). No one plays this like Horowitz.

And the Award for the Cutest Band of the Year Goes to….

Conor Oberst at Cain’s

Published by Jennifer under Music

Conor Oberst

Well my husband and I got to see Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band at Cain’s recently and enjoyed the laid-back show that Conor and the new band put on.  Since it was him and his new band, we didn’t get to hear all those classic Bright Eyes songs like “Let’s Not Shit Ourselves [...]

The Faint: Fasciinatiion

Published by Jennifer under Music

Fasciinatiion

I got the promo Fasciinatiion CD in the mail last month and I’ve had a few listens and it’s been entertaining.  It’s the kind of CD you’ll want to turn up in the car and your drive will be really great, but then a week later you may forget you ever had it. My favorite songs [...]
