I will be a horrible parent. Last night we discovered that we were out of cat food and did nothing about it. In the morning I fed them (the two cats) the few remaining kitty treats we had in an attempt to satiate their hunger. It didn't work. After I left for work she tried to go to CVS to pick something up, but they don't open until 8AM. Bummer.
I arrived home (with food in hand)to two wide-eyed and starving cats. They both meowed (read: yelled) at the top of their little lungs until there was food in their bowls. How and I supposed to raise a child if I can't even keep my cats bellies full?
AC Newman is the frontman for The New Pornographers. I like his solo record better though. It is a great pop record that I would recommend to fans of Brendan Benson, Spoon, Ted Leo, and basically anyone who likes a good power-pop tune.
If only it were cloudy and snowing outside then it would be a prefect day for State River Widening. Their sound could be described as being from any number of genre hybrids. Is it organic/electro/folk? Is it shimmering folktronica? Does it sound like Four Tet meets Nick Drake? Could you call it minimal modern new age music? Yes. I first heard thir latest record "Cottonhead" last winter and I have really enjoyed it. The music has a certain cinematic quality and an adventureous spirit that really make it stand out from others making this type of music.

babies might like cat treats, you never know. violet's gotten into the dogfood a couple times.
im going to keep cocoa puffs and cocoa pebbles away from hailey for a while until she can tell the difference between those and little brown kitty pellets. =)
I can't believe you put Brendan Benson and Spoon in the same comparison...your a weird fucker! Always with the three comparisons, "Mars Volta is like Rush meets Rage meets the lead singer from YES." But, it's now the standard we all must live by. It's sort of like the new music haiku! And since you started it, we all do it. We are all such sad followers.
When I referred to Spoon, I was thinking more of just the lead singer/songwriter and not necessarily the band's sound as a whole. Sorry if I confused you.
Good choice! I've been looking everywhere for AC Newman's album, I really like the track you posted but I haven't been able to find much more than that.
