Ohhhh

I haven't listened to too much music lately. It is sad. But tonight I listened to a bunch of Bright Eyes and Basia Bulat. and life was good.

I send Basia a letter last year asking her a bunch of questions and telling her how much I loved her music, can you believe she never wrote back? I'm going to stick with the story I concocted that is she never got the letter because that is what makes me feel happier. I'm quite sure she is still a wonderful person. Then there was all the trouble I went to in order to secure some tasty cakes for Ms. Holly Rancher. Sadly her blog appears to be no more but I would have really liked to read her review of my childhood comfort food.
       All this is rambling I suppose but the point is it can be hard to separate the music you love from the people who play it and it's ok for them to be separate. I can't wait for BB's new album to come out. If "It Can't Be You" is any indication of what will be on it then we have a lot to look forward to. I also dearly wish she would release a decent recording of "I'm So Depressed" but I don't think that will happen.
       I have posted a few videos online of music by her and I must say that I am very surprised by people commenting on her appearance. Not so much in that a few people have been less than kind (how on Earth do you get anything other than adorable) but that they should care at all. She makes such beautiful music that she could look like a Madagascar baby Aye-aye and I really wouldn't care.

Anyway those are just a few ideas for a stormy night.
