when i was at lollapalooza a few years ago i had the extreme pleasure of seeing fitz & the tantrums (from across a very large field). they are, to this day, one of the most magnetic bands i have ever seen live. i can't wait to see them this sunday night in new york city--the new album is pretty incredible. give it a listen, won't you?

back in march i went with my dear, dear friend kim to see the lone bellow. i didn't know their music terribly well, so when they began to play this song, my stomach sort of bottomed out when i heard that musical phrase that makes up the title.

every-once-in-a-while a man will do something or say something and set a new bar and i'll think i should have been treated this well all-along and how did it take me this long to figure it out, or this long to find a guy who not only knew to do that--but actually did.

i think if i could find a man who might say: you can be all kinds of emotional then i'd be wooed and won by those words alone.

this is one of those songs that just listening to makes me feel far more courageous than my nature suggests.

 

(yup, it's taken this long for me to figure out how to load videos onto this new platform. so while no old videos have transferred over, i can now get back to the important work of sharing good music.)

 

also, i understand the comments aren't working. my sincerest apologies, i was getting so much spam and in an effort to deal with it, i somehow managed to cut off all comments. but the problem is being addressed. many thanks to those who brought it to my attention.
