The Poem Adept -- Songs for the long lonely drive
I have had this album for a year, and for some insane reason it got put to the back burner of my rotation. Well, after seeing Pete Rothbart play again this week -- its back and its better than I remembered. And this lyric sent me off from "This Hotel Room" send me off into a new poem: I'll get a chair for you to stand on and get your words down from off of the shelf. An artist that can make me write on the spot always gets a special place for me.

Not getting Gesso on your clothes
Saucier has been working on this crazy community of arts program in Robie Andrews and I decided to take one of the seminars. Krista was so interesting and fun to observe being a teacher that I totally lost track of my brush and splattered white Gesso all over. Eh, small price to pay for a learning experience. Next time... aprons.


Dar Williams -- My Better Self
Ok, I am a total sucker for the Dar. She is just a great songwriter, I admire the poetry of her work, and how it seems like she always knows exactly what I wanted to listen to. This is her new album and oh my it does not disappoint. She laid down some bluesy tracks, a cover of Comfortably Numb with Ani Difranco, and its just another solid album. And "Miss you till I meet you" is another song that I could kick myself for not writing. She did it again. But then again, she has one up on me... you know, cause I can't play a tune. Defeated, but so deliciously.

Naked Food Juice -- Superfood Blue Machine
My blueberry hunger cannot be quenched sometimes -- I just love the little plump berries and how they burst sweet and tart on my tongue. This juice is obviously not the same experience -- but it gives me some of that lovely taste. I am a fan of the Odawalla blueberry based juice -- but sometimes its a little too pulpy. This one is good for a smoother drink.
