Two things I’ve enjoyed of late:
1. This “flash fiction” (or something) site.
2. This singer/loop pedal player. Sis and I saw her perform last summer, opening for a single-monickered Canadian songstress, outdoors on a hill in Vermont. Caught her again last night at Summerstage (and was more than slightly distracted by all the loud talking. It’s free, but does that mean you should shout through the whole show? I kept thinking that just a little closer to the middle and the front, people were actually listening. But every time I edged closer to the stage, I came within range of another loud, irritating conversation. Sheesh.). She’s really something. Catchy and fairly mesmerizing. Surprising and inventive. It’s possible that she might also be a shorty. Next U.S. appearance is in SF, 8/22.
Two things I expect to enjoy:
1. Mr. Dream, playing 7/10 at the Charleston in W’burg. I guess I’ve spent long enough looking at this bar warily from the pizza place across the street.
2. This sci-fi thriller looks promising. Never seen it, myself.
