Folk to brighten even the snowiest of days!

I am absolutely in LOVE with Mariee Sioux! Her album Faces in the Rocks is seriously the BEST thing I’ve heard in … 6 months?

If you like quiet, acoustic folk with a touch of native american legend and mystery, go buy this album!!

Old Header Art!! (that’s what she said)

So, I’ve had some inquiries about my old header art, and I just wanted to give credit where credit is due!

My old header, featured below, was done by Portland artist, Evan B. Harris. (Believe it or not, he actually has an rad myspace page!) He is basically the love of my life and absolutely one of my favorite artists and I would be honored if one day he designed a tattoo for me!

Below: more art to enjoy! (I can’t stop posting it, he’s so fucking talented!!)

Oh my goodness! So many pictures! And this is only a sampling! For more, visit Evan B. Harris’s Flickr page. And if you have money, buy his art!

The Avett Brothers!

I went to go see The Avett Brothers last week at the River to River Festival in Tribeca. I was alone, but I got to be in the front row!! For a folk trio, they rocked REALLY hard. It was an excellent show, and I would recommend going to see them live – no matter what your age or music taste is!
