Flight of the Conchords- I'm Not Crying

Ridgley without Michael, Hall without Oates, Jemaine without Brett.

Phoenix - Lisztomania Live at the Wiltern 6/28/2009

Phoenix were impressive last night. One of the surprises and joys was seeing the drummer bash the shit out of his kit like a French version of Animal.

I've heard that mobile uploads to YouTube are up 400% since the new iPhone came out. If that means more videos like this, i'm all for it.

Thanks to Butter for dragging me out to Phoenix.

Epiphany 6 pack

Epiphanies can happen, even when you're not at Burning Man. This week, it was in yoga. Things in your heart can change in a moment. Now, I can begin to see the good in myself that others have always seen clearly.

Thank you for seeing the good in me even when i couldn't see it myself, and thank you for reaching out to me with love and kindness, even when i wasn't ready to accept it.

With a much more open heart and with joy,
M!

eels - Fresh Feeling (HT: k8)
Birds singing a song,
old pain is peeling,
this is that fresh
that fresh feeling.
Words can't be that strong,
my heart is real,
this is that fresh,
that fresh feeling.

Air France - 'Collapsing at your doorstep'
Building on a sample(?) of 'No - better. Like a dream', this will be a natural for your Burning Man photo slideshow on YouTube.

Heart Attack - 'Right Now'
Cee-lo gets down on a sunny day jam along with uh, shit. My notes say 'someone else'. So just know that someone else wants you to get down in the sun this weekend.

Bill Withers - 'Lovely Day'
You know someone else that wants you to get down in the sun? (Points thumbs at self). This guy. And Bill. I highly recommend using this song as a Pandora station. Goodness, goodness.

Ace - 'How Long'
The Eclectech pool party kids and DJ Wiseacre love throwing this one into the mix. Gorgeous people dancing poolside throwing out sunbeam smiles, that's what deglooming is made of.

YACHT - 'Psychic City'
Portland made sunshine jam: Summer is here for you, if you'll just 'Come on over, over, over we're having a party for you.' Cool backstory here.

Lipps, Inc. - 'How long (dublindisco edit)'
Reprise, because the good times do last and they happen again and again and again. :)

and finally, every beautiful day deserves a beautiful evening. Tonight, mine's at the Greek seeing Ms. Neko Case live with my friends Alan, Vallier & Glenn.

Neko Case - 'This Tornado Loves You'
Really looking forward to the section at the end where 'this tornado loves you' swirls around before Neko belts out 'What will make you believe me?' Monumentally wonderful.

Have a great summer weekend.
