Love is the province of the brave

Gerard Smith, TV On The Radio's bassist, died of Lung Cancer today. It's so sad to hear. These guys are so talented, and I will always love "Return to Cookie Mountain" amongst their other albums.

I cannot do the smurf

Just a few things from April so far:

Wind! So much wind.

New "Albatross" dress from Birds of North America

Perfect ballet shoes found on Ebay!

Peanut butter cookies made from this recipe.

I've been a bit obsessed with reading this book...or at least looking at the pictures, since giving it as a gift to my mum a couple of years ago. Everything just looks so good! I've made a couple of the cupcakes and muffins too, and they always turn out awesome.

Let's put our hearts together

Some things that I love from Etsy, these days! Click on the pictures to visit the listings and shops.

I'd go the whole wide world

I love Wreckless Eric! Whole Wide World is just one of the nicest songs, that I never seem to get sick of. I love that he is still playing music these days too!

Backstage

Paintings by Michael Carson. Aren't they lovely?

I couldn't hear anything!

I think about this every time that I see a cat....or not, as I tend to find myself reciting it out of nowhere on a daily basis. So quotable!

You and I got caught between magic and business

Today I am organizing for taxes and other boring things while listening to music as a distraction. I listened to Jenny and Johnny a bit when their album first came out at the end of last summer, but I just knew that I would be more into it when Spring and Summer was really happening again. And I was right, because its kind of perfect for this time of year. I don't know that I like it as much as Jenny Lewis' solo work, or Rilo Kiley, but these things have a tendency to grow on me. 'You Showed Me' always reminds me of Spring and Summer. And 'Jolene' is just so fun that its always in my head, so I thought I'd leave that here!
