Life is good! Having a week off from grad school and work for the past week allowed me a little bit of time to regroup. A few days in lovely Connecticut, and a quick trip up to Boston and I feel totally refreshed.

In Boston, Tiny Whales performed a smoldering set  opening for Holy F*ck and A Place to Bury Strangers. As the last date of their recent tour, and also their homecoming show, I could not have asked for more. I could have asked for a little less wine, if anything, as  one of the owners of the club (The Middle East), had me try a number of new bottles throughout the evening.

The weather is getting nicer, and that means that life in NYC is becoming that much more enjoyable. I've gotten the vinyl out, and have been cranking out jams from some of my old favorites: Constantines, Autolux, Getz/Gilberto, The Lot  Six, etc. I feel invigorated!
