2012, originally uploaded by framboise. We had a busy start to 2012 with family and friends, which is just how we like it! So we’ve started the year exhausted, but in a good way. Both P and I gave up on making New Year’s resolutions many moons ago. But if we still made any, our […]
To fill the gaping hole that is the weblog of my soul, I’m re-posting (aka C, V) my tipsy recollections of a pretty awesome Hollywood Bowl concert on the 5th of July, featuring: The New Pornographers, Tegan and Sara, and Death Cab for Cutie with the LA Phil.

But I just had to put down something about the fabulous music I’ve been hearing: live, on the radio, on last.fm and in my head. Last Friday saw us finally getting some tickets to the concert venue […]

At the pre-concert lecture for the third installation of the […]
This post sat as a draft for a wee whiley, with the thought of a new behind-the-scene migration prompting publication before my confessional was lost for good. It was written one slightly tipsy evening in early December. Two weeks ago, I was the happiest I’ve been for a long time. Contrapunctal Bach may be stimulating, […]
