Friday Night Cheetos and Perrier

It is Friday. I am drinking Perrier and eating Cheetos. I am also updating my blog...the winds are blowing. Ahhhhhh... I had forgotten what a great song "Ship of Fools" by Robert Plant was. The guitar is oh so swwweeet, not to mentions Roberts (swoon) voice. I have also been listening to M. Ward, and Bon Iver. I find both of their "pieced together" music completely fascinating. Listen to "Hi-Fi" from Transistor Radio or "Poison Cup" from Post-War by M. Ward. Listen to For Emma, Forever ago (all of it) by Bon Iver. The textures are rich, the voices luxurious.

I was looking at The Selby and thinking about how I like to look at other people's stuff. I love book cases filled with books. I have a thing for books. I love them. love them.

I also wanted to tell you about an artist I love. I saw her in Juxtapoz and loved her beautiful flowing, feminine artwork.

So, It's Friday! Cheetos and Perrier time! Cheers!

The Flavor of Memphis

Memphis with its many art and music festivals hosted the wonderful River Arts Festival this weekend. The festival was on Main street and featured a number of music venues including blues, rock and bluegrass. The street was teeming with artists tents full of unique, vibrant art from all over the country. Painting, sculpture, jewelry and textile artists showcased their wares for all of Memphis to see.Still open today, (Sunday) you can come in free, grab a beer and a barbeque and listen to some awesome Memphis Music. Yesterday late afternoon, the Reba Russel Bandcaptivated an audience on a grassy hill where no one could keep from at LEAST tapping their toes (some let the music take them over and dance wildly!) as the smoky blues rythms floated out into the street toward the Mighty Mississippi. Just a couple of blocks away, you can get a spectacular view of the River. Historical Buildings surround you as you stroll down the sunny fall colored streets.
