Thank You, Thank You

I'm excited to be moving to South Minneapolis and to have heard, on public radio last night, of Yeti Records neighboring my new abode. Last night their guest DJ set included Crow. Who I instantly admired. Sharing the love through the icey Minnesota storm.

If there's one thing I've ever learned, your collection of vintage clothing—all those rare pieces, heirlooms—should never be given up. Cycling back around whether its 'on trend' or just within your character. Been feeling like I've had a past life in the 60's and 70's more than ever. Glad I'm back, but wishing for a more collective sense of activism and compassion during this new generation of suffering.

IN LOVE

WITH THIS BAND. ALL TIME.
This video is super great.

Everybody Felt the Rain

WHAT WE ALL WANT

Could I be happy with something else
I need something to fill my time
Could I be happy with something else
I need something to fill my time

This wheel spins letting me off
It's not the lack of trying
Can't put my finger on it

Cannot keep off this. Thanks Jake.

BRING IT

BACK WEST



Through my decade of following FECALFACEDOTCOM I have been very curious about the sounds of Thee Oh Sees, after seeing many photos of their shows, looking like all the madness and creativity I expected San Francisco to be. I'm not quite sure what took so long, but finally my hands are on one of their albums. Mega-feast is nonstop and keeps me wondering, what is taking me so long to move there? John Trippe of FF confirms SF's livability here. And, now that my great pal Aimee is settled in the bay I am ever so curious. Might well be that time for me, not so long into the future!

Happy Birthday Grandma Elhard!

This has been a big week for my Elhard family back in Minnesota. Last week my father rocked the tassel in honor of his 52nd year of life. Yesterday my younger sister was awarded with a music scholarship for the best vocal performance at Bemidji State University. Last night my uncle's high school basketball team (video below) battled to second in a championship game for the Minnesota State AAA Title, and today my grandmother celebrates her 90th birthday! Not to mention that both my parents were offered great jobs on Friday...



Yesterday I celebrated my own victory with another day of snowboarding with co-workers. A dream come true to mob around a hill with fellow members of Rome Snowboard Design Syndicate!

I just called my grandma to hear of her popular birthday party at the community center in Northome, MN. She was blaring Guy Lambardo in the background and asked if I could hear it. "We used to listen to it when we were young. There were four of us (her siblings) who spent a lot of time together then and now its just me you know." she said... The Sweetest Music This Side of Heaven for the sweetest grandma this side of heaven, thankfully.

"Playing in Dangerous Areas"

Please help me gawd. I'm still trying to get ahold of this film. I need it right now, like a drug fix but more like a culture fix.

FUNSEEKER

pretty much i'm finding some time for fun before these last few weeks of school.
this movie here was filmed in the amusement park from my childhood.
one of my first crushes was on the train conductor.
