oh you touch me in all the right ways

An atmospheric punch of creepy psychedelia. Just the way I like it. Ratiofarm's first October mix (Rob, I love you more with each passing minute) It's perfect. Rip it, love it HERE.

Marianne Faithfull has long been on my list of idols. A wide eyed beauty discovered at a Rolling Stones launch party who was noted as saying that her first step toward breaking into the music industry would be getting a Rolling Stone as a boyfriend. And she did just that. Her relationship with Mick Jagger bloomed into one of the most idolized love stories of the late 60's and spanned the next decade. Along with that of Keith Richards and Anita Pallenburg (whom I also love). Both ladies contributed substantially to the bands image and material and both, unfortunately, became drug addicted during their time with the band. But, Marianne came out the other end on her feet and got her career into full swing by 1979. Appearing in movies and recording some of my favorite songs, her face is as solemn and beautiful as her voice, and her style landed her in copious amounts of press....including some pics I had pinned to my wall by age 12.

Operatic

Last week I had the rad experience of attending the preview performance of Puccini's TOSCA at the Nashville Opera. Never having been to the opera before, I didn't know what to expect. I was both intrigued and nervous. Being a huge fan of the arts, I had a feeling I would love it. However, I will admit there was still the slight fear that it would be stuffy and pretentious. Not the case AT ALL. The show far exceeded my expectations! Not only was the caliber of talent completely impressive, the show was excellent!! TOSCA is a racy story! A tale of intense love, jealousy, evil lust, and essentially the ultimate sacrifice. WHOA. A highly recommended treat.

daydreaming of Montreal...

My thoughts are totally preoccupied with everything I'm missing this week. I had so been looking forward to a trip up north, to spend time with friends and enjoy a few of the MANY amazing shows going on for POP Montreal. Packing my coat and scarf and breezing around my favorite city. But, just as quickly as the window of time presented itself for my trip, the opportunity was gone.... and this unusually cool weather we're having is only reminding me all the more. Fever Ray is playing tonight, Screaming Females, Glass Candy tomorrow night, and Saturday the Fresh & Only's and Thee Oh Sees. But, most of all, I miss my Montreal family. Happy Birthday Trevor.

arterial bloggage

Considering the monumental amount of blogs created by fashionable females around the globe, it's refreshing to come across cool dude blogs. I find these two especially exciting because they also happen to be local! NASHVILLE'S DEAD is basically a hotbed of musical cognizance. Putting their dirty little fingers on the pulse of indy culture here in Nashville and just being cool all around. While SKUMLIFE.COM operates as a collective photo blog, documenting the happenings of our growing bike culture. Check em out!
