(I like him only marginally less than Roy Ewing– Braid’s original drummer– because Roy was ”allergic to bees.”) Okay, so Broach didn’t have the easiest [ READ MORE ]
Oh hooray, someone Googled “Will you marry me, lolligirl?” and it led them here. I mean, I’m no longer nineteen– nor was I ever crying for Eulalia– but I still love Braid. My Bob Nanna obsession has cooled on the surface, but in truth, it is a raging inferno of long-distance lust and fascination for [ READ MORE ]
I told myself I'd keep posts down to one-per-day. I also told myself I'd stop talking about Bob Nanna.

Well, not only because I felt like it, but they got booted out of their top spot on my last.fm because I had a Decemberists fix the other week.

heartbroke and inchoate. Oh dear, Ys continues to get to me! I first heard “Monkey and Bear” (track 2) on Princeton Radio, on the way home from high school. 2006? Long time already, with Gentleman #1. The same time I first heard Devendra Banhart, we were playing Scrabble on the floor. I invariably lost. I [ READ MORE ]
