Air playing moon safari!

Nice! Let us know how it is. Love that album.  

Saw Billy Bragg the other night and he played three Mermaid songs:  Way Over Yonder in a Minor Key, I Was Born, and Birds and Ships.  I put this one just now and realized that when I imported it to my computer years ago, I Was Born didn't come over.

How was it?  I saw Helium (with Mary) at Peter Buck's bar in Seattle 23-24 years ago.  

So good. She's such a great guitarist.

At times funny. At other times bittersweet and even sad. A very well done movie. 

 

Agree.  Really enjoyed this one.

Last night: Cat Power Sings Dylan: The 1966 Royal Albert Hall Concert.

Really enjoyed it - partly because about halfway through a friend of a friend (who had some connection to the venue) found me a brought me to a seat in the very front row, right in front of Chan.  

Saw the Zone of Interest yesterday and I am still sorting it out.

Such a gem. I wish this were the Mermaid tune that was the staple of the live set rather than "California Stars."

Agree. And partly why it was so startling to hear while I shopped.  

Secret of the Sea in my local Trader Joe's yesterday 

I am not a gamer but I really enjoyed this book.

That may have been my favorite part - kidding - that's cool, though. Did she get to meet Giamatti, Randolph, or Sessa? 

I  got the 1970 feel while watching the film. 

 

She did not get to meet them though she was near them. 

She was also an extra in Little Women a few years ago and met most of the stars on that one.

Watched the Holdovers -- very enjoyable. All three of the main actors (Paul Giamatti, Da'Vine Joy Randolph and Dominic Sessa) were great. Great characters and story.

 

 

My daughter was an extra in the movie.  Her shoulder is prominently featured in one scene. 

But I agree - really enjoyable movie.
