Sarah Harmer, I adore you.

Laura and I saw Sarah Harmer in concert, like the pseudo-lesbian couple my grandfather thinks we are. If you have no idea who Sarah Harmer is, I suggest you smack yourself around a bit for not finding her music sooner, and then immediately go out and purchase "You Were Here" or "I'm a Mountain" or anything else, up to and including the stuff she did with Weeping Tile.

Some of my favourite Sarah Harmer songs:

Lodestar
Goin' Out
How Deep In the Valley
Capsized
Dogs and Thunder

All of these are heartbreaking, of course. Listen to the lyrics, too -- they are all amazing.

Also, I took pictures. I am very sneaky with my 300mm lens.

sarah isabel said...: Paul : On digitals you can do all sorts of fancy things with the pictures. There are options to tint it, over saturate it, up contrast, turn it to black and white etc.. it's ... it's brilliant and has not yet finished rocking my little world.

dave: mc mario. i am shocked.

you can get sarah harmer at walmart. she is not that obscure. lol ... you should get "You Were Here" or "Weakened State" (I think that's the other one) .. "I'm a Mountain" is more countryish but still rather sextellent.

And I love the Philosopher Kings. Like, "The New Messiah"... awesome.; April 5, 2006 8:59 PM

Hi. My name is Sarah
and I live by the sea. I like pirates and vikings and my audio cassette tape player. I am 25 years old and pretty much covered in sand all the time. Also, I like cookies. My profile.

Hey Sarah, what are ye listening to?
Lots and lots o' stuff, like St. Germain's "So Flute" and "Ghosts" by Ladytron. I can't believe Robyn is out with new stuff and it doesn't make me want to show her love by jabbing rusted forks into my eyes. It's actually really catchy and kind of endearing. I have been looking up the songs from So You Think You Can Dance all year, too, because it's all awesome and at heart, I'm still a spandexed little dancer ready to punch Annie in the face and show Daddy Warbucks a thing or two about tap musicals.

I'M READING:
Walking Dead:

Frigging awesome. One of the best books about the Zombocalypse I've ever read (one of the only good books about the Zombpocalypse I've ever read). I think there's something about zombies that is so hard to construe via text ... I mean, honestly, you can only use the word "purtrid" so much, and the visual, awesome aid of comics really helps.

I'M SEEING:
Quarantine, a movie that's kind of the equivalent to being on the Disney spinning teacup ride, except, also, there are RABID ZOMBIES ON BOARD. Honestly, I missed quite a bit of this movie because I spent a good portion of it with my head nestled into my boyfriend's armpit attempting not to vomit. The camera movement is, at times, insanely choppy and all over the place, and those of you prone to motion sickness, you might want to skip this one. I'd give it about 2 1/2 stars out of 5, because it's decent -- I'd even watch it again if I could keep the room from spinning.

BOOK CLUB!:
The Kite Runner. I love this book. It wasn't necessarily a book I'd choose to read (these days I appear to be more interested in books geared towards teenage girls.), but I'm so glad I did. Beautiful writing. Next choice... I'm going to volunteer the Bell Jar because IT'S THE BEST BOOK EVER.
