So, here's an uplifting post, to contrast with my last post. Here's what I'm loving right now.
The new album from The Black Crowes. Before the Frost (the new album) was recorded in Levon Helm's barn in Woodstock, NY. So that right there makes it awesome. I've listened to it like five times so far (I just got it on Saturday but didn't open it until this morning) and it is absolutely AMAZING. I like track 7 the best so far. I don't know the name of it. But it sounds like Crosby Stills & Nash. The CD comes with a download card to get an extra nine songs. I haven't downloaded it yet (I don't trust my internet connection today). Rolling Stone calls Until the Freeze... (the nine song download) "mostly acoustic, country-tinged tunes." And if you know me, then you know that screams my name. I'm so excited about this new album. Unfortunately the Crowes are playing Atlanta on October 3, which is Jamie's birthday. It's only unfortunate because Jamie doesn't share my deep love for The Black Crowes. If he did, we'd go to the show. But, it's his birthday and he doesn't want to. I know that if the show was on any other day he would gladly accompany me. But it's OK because if some band he likes that I don't were to ever play on my birthday (or any other day because I'm a brat) he wouldn't make me go. It's not like when Chris Robinson was touring with Phil Lesh & Friends and they played The Fox on my birthday. That was kismet.
Optimism. It's not so much that I'm loving optimism right now, it's more of a life choice I'm making and therefore forcing myself to love. I have a job interview tomorrow...
70 degree mornings. Yes, it's still well into the 80's (and upper 70's) in the afternoon but because there's a slight chill in the air I know that summer is almost gone and fall and winter are almost here. I hate the heat. But because this is a post about things I love, I won't elaborate.
New TV coming back. Yes, with the vanishing of summer (almost) comes new TV!! The second episode of Glee is on Wednesday, the new show Community starring Joel McHale (swoon!) debuts on Thursday, and Curb Your Enthusiasm comes back on Sunday (oh, Larry, you've been gone too long). By the end of the month The Simpson's, House, Lie to Me, and hopefully Ugly Betty will all be back. Plus Project Runway and Top Chef are totally kicking ass so far.
And, because I'm a nerd, I really, really love gummy worms. Right now and forever.
