Long time no see

Hello, world that is still reading!

I would like to write you a longer post about Red Rooster and Marcus Samuelsson and perhaps I will soon, but there's been a lot going on.  For now, I'll just say that at last I've found an album that I like this year, and it's A.C. Newman's Shut Down the Streets.  It's strange; though I've never really cared for the New Pornographers I do consistently like Newman's solo work.  This album doesn't disappoint; it's catchy and jingly and a little bit sad and just the sort of thing to listen to as darkness closes in earlier each night.  Who knew A.C. Newman sounded so much like a Belle & Sebastian for the wintertime?
