perhaps it's official this time.

november 17th ... november flippin' 17th.
no, i haven't given up yet.
i haven't waited almost two years for NOTHING.
dear kid sis, please please please, impress me by not postponing the release again. love, devyn


oh, and i can't even see her on november 27th because it's 19+ ... why is life so shitty right now?!

her smile is contagious, it's contag-uh-uh-uh-uh-ussss.

today was regina spektor's second free show in the city this summer, and of course i wouldn't miss it for the world. any chance i get to see her in a small place for no money at all, i jump on. because i knew the crowd would be ridiculous if i came any later than 4, i managed to get to barnes & noble around 2:45, yes, even earlier than when she played at the apple store. but this time, we didn't have to wait on any dumb line. instead, it was a first come first serve basis where we just sat down when we pleased, and yes, we could even save seats! thank goodness!



because it was also an interview session and reading with author, kurt anderson, i didn't expect her to play many songs. in fact, my assumptions were correct and she only played four songs, but any amount of time that she plays is well worth the wait. she's so incredibly talented and charming. i couldn't help but smile the whole time. it's amazing just how humble she is, yet she's such a superstar now. i mean, hell ... she's playing at radio city this fall. you've hit the big time when you get to play there. it's insane.

she did a few songs from the new album, far and closed with an old favorite, "us" from her album soviet kitsch. she was lovely of course, and i wish she had played longer, but what can ya do? there's only so much you can get from a free show in a bookstore. i honestly still cannot get over how fantastic she is. seriously. she's gorgeous and wonderful, and it must be a sin to not love her.

MORE PHOTOS HERE!

thank you jason schwartzman!

for yet another lovely album.
seriously, i feel a little overwhelmed by all of the good music i've been listening to for the past 3 days. it's mind blowing!
everything is so fantastic!
this is a great year, i can hear it.

anyways...
davy, the latest release from coconut records, jason schwartzman's musical project.
although it's just under 30 minutes, it packs a punch and makes you feel like you just ran through a field of unicorns and kittens.
it's sweet music. the kind of music that gives you the same feeling that you get after eating a delicious piece of cheesecake, minus the stomachache.



hopefully he'll decide to tour for this album.
what i'd give to meet that man.

if you're unfamiliar with him and his work, please see the following movies - and every other wes anderson film just because he's a fantastic director:
the darjeeling limited
rushmore
i ♥ huckabees

then go buy jason's first album, nighttiming if you don't have it already ... get it just for the first two tracks at least.
flippin amazingggggg.

snow tomorrow?
please?

oh and btw, a random question.
have you ever realized that when one sense is weakened for a moment that the others seem to give out as well?
when i take of my glasses, i swear i can't hear as well. or if i can't hear, my eyes glaze over and i can't see ... etc.
just wondering. maybe i'm just weird.
i need new glasses.
