Thao - We Brave Bee Stings and All

I have to thank NPR Music for introducing me to Thao. When I first heard "Bag of Hammers" I knew I had to get the album. This past week I've listened to the album over and over, and still can't get enough.

This is the perfect album to enter into spring. It's full of energy — perfect for warm weather excitement. Lyrics like, "And as sharp as I sting, as sharp as I sing, It still soothes you, doesn't it? Like a lick of ice cream" are both abstract and delightful.

Collecting Globes

I've gone from collecting wind-up alarm clocks to globes. Gosh, these take up more room - I'm going to need some shelves to store them. The one pictured on the left is the moon. We are quite fond of the tiki picture too.
