We have pink!
Hey! Fans of the Weakerthans, Kimya Dawson, Joni Mitchell, Hannah Marcus, and the like: you need to hear the new record by Christine Fellows, called Paper Anniversary. It just came out, on this Canadian label called Six Shooter Records, and I'd link to her page on the site if it didn't use stinky frames. Anyway, the record is wonderful. I just listened to it for the second time as I finished painting my bathroom. Amazing, heavy, beautiful, poetic stuff. She also happens to be John K Samson's wife, and she's every bit as talented as he is--the songs have a Weakerthans vibe but are very much their own thing. Do check into it if you are inclined. Sadly, they aren't on top of things enough at the label site to have stuff up from the new one to download, but you can stream some stuff over at her site, or let me know if you want a sample.


And now, pics of the painting!
