Of course it makes sense on Cinco de Mayo to post a picture of my great-grandfather in Mexico in the 40's, right? He was such a silly guy.

Happy Cinco de Mayo!
Of course it makes sense on Cinco de Mayo to post a picture of my great-grandfather in Mexico in the 40's, right? He was such a silly guy.

"We saw the Swollen Mississippi and Arcade Fire on Thursday Last in the City that's Color is Blue: Memphis" or, "Heaven Knows, This is a Heartland."
My fellow day-tripper and I drove west to the Mississippi River on the one clear day in a month of storms here in Tennessee. We saw the skies. We saw the river. We saw starbucks. We saw a glorious antique store. We saw the spaghetti warehouse. We saw Graceland. We saw lovely houses and trees. We saw Arcade Fire! Here's proof:
Looking for animals and objects in the skies:
The city and the river walk:
The Mississippi outreaching it's boundaries:
Delicious lunch at the Spaghetti Warehouse:
Fun in an antique store:
Sleepy:
Oh deer:
My new 'enhanced' photograph, deal of the century:
My new house:
Graceland:
Beale Street:
The strangest thing we saw all day:
The Fountain of Youth:
Woot!:
Excited!:
Arcade Fire playing Intervention:
After:
Here's what they played:
Ready to Start
Keep the Car Running
Haïti
Oh It's Such a Shame(Jay Reatard cover)
No Cars Go
We Used to Wait
Empty Room
Rococo
Month of May
Neighborhood #2 (Laika)
Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels)
Intervention
The Suburbs
The Suburbs (Continued)
Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)
Rebellion (Lies)
Encore:
Wake Up
Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)
It's Such a Shame Lyrics:
That's the way things go
All people's changes they grow
I hide in this room
Let's hope it's not wasted
Oh, it's such a shame
I look into your eyes
and try not to cry
That's all I know
Let's hope it's not wasted
Oh, it's such a shame

More counting down . . .
12 days til my brothers graduate from Belmont
18 days til Joel and Melissa's wedding
26 days til Over the Rhine in Nashville
31 days til my brother's wedding
60 days til U2 and Florence & the Machine in Nashville
89 days until I turn 25
18 days til Joel and Melissa's wedding
26 days til Over the Rhine in Nashville
31 days til my brother's wedding
60 days til U2 and Florence & the Machine in Nashville
89 days until I turn 25
Sigh sigh sigh sigh sigh.
Check out this article in PASTE Magazine on the 15 best cover's of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah. Don't be too shocked by the number one, now. And don't fall in love with him either (maybe that's asking too much . . . I'm always falling in love with dead guys).
