All sorts of gubbins
Ooh it's been a little while since I've updated so I wanted to post a pretty picture or something, but I must say that my recent pics are all of blurry campers and blurry bands playing. Oh, here's a public service announcement (London detail) picture:
ATTENTION: Jeffrey Lewis is playing Brixton Windmill on Friday: who is going? Lee, I'm looking at you here. Want to go?
Quite a good news week: I can also report that I have got a job! Hurray! I don't have any time between old and new jobs (well, a Saturday and a Sunday) but this is very good news. Judging from my cavalier use of it in this entry, you might be surprised to learn the job involves putting in punctuation. And stuff.
Wow the sky has just gone yellow.
Today my niece said to me, 'Auntie Jenny, when are you going to get a boyfriend?'
I answered with a, 'pffft, when I can be bothered,' the cheeky minx.
Erin has tagged me to list 5 songs I'm loving right now. I thought I'd not just list them but temporarily give them to you.
1. Johnny Are You Queer? - Glass Candy & The Shattered Theatre
2. Alphabet - Jeffrey Lewis
Well I'm unable to stop listening to him and Newsom since this weekend but I picked this one as he played it on Sunday and I like the bit where he says about when you're feeling like a loser and petty to remember the people who've liked you.
3. Psychogirl - Jens Lekman
Because I'm a sucker for cute, tuneful Swedes.
4. Qui Est 'In' Qui Est 'Out' - Serge Gainsbourg
The best reason for France existing.
5. Cassiopeia - Joanna Newsom
Because there's always a Newsom song in one of these lists and because of 'like a Texan drying jerky/but his needy mitts can't hurt me'
