Authentic Frontier Gibberish

If you’ve seen Little Miss Sunshine, you’ve heard their music – they scored the movie. And they have a track on the soundtrack to Tim Burton’s Nightmare Revisited.

They put on an amazing live show. Amazing.

Blah blah Son of God has risen.

Lackadaisical Catholic checking in.

I celebrated by attending services at St. Mattress, shopping for overpriced hippie food at Whole Foods, doing some freelance writing work, and wasting time on the interwebs.

Splitlip Rayfield – come to the promised land

Wichita’s own Splitlip Rayfield – can I say enough about their charms? Probably not.

If the Ramones did bluegrass, with their frenetic energy and sometimes-indeceipherable lyrics – you might end up with Splitlip Rayfield. SLR is a quartet, sadly taken to a trio due to cancer’s grasp on Kirk, of fabulous energy and wonderful musicianship. Dude, they have a GAS TANK BASS – beat that!

I saw them many times in Wichita, and they don’t often tour, so I was quite lucky to catch them in Denver at the Cervantes in Jan 08. Excellent show, as always. It’s little reasons like this that I miss Wichita.

The fibs we tell ourselves

What I *should* be thinking, as a soon-to-be single woman: “You don’t need a partner to make your life complete. Make your own way, and everything will be fine.”

What I *do* think: “Sniff. I miss being close to someone.”

Shame spiral ensues.

I’m going on a ski/relaxation weekend with friends to Winter Park this weekend – all couples. Same set is going on a cruise in June – all couples. My ass is going, anyway, because there’s certainly fun to be had. I’ll be the pudgy single girl lurking in a bikini. Because, man….fuck it.
