dallas is a city and green is a colour
i'm sure that a lot of you are sick to death of my shamefully incessant mentioning of dallas green on this blog- but i don't really give a shit so open up wide because here comes another spoonful.
dallas green (of alexisonfire fame) released a solo record of accoustic songs that are so beautifully melodic that you have to actually be completely deaf (or stupid) in order to not appreciate them. in carrying on the tradition of the modern musician, dallas released a video for "save your scissors" which is getting mad airplay currently on much music.
you can watch it here.
also- i've recently discovered a band from the famous flat lands of kansas- famous for the wizard of oz, tornadoes and nick seaman. the new amsterdams hail from the booming metropolis (i jest) of lawrence and i'm growing enormously fond of their folky sound. preview their tunes here.
three random things that i'm to lazy to contextualize and therefore must put into list format:
1. i find it very disturbing that the cream cheese i purchased from the store a few days ago doesn't expire until july. i demand an explanation.
2. people in my building have been posting strongly-worded notes on the security door proclaiming their dissatisfaction with the irregular floor mopping schedule of the super. in response, some resourceful buddhist has begun posting karmic messages reminding us all that 'words have wings' and 'namaste!'.
lastly...
3. i'm making creme brulee tonight for the first time. wish me luck.

The acoustic disc is awesome...and I assume you've seen mention of Neverending White Lights on Anthony's blog, but I'll add some positive testimony. I liked it enough after downloading it to buy it...and Dallas Green sings on one of the tracks as well
i bought nwl the day it was released. it was plugged a bit on dallas' myspace site.
i lo lo love it
How did the creme brulee making go?
I have no doubt that your cooking skills can handle it.
Did you use an actual torch on the top of it?
I've seen the New Amsterdams like three times. I lived in Lawrence for 3 years and was presented with the opportunity to see many good bands.
My kitten's breath smells like cat food.
I don't have a kitten.
vic: creme brulee was a glorious success.
nick: i don't have a torch. my martha-stewart-loving-mangiacake sister has one...but i used the more traditional method of sticking it under the broiler inthe oven for five minutes. less sexy in theory, i know- but it does the exact same job.
loz: i know i can always count on you to bring everyone back to the topic at hand when comment discussions go astray.
