Last week, we were in Paris for Helen’s fairytale wedding. Here is a brief (and shaky) video montage of some of the sights and sounds. Apologies for the camera shake. I had a lot of Cafe Creme.
The Eiffel Tower:
Saint Chappelle:
Notre Dame:
Versailles:
Cafe du Marche on Rue Cler:
Ice-Skating at the Hôtel de Ville:
Invalides metro station art:
An accordion player on the RER to Versailles:
Trying something new on the blog: Music Mondays.
Every Monday (or so) I’ll post a few of the artists that I’ve been digging lately. I’ll try to keep it on the obscure side so you might actually hear something you’ve never heard. I hope you enjoy.
Today’s tracks:
Zee Avi: Bitter Heart.
She’s opening for Pete Yorn on his current tour. (Rams Head Live July 21).
Here’s a link to her track on the iTunes store.
Rhett Miller: Fireflies
I couldn’t find a video for any of the songs from Rhett’s new self-titled album, so here’s a brilliant track from his last album, The Believer. The song is a duet with Rachel Yamagata.
Here’s a link to Fireflies track on the iTunes Store
Hayes Carll: Beaumont
Hayes Carll toured with Rhett Miller and the Old 97s last year. I learned about him from an ad on facebook. What are the odds?
Here’s a link to Beaumont track on the iTunes store
A new hibiscus flower blossomed overnight. From Natty’s reaction, you would’ve thought an alien had landed in the yard.
