Notes this week:
- The Silver Hearts were one of the best shows I've seen at the Townehouse. A spaghetti western salloon band sound, tons of fun and they picked up and played out in the street on the hoods of cars at the end of their show;
- Jenny Whiteley, it's okay that my husband has a big fat crush on you. I might too;
- Old Man Luedecke "Quiet Creek": This is what being in love in silence sounds like. My biggest disappointment of the 2007 OCFF conference was missing his showcase;
- Elliott Brood: You need to be as good on your records as you are live cuz live you're better than just about anyone;
- Go and look at a picture of The Zombies and tell me every emo-band ever didn't completely steal their look;
- Jason Collett status update: new record love affair still continuing;
- Oh Susanna, your voice is just the clearest and loveliest thing a person can hear.

I know that I am getting old when I hear about what artists are hot now. I have never kept up with music. I am so stuck in the 80's.
I want to steal Jason Collett away so he can sit in my living room and sing to me and write songs that have my name in the title. His new album = a wee bit of perfection that is going to make a fantastic summer night record. Bliss.
Hey I'm 30 , I think I officially am old too now? ;)
Thanks for giving us, The Pickups, a play!
