Kate Hall, former Mika Miko drummer, is in a new band called Dunes. You can listen to them here if you’d like.

I’ve been really into this song as of late: Antonia Jane by Lightning Dust.

I spelled lightning l-i-g-h-t-e-n-i-n-g once in second grade and I’m still embarrassed by (and think about) that mistake.

It’s been awhile…sorry about my absenteeism. New jobs + the end of summer = major schedule change and exhaustion. I have been planning to write about The Breeders show, now that was awhile ago. But so, so good. There’s something about that band that really gets me live, I think with the added nostalgia factor the chemicals align and I feel so happy that they’re in front of me playing songs that I played over and over in high school (and beyond).

Their set list was amazing! It was as if they asked me what I wanted to hear before the show and then came out and played those songs. Ones that I specifically remember being excited about are: Hoverin (opened with this, which is actually an Amps song but I loved that album too), Tipp City (Amps), No Aloha, Iris, Happiness is a Warm Gun, Divine Hammer, Driving on 9, Cannonball, Saints, Do You Love Me Now, and Flipside.

p.s. I forgot my camera, so credit goes to Cody on the photo. Thanks!
