Stringed instruments, winged victories and a Magnetic Fields tour coming up in the Spring. Heavenly.
Elizabeth Jackson, Sarah Stollak, Mollie Fischer, and Leah Nelson make it look easy, but it was a sweltering 97 degrees when they performed this version of Stephin Merritt’s “Absolutely Cuckoo”. They’re too tuff to ever make it look tuff.
Arrangement by Elizabeth Jackson.
New Yorkers!

King Arthur flour gluten-free brownie mix with pecans and dollops of tart fig jam. In the oven it goes…
I bet this has been all over the internet and I’ve been too Amish-ed to noticed, but I just watched every one of these videos and they made me laugh and even cry a little – they are so fun — Girltalk is incredible, the dancers are amazing and the fluid camera work and editing made me feel happy to be a New Yorker again.

Today we attended the funeral of a 19 year old ex-Amish man who was part of the Nat Geo series we’re filming. The Amish sermon was delivered in German inside this barn. Our ex-Amish friends were angry that the preacher insinuated that our friend had died because he left the Amish.
He died because a deer ran in front of his car when he was going to work. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Hello Rank+File — the name of a sister-brother duo also from Austin, Texas, but not the 1980′s cowpunkers (hmph, kids today. Now, they call themselves Charlie Belle.)
Listen as they play a charming arrangment of Stephin Merritt’s “Strange Powers”.
The DVD of the documentary is available here.
Strange Powers is now available on NETFLIX streaming.
My niece Shauna and I laughed to each other all summer about our friend Ruben’s comment at a party. Someone was saying they used paprika to keep feral cats out of their yard. Ruben declared, “It would take a hell of a lot more than that to keep Brooklyn ghetto cats off my patio!”
So, smoked paprika, maybe?
