Traditions.

By laird sapir :: Published December 22, 2012

I like holiday traditions. Well, I like traditions that aren’t a pain. Hauling out the Christmas tree is a giant pain, so I tend to put that one off. One of my favorite traditions is the fact that this time of year, the worst song ever written and made popular by young do-gooder celebrities is…Read the Rest

Ginny & the She-Woolfs

By laird sapir :: Published July 19, 2012

About two weeks ago, we had a storm. It was dark, rainy, and catastrophe-ridden. Well, at least, for a certain giant magnolia tree in my front yard, it was catastrophe-ridden. The tree, which is host to some sort of bizarre fig vine (a story for another post) just couldn’t handle the weather. It dropped a…Read the Rest

        Weequashing: n. The act of spearing eels by night, from a canoe, with the aid of a torch or lantern.  Canoes? At Night? With Torches? Eels or no, this sounds like an awesome activity. I’m not much for fishing, but I could make an exception for weequashing. Obviously, this is a sport…Read the Rest

Thought I’d share this with you today: Mykonos is one of those songs that I can never quite get out of my head. Honestly, I don’t mind. Fleet Foxes are a throwback, but in the best kind of way. And this video, by Sean Pecknold, is weirdly nostalgic — definitely working some kinda magical 70′s…Read the Rest

Shakespeare In Love…With GLAM ROCK!

By laird sapir :: Published March 7, 2012

  Little known fact: Shakespeare has a lot in common with Elvis.  (My use of the present tense is not accidental.) Aside from the fact that Shakespeare was an awesome dancer, he and the King share a love-hate relationship with the afterlife.
