We recently made a stop in Boise on our US tour to play an in-store on a Monday evening on a night we didn’t have a show. Didn’t know what to expect, but what we found was a treasure. The Record Exchange has been there for 30 years. The staff was so kind, the record and movie selection was vast, and they had a coffee bar.
After we played our set in a nice little performance space to a nice sized crowd, they had a Tom Waits listening party for his new record that came out that day. It made me want to take my head out of digital music buying and spend more time in local indie record stores. There’s no place like them. I met a guy who has shopped and hung out at Record Exchange for 30 years and said he’d move if it ever closed.

All my friends seem to be pirating the new season of Downton Abbey because they can’t wait for it to come out in the US. I got sucked into the first season a few months ago and consumed it immediately. I have been waiting for season two, but haven’t had a chance to see it yet. I hear it’s amazing. Maybe even better than the first season.

Trevor Mikula is a contemporary artist from Nashville. His work is vibrant and whimsical. I love it so much. I kept noticing his paintings around Nashville and finally had to track him down.

We recently played a show at the Napa Valley Opera House followed by two days off in Napa. I have never been there before. While I love wine, I have never been able to drink much alcohol, so I haven’t paid attention to the different kinds of wine available. My favorite winery we visited was Castello di Amorosa: a beautiful castle in the middle of miles of miles of vinyards with a tour and tasting that gave me a newfound appreciation for the world of wine.

It’s not often I find a video that reminds you how beautiful a mother’s love is. Especially a cat mother. Little did I know this kitten video would strike a chord deep inside me. I’ve watched it many times. So have the other 35 million people apparently.
