ponies in the surf



alex(ander) and camille from
their band ponies in the surf
august 21, 2005 on a fuzzy front
lawn in malta, new york, after
playing at "better than toast" in
saratoga springs as part of
the farm to market music series.

sadly, this photo hides the
fantastic nature of alex's shirt
(green and white plaid).
please know that in real life
these two people are not as
fuzzy and blurry as they are
in this photo; they are truly very
sweet and sharp.

they played music soo well
and kindly that it was very
hard to say goodbye to them.
i hope they will come back
soo soon.

hello podcast, soon

it's on my mind
so i want to mention
that i'm working with
a nice friend to bring
hello pretty city
into the podcasting world.
it could be soon!
then you could download
the entire show each week
and bury it with your treasures
and communal time capsules
under vacant buildings.

i come back

hi! pretty city returns
tuesday morning.

while i was in cleveland
i picked up a the music issue of
"the oxford american."















past music issues collect
shiny gems and even though
i've just begun listening to this
one i've already found some
intriguing sounds and songs.
i will play some songs tomorrow.

i read the article on the zora
neale hurston track and it made
my imagination tumble about.

talk to you soon!
