Friday Music Day: Nov 2, 2012

1. I have some half-formed thoughts about some new music from Shannon Stephens versus her first and second albums, and getting better at being a musician but losing what makes one unique (and precious to me), but it's not really fleshed out and nothing's been typed, and I'm tired. Anyone here ever listen to any of her music? Anyone heard of her? I only know because of the Bonnie "Prince" Billy cover, and got to the party late.

2. Hey, that Dolfish album I talked about is now available for as much money as the EP! (Free, or you can pay more if you like.) If you haven't downloaded the EP (and I only know that Daneeka's Ghost has), maybe check the album, too. There's a heart-wrenching song about "Boy Meets World" and Jimi Hendrix. He's playing in St. Paul before the month is over. I'll hassle y'all about that later.

3. Leaving this afternoon for deerhunting in Swanville, MN tonight. Not sure if I'll even be able to log in after I post this because work will be busy as I try to get out of there.

Enjoy your Friday and Weekend and share some randomness... now.
