amazing music this weekend thus far -- jolie holland, iron and wine, yeah yeah yeahs, thermals, rosie thomas, and the fabulous decemberists -- wow. plus some serious hanging tonight with my total crush of the year, jolie and her friend whatserface from the be good tanyas (jolie used to be in and named that band.) jolie and i took a great walk together after her absolutely gorgeous set (seriously she has the voice to die for...) and she just is soooo rad, from her knowledge of old blues singers to the louise brooks picture on her guitar case, oh man i love her! thank god she has a boyfriend she's crazy about or i might get sort of fixation-like on her. looks like she'll have an album on sub pop within a year so you'll totally hear more from her.
