Frank Turner — England Take My Bones. Out today, Epitaph Records. I have a ridiculous number of feelings about the new Frank Turner album, England Keep My Bones, which came out today. I have a ridiculous number of feelings about Frank Turner, frankly, which if you are Pam or Megan you know, and if you…

bowerbirds @ motorco
A beautiful night full of unearthly music. I hadn’t seen Bowerbirds in a year, and it was thrilling to hear the new stuff they’re writing, bigger and scarier and more lovely than before.

worth getting up for: may
Worth getting up for in May: great publicist relationships and working with Big Hassle Media, who I’ve admired for a long time; my beloved Two Cow Garage, and Wintersleep, both live at Kings; that sweet cool late spring NC weather and the particular shade of green that the NC gets in May; the conclusion of…
