“Serpents” by Sharon Van Etten

I love this Sharon Van Etten song so much I had to post two videos of it for you to enjoy. To thank me for doing this, simply buy her new record Tramp, it is excellent.

Also, listen to a wonderful interview Maggie Serota did with Sharon on the Low Times podcast, fun and informative.

Excited for Tasteful Nudes!

Tasteful Nudes by Dave Hill: The Incredible Music Video

Yup, Dave Hill wrote a book called “Tasteful Nudes” and it will be making sweet, consensual love to other books (mostly chick lit) on bookstore shelves in May. I read an advanced copy and it’s extremely funny and filled with lots of life-affirming stuff that will inspire you to be a better person, get in shape and take up guitar. Pre-order now!
