My Old Kentucky Blog

My Old Kentucky Blog: "I figure since we were just talking about Sub Pop, I should mention that Oxford Collapse have new record, Remember The Night Parties, that will be out in October on the label. Oxford Collapse are three Brooklynites that create raw, nervous jangle pop that's dripping with teenage restlessness and raucous dance-punk energy. Their music might, in blog terms, may be best described as YANP after three beers.

Oxford Collapse - Please Visit Your National Parks

Hear older Oxford Collapse works here.

Oxford Collapse plays the sounds of the suburbs, the blueprint of early summer, hopped up on candy scarfed down at bar mitzvah blowouts, at the batting cages, sneaking around all day at the multiplex, then turfing the neighbor’s lawn on a riding mower for good measure. They flip over big flat rocks and gaze fascinated at the insects living a private life beneath. They know that the devils and the details don’t need one another to get by, and demonstrate that with some of the wildest manic pop abandon heard in years. "

Murder!

Stacie prepares her torture implements! Seriously, though, she had a lot of fun with her first lobster! And I had a lot of fun with her in Jeremy in NYC! Posted by Picasa

It was just water...I promise!

Clearly, Stacie is enjoying her lemonade...and Jeremy is having a great conversation with... what is Jeremy doing? Posted by Picasa

Hmmm...

Is Chris concerned? And what is going on in Alys's head? Mysterious questions. Krysten, at least, is blissfully ignorant of the emotional drama playing out around her. Posted by Picasa

Preparing for the wedding!

Isn't Lisa a great photographer?! Well...she did have a great model. :) Posted by Picasa

Krysten, the Beautiful (and her beautiful bridesmaids)!

I had a great time at Krysten and Chris's wedding in Baltimore this weekend. They both were incredible! And the Belmont is an amazing location. Posted by Picasa

Is it just me, or is there something wrong about the quote below by Bill Mollison?

Texas Spiritual Retreat Texas Couples Retreat Texas Personal Retreat Texas Group Retreat Texas Nature Retreats: "Vision and Values for Rainbow Hearth
Vision
MARIAH WENTWORTH has held to a vision for Rainbow Hearth as a retreat, teaching and healing center since 1981. Using Permaculture and other holistic land management principles, the land at Rainbow Hearth has been restored to vitality and productivity. Mariah and her life partner, Richard Gerstner, have slowly and carefully created the infrastructure for Rainbow Hearth to come into reality.

Many teachers have influenced her - not the least being the land, itself. Her Permaculture teacher, Bill Mollison, founder of the visionary system known as Permaculture, has proposed a global nation as follows:
'..... clustered not around territorial boundaries, but rather around three common values: care for the Earth, care for all beings, and the ability to provide a sustainable return on investment. '"
