langour on divans

Amanda,

The reason I have not been posting is because I have been wallowing away in my own idle time like 18th century Austrian nobleman. My bourgoisie lackadaisical manner of posting aside, there was no need to get significant others involved

Jennifer (9:25am): amanda's upset you no longer blog. please blog. for her. for me. for
the sake of the blog.

Well that's just fine. And I can't really hate because it got my lazy ass to post. But there were alternatives to that kind of escalation. Checkit.

Now. I love your posts as usual. Spring is knocking on the door here in DC and that means I start to allow myself to ever slowly listen to songs associated closely with summer (see my Barbecue playlist). Highest among that list are the Olympian Allman Brothers. I chose One Way Out. And so did Cameron Crowe in Almost Famous. Amazing. Second track I put on here is Amadou and Miriam. They are a blind husband and wife duo from Mali. I was first turned on to them by their album produced by Manu Chao. This song I am posting now is off a more recent album and is produced by Damon Albarn of Blur/Gorillaz fame. Enjoy.

I know you probably have a ton of stuff to post because of my tardiness. Pace yourself. Also I have some vids I want to post. Stay tuned...

sincerely and with tons and tons of promises to regularly post,

Bayan

ps a big shout out to my awesome girlfriend from whose computer this music has come.

pps can you have a ton of promises? my English is appalling.

Allman Brothers - One Way Out
