Ah, Ben Hawkins!

I am so disappointed this series Locke and Key didn't get picked up by Fox. It has one of my favorite actors, Nick Stahl.


Locke and Key Trailer 2:17 from some guy on Vimeo.

Here's an article about it. Did you ever see Stahl in HBO's Carnivale? That series haunts me to this day. I absolutely love it.  Here's it's trailer:

20x200


How brilliant is this print? I really love it and want it for our "portrait" wall in our apartment. For some reason it reminds me of Taylor and me. We don't necessarily dance a lot, but the sentiment is there. I absolutely love the website 20x200 - all the art is affordable and really inspired. I keep telling myself I'm going to buy something from it and I haven't yet. Soon!

Tomo and Edie

Rachel M. came to visit us in Birmingham and brought Lil the cutest outfits and accessories. They're all from Tomo & Edie, who makes kimonos and they are amazing. So soft! So easy to change her diaper! So adorable! They have seams on the outside so not to rub or bother your little one. They're organic and dyed naturally. And, the dyes all have a significance like, "good health" or "good fortune." Here is Lil modeling her two kimonos she received from the greatest ladyfriend in the world, my own personal Rachel:
Kusakizome Kimono - Indigo: to protect her from harm

Organic Short Kimono

I call her "Luke Skywalker" when she wears this  
She also gave her a hair barrette made from a kimono and me a hair tie made from one as well. Visit their shop and purchase it today.

Buying for Baby

You know, since I'm in the market for baby items these days, I have been searching for cool places that have different clothes and accessories from what you usually see in the chain stores. Here are a few sites I've come across that have some fun and different items.
  • Baby Wit - I think this one is my favorite!

Mixed Tape of Morning Jams

It's funny - for a while I've been pretty bored with music. Sounds lame, but nothing has really moved me and I've just kept the stereo off. Perhaps it is the growing person inside me wanting a soundtrack or something because I've gone crazy with looking up music that used to bring me to tears or make me move around the room. I can't stop finding videos on You Tube, so I'm just going to catalog some of my favorites here. I look up one song and find another, and then another, and it's been a pretty fun game. These are all pretty sentimental, so please forgive me.



Love this song, Father and Son. Love Loudon Wainwright.



Homeless by Loudon Wainwright III: He's just great. Funny and sad.



In Spite of Ourselves, John Prine & Iris DeMent: This song is just so wonderful, even if it was written for a movie. It reminds me of being at Bean Haven in White Salmon, Washington. This goes out to Elena and Kevin in the sweet little farmhouse.



Brokedown Palace, Grateful Dead: I used to "hate" the Grateful Dead. (I also used to not like Neil Young - just ask Andi Lucia about it.) But I grew up and realized what I was missing due to youthful ignorance.



I Believe in You, Neil Young: After the Gold Rush was the first album of Neil Young's that I got into. It's just flawless - the whole thing. I wish I could meet the man one day.



Columbine, Townes van Zandt: Townes was my college soundtrack, or part of it. When I hear this song I think about being a melancholy, recently emancipated young girl, living alone, writing poetry, believing in everything. And sometimes I miss the idealism of that girl, but I know she's been incorporated somewhere inside me with all the other versions of myself.



The Very Thought of You, Billie Holiday: Her voice is so magical. Except for the drinking and drugs, the woman is my hero. I wish I could sing this distinctively. When you hear Billie, you KNOW it's Billie.



She's a Jar, Wilco: You know, this band can do no wrong with me. There's something about them - I don't know. But I believe that Summerteeth is one of the most underrated albums of all time. It was stolen from my car at one point and I never replaced it. Should have. Would listen to it on repeat right now.



Muzzle of Bees, Wilco: Another one, because I love them so. I LOVE the distorted guitar in this toward the middle. Soooo good.



Hey There Mrs. Lovely, Ryan Adams: Continuing my alternative country jag, here's the poster child. I have always loved this song. I'm not sure who the people are in this video, but this version of the song is the best version. He recorded it later and put it out on an EP but the harmonies on it are pretty terrible, so I want to post this one.



Magnolia, J.J. Cale: He's so fabulous. Our friend Casey told us once he thought he was living in a van in the Opry Mills Mall Parking lot. Whether that was true or not, I could somehow imagine it. I kind of hate what Eric Clapton did to his music, but I'm sure he appreciates the royalty checks.



Manhattan Island Serenade, Leon Russell: Great hair and beard, huh? Another Oklahoma musician. "Messed up inside and it's been raining all day."



Clair de Lune, Debussy, played by Van Cliburn: And some real piano goodness to end this endless mixed tape post of Rachel's nostalgia! I sincerely want to dance around the room with scarves (in a sort of rhythmic gymnast kind of way) when I hear this.

Nerd T-shirts

I was looking around for t-shirts online and found a couple of literary ones I like. I think they're fun and want to share them with you. I think I'm going to start making my own.
























Great t-shirt and great book.



















I like this image and the rest of the site is super neat-o. I want all of their shirts.

































For all the beatniks out there.



















Want a verbose Oscar Wilde t-shirt? Here you go. Click through for a bigger look at it.



















This one is just classic. No pun intended.



















Another Wilde t-shirt, but this one really hits home with the Joiners.

I want this t-shirt, but they won't let me post the image here. I adore D.H. Lawrence. We're both coal miners' children.
