[i] juana molina with a rub a dub intro.
Because I am a big old party pooper, I missed her show when she passed through Bellingham. In my defense I had went out two nights prior, leaving the baby with a sitter, a paid one, for the first time EVER. When you keep a girl like me in for too long I tend not to know my limits when I fly from the cage. For one, there is never an exception to the rules of mixing. Just because it was good whiskey, curiously strong and delicious local scotch ale and an exquisitely earthy pinot does not mean I should drink them all. In one evening. Within 6 hours. But I had fun and I got to see my man glow in stage with musical glee, doing what he loves to do best: perform. I got to show the college kids how to dance the rubberlegs and the dutty wine and the infamous butterfly. It was great fun until a person in our Born Before 1985 Club (guy in the front row with glasses) eventually fell on me while we were getting down inna soundclash and early eighties style. BY the time I got home the baby had been screaming for a wee bit and the check I wrote out to the sitter was completely illegible and I smelled like an array of things. Proud parent moment. Can you find me in the crowd? {Hint: Double Devil Horns}
And the reality is that I am older than I was last year and need a bit more recovery time after a very rare night like that one. So instead of going out with the girls to hear Juana Molina, I stayed home and cuddled with the family, ate dried mangoes and chocolate and drank loads of green tea, honey and milk. But because her music is breathtaking and she is truly a divine source of vibrations, I had to share her with you. I was told is was a show like no other, so if she visits a city/town near you, check her out her sweet, one-woman.electro-organic.birdsong symphony.melty like an icicle stuck in a beautiful sunstare.soundscape:

Her Tres Cosas CD has been our kids-sleeping-in-the-car CD for YEARS.
We literally listen to it all the time and have never tired of it.

Thanks for the music. Thanks for the introduction to Juana Molina. And thanks for the new dance moves! I’m working on my rubberlegs and butterfly, but I don’t know about the dutty wine!

She is wonderful.
(It’s very odd that you can’t post videos — I have blogsome too and I’ve never had trouble. Have you asked for help in the forums?)
