Musical treats

Earlier this week, I received a wonderful surprise from my friend, Wil. Wil and I connected over horror/suspense movies, playroom DJ fun, and more recently, parenthood. I’ve been over/under-whelmed by all the socially mediactic ways to find new music. And confused about the proliferation of /// in this post.Gone are the days of radio via tuner and mix tapes. I hear vinyl is making a come back, but sadly I haven’t had the chance to get my fingers dusty and well…the vinyl shops in NY are an endangered species. So, I was delighted to receive Wil’s email sharing his recent finds with his fellow music lovers.
I always think of Isaac and Anthony when I find love, joy and community through music. RIP Isaac–I feel you in every cheesy love song and smooth mix.
My favorite of Wil’s shares:
Dntel, Rock My Boat:

And I threw in a few of my own. Share yours in the comments and I’ll consolidate into a post–or if I get it together, I’ll make a spotify playlist!

Cheering on the Paradise Riders in Kauai! This was Joannie’s favorite AIDS Ride because of the warm and welcoming community of riders. Many will ride in her memory tomorrow. Joannie was always so grateful and proud of how her friends supported her. As she would say…it’s never too late to give! http://www.paradiseridekauai.com/
Here are pictures from Joannie’s ride in 2005 and 2007!
