This summer I am going to work all the time. Crush some debt, save some money, buy my camping gear…
Next summer (or year… or whenever) I need to go to Hawaii. I am going to camp in the jungle, work on a coffee plantation and jam out Hawaiian versions of pop songs. And yes, there will be giggling the whole time.
On the weekend, the TV showed the classic comedic cinema, Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
I love this movie. And after so many laughs, the credits rolled and some guy singing Hawaiian sang the Prince penned and famously made popular by Sinead O’Conner slow burner “Nothing Compares 2 U.” Amazing. Or at least it was to Coral and I lounging on our couch.

The Morning After 
Given the enthusiasm you have expressed in your blog re: book below I figured you might find this item of interest. (Unfortunately the gig is in NYC.)

When it was published in 2001, Michael Azerrad’s Our Band Could Be Your Life became the definitive book about the indie-rock movement. To mark its tenth anniversary, he’s assembled a dream-team evening: a batch of unimpeachable current-day artists covering songs by all thitteen of the hall-of-famers he profiled back then. The pairings are bonkers—St. Vincent doing Big Black, Dirty Projectors’ Dave Longstreth doing Black Flag, and Titus Andronicus doing the Replacements—and swing between tantalizingly juxtaposed and tantalizingly perfect.
i also love this movie.
and if you ever want to stay at the hotel that they’re at, i can book it.
