My album of the week: Nicole Atkins's Neptune City, which has accompanied me all of this week on my various commutes to work. I love it all--it's like listening to ABBA and the Pretenders at the same time, or something.
I have a lot of favorites, though the one I keep coming back to today is "Neptune City" itself.
It's the maudlin in me, I guess; the ones that clings to nostalgia: "Maybe if I paid attention / I could learn to love the landscape I was born to." Anyway, it's a gorgeous song, as is the album.
yes, but did you get tickets to see robyn next month? she's playing nyc, sf and la. YOU MUST GO.

[c’est top] I saw her open up for Chris Isaak recently. I had never heard of her
before that. She has a sweet voice and stage presence. The bass player
was great. If she got a more experienced drummer and guitar player
(sorry) she would be even better.
