#105; jumping in
Good afternoon, folks! I have a quick, but big announcement to make, with details coming later. I don’t know that I’m going to have much opportunity to write music posts anymore. I’m hoping to keep writing about Limbo, of course, but the ways in which I spend my time are in massive flux right now thanks to my recently giving my notice at both my day job and my house. I’ll be pursuing other dreams of mine (which for now, you’ll just have to take my word on) and while a small part of me feels like I’m jumping off of a very tall cliff, I couldn’t be more excited or ready. I’ve done it, I’ve quit my job to take on new challenges outside of the corporate structure I’ve grown accustomed to since leaving American U in 2005. I’m tense, I’m stressed, I’m terrified; nothing has ever felt more right.
So, I do hope you’ll stick around without my weekly dose of musical obsessions, but if this is us parting ways, good luck in your own Limbo and maybe we’ll all see each other on the other side, you know, “Adulthood”.

#104; something a little stronger than before
I am finally getting back on my feet from my fall a week ago! I don’t look nearly like a prize fighter anymore, and the migraines from having one’s face rearranged by a wooden staircase have almost subsided. Yay! To celebrate, and because the DCYRs are wonderful and offered me a chance to volunteer, I’m going to be at tonight’s Lincoln/Douglass Dinner, the DC GOP’s big annual shindig! After that, I plan to head home and dig into some awesome new music care of M. Ward and Zooey Deschanel, aka She & Him. The duo released their second album – Volume 2 – today and I was glad to see a spot on review of the band’s work in this morning’s Washington Post Express.
What made me so glad about this particular review? It made a point of discussing the difference in Deschanel’s confidence levels, which is the only thing about their debut album, Volume 1, that grated on my nerves in anyway. Knowing that she’s grown into herself as a singer and songwriter gets me so excited to hear their newest effort. So check out the review, pick up the album, and let me know what you think (I’ll be doing the same)!
