Random current events interlude/gratuitous picture of myself: “Just Ain’t Gonna Work Out”—Mayer Hawthorne.

“I know that will you understand my ways
One day!”

Yeah, I know it’s not Wednesday, but cut me a break! I was in NYC yesterday listening to boring conversations and drinking expensive cocktails at the Russian Tea Room (also: getting blisters on my feet, drinking too much coffee, humming on the subway).

Tuesday night I dragged my friend Dennis to see Mayer Hawthorne at the church…easily one of the funnest (most fun?) shows I’ve seen in a LOOOOOONG time. And I was able to finally buy the heart-shaped “Just Ain’t Gonna Work Out” single…I’ve been pining for this little piece of plastic for more than a year.

Also, I would like to thank Mr. Hawthorne for reminding me that bespectacled fellows in cardigans will ALWAYS trump the urban woodsmen.

Moreover: I’m partial to “Maybe So, Maybe No”…despite the drunk guy behind me singing (VERY LOUDLY), “Maybe nooooo, Maybe noooo.”
