I live in fucking paradise

These cool spring mornings are the best. Temperature at 7:00 a.m. is about 48, but when you open the blinds you see the golden sunlight bouncing off Bernal Heights, where the grass is still green deep into April. This is so the best time of year here.

Album of the month! And I don't care if I first heard the music on a TV commercial. The Concretes, s/t -- like the Velvet Underground if Nico sang all the songs. I guess it turns out that the album is almost a year old. Here's a BBC page with a short review and some samples.

I also picked up PJ Harvey's Uh Huh Her and am really enjoying it. I have a feeling it'll be high on the playlist too.
