Jeff's Mindstream
read
Undaunted Courage by Stephen Ambrose: Choked, and then sped my way through this account of Louis and Clarke’s epic cross continent journey. Excellent, even for non- non-fiction readers like me.The Brief Wonderous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz: Think Pulitzer Prize meets Dominican homeboy. Incredible story of street and country, Brooklyn and San Domingo.
Breath by Tim Winton: A coming of age story for wandering, water-loving, slightly tweaked souls.
Tijuana Straits by Kem Nunn: If you are like me, you know life well enough in Mexico, and certainly well enough here. But what is it like in between?
Gentlemen of the Road by Michael Chabon: Chabon, in all his glory, but by the glass, instead of the bottle.
The Road by Cormac McCarthy: Always been a genius, and now even hip thanks to the Cohen bros. This is my favorite from him…so far.
heard
Vampire Weekend: These guys stretch me into reliving ska and soukous and my own African dreams. Not bad for white kids from NYC singing about Cape Cod.Blitzen Trapper: First in a few recent acquisitions having me begrudgingly embracing the sounds of 70’s era folk rock. Saving grace is that these guys are just babies.
Deer Tick: Biased forshizzle, because they are playing GB. But this New England band rocks the alt.folk scene enough to have been a Rolling Stone must see at 09 SXSW
Chemical Brothers: After years of dancing around (and to) CB, but never owning anything by them, I nabbed this latest recording. Nothing better to grind to while burning your way up a steep hill on your bike. Or vacuuming the house.
Death Cab for Cutie: Took me too long to find these guys. This last album really does possess my heart.
First Communion After Party: Blah'd enough about this band here already. Just check'em out.
Lisa Papineau: Beth Ortonish. Nuff said.
Jurassic 5: Should have had Power in Numbers long ago. Seriously good.
Andrew Bird: Met this mellow fellow after Outside Lands. Very good intelirock. Yes his name relates to the fact that he whistles a lot.
