Weeks to come!

Hey guys!

So I’ve been a busy busy lady and I would love to give you a taste of all the fun things I have coming up! I work really hard at my job and in my personal time and, though I try to relax as much as possible in those private times away from work, I have so much happening in the next few weeks! I’ve really taken my goal setting  and really run with it! You’ll notice that I have a LOT of DJ’ing gigs this month. YAY! I also have tickets to some really great shows coming up as well as some really great events that I’m working/attending for my work. If you don’t know already I work for Amoeba Music. The BEST record store in the country as far as I am concerned! So I just want to give you a little taste of what I do and where I do it! Check it out!

So much fun stuff happening! And this list doesn’t include antique shopping with my sweetie or dinners with friends and such. It’s such a reminder that my life is full of wonderful times and that I should take moments like these to really evaluate and appreciate the life I have made for myself, the people I’ve chosen to be a part of it and the work I’ve taken on. Because when it comes down to it, it’s all very very beautiful.

Jenny & Johnny – Free download ‘Animal’

I’ve been granted permission from Jenny & Johnny’s distro to provide all of my readers with the download link to a track off of Jenny & Johnny’s album “I’m Having Fun Now” which comes out on August 31st! I’m so excited for this release! Rilo Kiley front woman Jenny Lewis’ first solo album Rabbit Fur Coat is one of my favorite albums of the last decade so I’m excited to hear more from her partnership with Johnathan Rice. For now I have the track ‘Animal’ off of the new album. And so do you!

For those of you in the Bay Area if you pick up the new album at Amoeba Music on 8/31 they will have a limited supply of Jenny & Johnny buttons for the first people who buy the record!
