WatchVideo from Brooke’s previous album “Heal for the Honey”
You can buy both albums on the ITUNES.

If Kate Bush and Cole Porter transcended time, had a love child, then that child was raised by Philip Glass and listened to A LOT of ELO that would just about sum her up.
She’s one of my oldest friends and everyone should listen to her all...
With no one to foist my opinions upon, I return shamefacedly to tumblr.
I’m pretty sure I have “left/given up/gotten lazy” about blogging about 6 or 7 times now. Don’t call it a comeback friendos.

”____________” wanted to change something in her life but can not, and yet making another small, unrelated change still lifted her spirits. Maybe more change is to come.
What does this even mean? Is this some Obama reference I’m just not getting?

Recessionista? Oh yeah, someone who shops at Target, Kohls, Payless. So like, a person who shops? Because if that’s what this ridiculous made-up word is, wellllll, that’s just about everyone I know. Glad we have an obnoxious pop-culture nickname now.

– A great interview with John Hodgman. Where he talks about mole-men, hobo markings and the election.

I’ve gotten really into reading Netflix customer reviews. I love hearing what people say about movies that I’m sure are truly awful. I mean, it’s no Tony Scott but really, it’s sort of awesome.

This makes me nervous...
Nashville is currently experiencing a gas crisis.
And it wasn’t caused by the government, or all of those bad guys in the Middle East, or by a natural disaster.
