My posting here is going to get a bit thin over the next while. My personal and family life is slowly turning into a Faulkner novel and as much as blogging keeps me going, I'd rather write smaller posts than risk my troubles seep into longer ones.
Anyway, here's Laura Barrett's video for "Robot Ponies." Her ethereal voice and pink-accented black humor has kept my spirit up ever since I saw her open for the Magnetic Fields. Oh and if, like me, you are confused as to what the hell that is she's playing, it's a kalimba.
