Barbara Kingsolver kindly links to the artist who did a wonderful painting to illustrate the seasons of vegetable harvesting.

Chuck Prophet, musician and author

Do NOT miss Chuck on tour this fall, and Chronicle has signed him for a book!

a dryer in the yard

One of my favorite clips from fun and nice Truck author, Mike Perry. What to do with an old dryer??

yummy

Another wonderful surprise? The wines of Ten Spoon Winery of Missoula,MT. Great labels and delicious vino!

judging a wine by its label

We do judge some books by their covers; so, too, for me, wine. The funkier the label, the better. But is was especially nice to come across Novella - and it was good! Not so, I expect, Well Red, an  organic wine I found.

odd couple!

Robert Plant and Alison Krause have done an album together!!!

cover

My favorite covers of late are the Indigo Girls doing Uncle John's Band and Aimee Mann and hubby doing Two of Us.

Scrubbing bubbles

Just saw a repeat of an old Scrubs episode that was all done as musical numbers. Absolutely brilliaint!  And did the guy who played Dr. Cox ever get an Emmy nod? Shoulda.

Pratchett, natch

Our gang has a cool new site up for Terry Pratchett.  Moistmakesmoney, indeed!

movie music

It doesn't sound as promising as Once, but a guy in the office told me about the new Beatles-inspired movie, Across the Universe. i'm intrigued!!  And still in shock about $35 for a vinyl copy of Rubber Soul that i didn't plop down...yet.
