WHERE TO FIND KENNI FALLS



Isaac Stroupe & Kenni Falls, Eye Rhyme 

Kenni is one of my absolute favorites anywhere.
In Eric's words, Kenni's music is both "funky" & "fresh".
I completely agree.  
Her voice is really very distinctive.
The structures of her songs are very avant garde.
The real treat when you go see her is her amazing voice.  
I, for one, am mesmerized by her breathy, warbly voice.
Listen to "Machines" on her Reverb Nation.  
I WANT DESSERT FIRST!!!

Typography Tuesday

All images via weheartit.
I couldn't find the links to the originals.  :(  
Does anyone know how to do that?

Today my day is devoted to burning/printing Little District cds.
I'm also trying to get a lot of house stuff done.  
I doubt I'll be able to get everything finished but I'll try.
All I can do is keep breathing.
Is it bad I am listening to Ingrid Michaelson while burning other music?

Angelina's coming over later & I'm making dinner.
She's moving this weekend to Boone.
Sad but happy times.  :)

This week is going to be crazy busy but hopefully pretty memorable!!!
