   I should add that I made him laugh – which I think makes me Indie Hipster of the Year, no?

   hmmmm. I guess the cardboard set is becoming a meme.

   The Humming House album is a winner, highly recommended.

   Fabulous starting with humming house… I recently wrote… do you followed my recommendation?
   now I’m waiting ‘Gypsy Django’ with cravings… and ask them to take into consideration other as ‘Breakfast’ also of Humming House

   I feel obliged to ask for a write up of Andrew in Drag. Best song of the year (so far) for me. Would love that SO much! Thanks in advance – J.

    Andrew in Drag is the best thing i’ve heard this year as well (how he manages to write a lyric that’s simultaneously funny and heartbreaking, I just don’t understand). Tho the above solo uke performance is nice, don’t miss out on hearing the cd track itself.

    Sanford: I like the album version, but I do like this one a lot more.

    Hey! This is kind of a weird thing to ask, but I’ve worked out chord progression and even the tuning for the ukulele part, but I can’t work out the picking pattern for this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m27V_uTFOKk&ob=av3e
    Can anyone help me?
    Thanks very much!

    It’d be swell if somebody’d look at it.
