Photos will be coming eventually. In the meantime, here are some videos from our trip to Argentina and Uruguay.

Tango night at Cavas Wine Lodge
Tonight while walking Natty in the park, I inadvertently filmed my first viral video. Enjoy.
Last week, we were in Paris for Helen’s fairytale wedding. Here is a brief (and shaky) video montage of some of the sights and sounds. Apologies for the camera shake. I had a lot of Cafe Creme.

Saint Chappelle:

Trying something new on the blog: Music Mondays.
Every Monday (or so) I’ll post a few of the artists that I’ve been digging lately. I’ll try to keep it on the obscure side so you might actually hear something you’ve never heard. I hope you enjoy.
Today’s tracks:
Zee Avi: Bitter Heart.
She’s opening for Pete Yorn on his current tour. (Rams Head Live July 21).
Here’s a link to her track on the iTunes store.
Rhett Miller: Fireflies
I couldn’t find a video for any of the songs from Rhett’s new self-titled album, so here’s a brilliant track from his last album, The Believer. The song is a duet with Rachel Yamagata.
Here’s a link to Fireflies track on the iTunes Store
Hayes Carll: Beaumont
Hayes Carll toured with Rhett Miller and the Old 97s last year. I learned about him from an ad on facebook. What are the odds?
