Noveller: Desert Fires

Noveller: Desert Fires

Sarah Lipstate is Noveller. Desert Fires, her full-length follow-up to 2009’s Red Rainbows, is one of three Noveller releases I enjoyed in 2010 and one of the very few compact discs I purchased this year. Tomorrow, December 9th, Sarah Lipstate will perform an improvised set with Shahin Motia (Oneida/Inferior Amps) at Cinders Gallery (103 Havemeyer Street, Brooklyn).

It was a good death

Not my week for pets. I had to put down my huge 15 year old Tinfoil Barb and my 16 year old feral cat. Average age for a feral cat is 3 years. Average age for a Tinfoil Barb is 8 years. WTF? The cat probably could have lived another year with kidney failure, loss of teeth, and a host of other issues. The fish was fine except it went crazy and would only swim in one direction with his nose against the glass. Created a huge sore on his nose.

Tween Pop or Adult Contemporary?

You decide:

Sun is creeping down
Behind the hill
Everything is calm
Everything is still

So baby close your eyes
And rest your weary mind
Let me hold you close I'll sing you this lullaby

Let your worries go
You fall asleep
Think of nothing more
Memories will keep

Your dreams will turn to gold
And you will waken fine
Then you'll hold a smile all day from this lullaby

or...

I just sit here waiting for you to call
Then I wonder if you're even calling at all
So many thought go through my mind
Wish you can be here all the time
