Oh. My. God.

First of all, a huge bow of appreciation to reader katiepo for the compliments on Jamie's Bachelorette post. Kat(i)e, you are our first comment ever* and we hope that you're still a reader, and continue to like what we're doing. (We would also like to apologize for initially thinking that you were a small Jewish lesbian with a lightening bolt shaved into the side of your head. That would be a different katiepo, and we do love her as well. Also if anyone is between Seattle and San Francisco and sees someone matching that description, huffing along on a bicycle, well, throw an apple at her and tell her that we love her.)

We hopped over to Kat(i)e's blog to check things out, and came across this video, which is (and I'm just going to say it) absolute genius. Much love to the gay unicorns, and especially to Shannon for having the inspiration to wish them into existence. For the record, I think that my favorite is Cadillac, but that may be because he reminds me of a sour, pompadoured Phillipino clerk at the Plaid Pantry in Seattle whom we nicknamed "Tito". This was many years ago, but we had something of an adversarial relationship with Tito; sooooo if you're near the Plaid Pantry at the bottom of Queen Anne's South Slope, stop in and say "hi". Or steal his copy of the National Enquirer, 'cause he loves it when you do that.

Thank you again Katiepo for Planet Unicorn Heyyyy, and your kind words. Keep reading, keep commenting, and know that we think you're great!



*Kat(i)e, I'm sorry; you are actually NOT our first comment "ever", BUT you are the first comment from someone that we didn't already know, so, same thing, yeah? We promise not to forget about you as we did our previous First Commenter.

May Day Is Lei Day

By
For the past 31 years in Honolulu, the Brothers Cazimero have hosted an annual May Day variety show at the Waikiki Shell Ampitheatre (because May Day is Lei Day!). When living there, I had the privilege of attending twice, the last time being the 30th anniversary, and just after the sad passing of the legendary Don Ho. Both times were, at the risk of allowing my cynical mask slip, magical. The May Day show is great fun, and follows the format of an old time variety show -- there is an aura of glamour interspersed with a decidedly camp sensibility, with hula stars of past and present gracing the stage. Spirits are high, and the banter among the performers is priceless; at times it feels as though you've wandered into a family reunion, and are a long lost cousin -- instantly at home and enveloped in the warmth. It's a time to celebrate the spirit and culture that truly do make the islands such a special place. There's a song that plays before the Sunset On The Beach movies...

The Racoon Wedding :: Gather Gather Bones/Rattle Rattle Truth

By
Download The Paper Boy from The Racoon Wedding's album, Gather Gather Bones/Rattle Rattle Truth Sounds Like : they're gonna rip your ribcage out and find your heart RIYL : White Rabbits, Portugal. The Man, Fanfarlo, Rolling Stones ala Beggar's Banquet From the Press Release : Forming from the ashes of Vermicious Knid, and authoring songs in the basement of the all ages not-for-profit art space they own in a nook of the city’s forgotten downtown, frontman Tim Ford and company boast a sense of loyalty to their community that few other bands share. On their debut LP, Gather Gather Bones/Rattle Rattle Truth , issued this October via their own Ford Plant Recordings Co., the band enlisted the help of engineer Leon Taheny (of the Final Fantasy recording credit) and hammered out a record that teems with the spirit of long-forgotten roots music. It’s indebted to the history of mighty back porch music: unbridled, unedited, beautifully intense.
