Queercents Weekly Roundup: More on Folk Music
We interrupt your regularly scheduled Tegan and Sara for a visit to Massachusetts-based folk singer Chris Pureka. Seriously click that link. You will not regret it. This is the weekend of two Chris shows in three days, and I’m loving every minute of it.
- Penelope Trunk on the economics of buying a spouse when you don’t have a stay-at-home partner. (Read it at Penelope Trunk)
- JD has a fun roundup of personal finance bloggers, including Queercents’ own Nina, admitting to their regular splurges. (Read it at Get Rich Slowly)
- Steve tries to tolerate his son’s religious education in exchange for the better quality of a local Catholic school–a conundrum queer parents might be interested to consider, as well. (Read it at brip blap)
- Boycotting doesn’t work anymore. (Read it at Wise Bread)
- Trent makes laundry detergent from scratch–an interesting science experiment, though I wonder if it would wear my clothes out faster. (Read it at The Simple Dollar)
Queercents Rehash: Free Air Conditioning for the Home: Okay, it’s probably not yet time to think about air conditioning… but I’m going to pretend it is.
Yeah, I wish it was time to worry about air conditioning, too – New York seems to be clinging to the cool weather. Thanks for the mention! – Steve
Melissa: Southern Cal was having a bit of a heatwave this weekend. It prompted us to the “air conditioning” conversation again… as always, thanks for the cool roundup!
When you mentioned T&S, I had to check out your link to Chris Pureka … on the third song now and really enjoying it. Thanks for the tip! This goes on my list of stuff to buy (trying to keep the impulse music buys down!). Too bad she won’t hit Spokane on her travels through the Northwest. Had to drive to Seattle to catch Tegan and Sara when they came through, but was worth the money spent!
Have you listened to Camille Bloom or Girl In A Coma? Both have songs available on myspace.com to listen to.
I love Camille Bloom! You can also hear music on her website http://www.camillebloom.com I saw her play w/ Michelle Malone years ago and have been a fan ever since!
