One Sunday night, back in March. I spent the evening sitting in the dirt. This may not sound like an appealing way to spend a Sunday night but it was to see Kimya Dawson play at Dry River. I had just learned that she was going to play earlier that day. I hadn't yet seen Juno or heard the soundtrack. I just decided to go on a lark based on a few mp3s I downloaded from her website. It was truly a memorable experience. But not only did she play that night but one of her dear friends and sometime collaborator,
Jeffrey Lewis. Now his set really made an impression. His songwriting is just impossible to describe, this so-called "anti-folk." So I won't try, but I will leave you with the following videos...
