We bring it like a mountain
Here at HCT HQ strange things happen. Locust-like clouds of drunken bluegrass pickers descend on the house at odd hours, play for a while, eat, drink and then whisk us off to bonfires in the middle of the night. I warned Mimi when she put up that weird wreath on the door that she was inviting the fairies in. Who knew fairies looked like drunk musicians? [Weeeeeeeeellll…I forgot to tell you about my childhood in the Unseelie Court, Cric.--Mimi]
Among other strangeness, one day Mohammed just appeared in our yard. Mohammed is a cement lion. He sits in a fairy-ring of stones, surrounded by tulips. Yeah, really. And we didn’t even put him there. Well, you know lions come from the same place as hippos and if there’s one thing we love unreasonably (even more than music) at HCT HQ it’s hippos. We have many. Mohammed couldn’t come to them, so like the mountain, we brought them to Mohammed. [Look out for more pictures of Mohammed and his crazy antics…when we get bored again.--Mimi]
Hippos bathe placidly in the spring sunshine
unaware of the lion king lurking above them.
Yep.
There’s other strange things in the world like a new Cory Branan song!! Amnesia:
Video from WKNC 88.1, North Carolina State’s radio station. To go along with this good news, there’s a new Cory site: The Last Chance Diner, so fans, go on and join in the fun! There’s also a great new video of Tall Green Grass. It’s a good day to be a Cory fan!
Speaking of it’s touring season again! YAY SPRING! Cory’s got dates coming up in Knoxville and Nashville which I will miss because of my insane jet setting schedule. Drag the River too. I tell you it sucks to be me, so y’all better step up and hit some of these shows that I can’t. I’ll be trying to make it to a Chuckanut Drive show while I’m out west. And Lucero when I get back. Maybe The Avett Brothers too. You all should go to a Stephen Simmons show near you. Or perhaps Jeffrey Foucault, Trampled by Turtles, Dale Watson, or Corb Lund. Definitely Chris Milam.
Let’s make a deal, you go see some shows and we will too and we can all get back together and talk about what fun we had, okay?
As comes with spring–not just touring season—the HCT girls become International Women of Mystery. We’ll soon be hitting both coasts and points in between. We’ll try and keep up here as much as we can [between hangovers--M], writing reviews from airport lounges and listening to new stuff on the plane. So don’t stop watching this space. Don’t ever stop watching this space. [No more James Bond FOR YOU!--Mimi] [[You can never have too much James Bond.—Cricket]]
