Down Is The New Up
The new Radiohead songs are just brilliant. We saw 6 shows in the past 2 weeks. One of them (Toronto night 2) even saw the debut of a new song called Down Is The New Up. It was good upon the first listen, but has since grown to be among my favorites of the new material. Other favorites are Videotape (hauntingly beautiful) and Arpeggi.
As for knitting, not much has been done. I brought along 4 balls of sock yarn (for 2 pairs of socks), but only am mid-foot on the first pair. It’s just a pair of plain stockinette Regia socks, but with all the traveling, very little has been done. Not only that, but I fudged the short row toes, so they came out a little boxy. But I’ll keep on going, since this won’t be noticeable when on the feet.
We went to the Renegade Craft Fair in Williamsburg today. Thankfully, it wasn’t unbearably hot. Lots of custom tee shirts, handmade bags, and greeting cards. Lots of booths sold roving and yarn too, including Brooklyn General. Check it out if you’re in the neighborhood.
