The Pick-Up Playlist

I spent the better part of August on Cayuga Lake, driving around a borrowed truck and generally chillaxing. Mostly, I cruised various Gimme Coffee locations (Trumansburg is my favorite because of the screen door) and up the lake to Aurora, when I wasn't riding my bike to yoga. More later, perhaps, but in the meantime, here's my soundtrack for too-good-to-be-true antiquing, swooning over the perfect cottage, hitting Target daily, nicking cigarettes from the grown-ups, breezy nights on the back porch, closing time at The Chanticleer, getting heckled by carnies at the fair, hobbling around on a sprained ankle, and driving ten miles with The Peach for a Moonpie at 7:30am:

Smokey Robinson & The Miracles - You've Really Got a Hold on Me
Drive By Truckers - My Sweet Annette
Melanie - Brand New Key
B.W. Stevenson - My Maria
Etta James - I'd Rather Go Blind (also covered expertly by Man Man)
Wolfmother - Woman
Patti Smith - Because The Night
The Brand New Heavies - Sex God
Bob Marley - Try Me
Aretha Franklin - Chain of Fools
Daryl Hall & John Oates - Rich Girl 
Jefferson Starship - Miracles  

Your regularly scheduled Lux Lotus programming (including a month of pent-up Windowlicking aspirations) will resume in a few days, after this weekend so that I can wrap up summer projects and finalize details on the fall agenda. My list of projects and planned events is intensely hot and I'll share all the details here soon, naturellement. I'm thrilled to note that some brilliant creative types have agreed to Lux Lotus interviews - Los Angeles-based French phenom + art star, Fette, Sartre & De Beauvoir biographer Hazel Rowley, and "Bohemian Modern" originator/architect Barbara Bestor -- keep an eye out for those soon...

Welcome back! Wolfmother rocks. "Rich Girl" also rocks, despite all indications to the contrary.

welcome back! I've missed you, Lauren.
hey, did anyone send you a write up of the Wear it Well screening in LA? I went and can send you one if you still want one.

Also, the vivacious and lovely Fette did an LAist Interview with me, which I posted today.

The reel mechanism to hit some strange things about it. You're third heartbeat they celebrities feet would.
