I finished Anne with an E this week and although my feelings have yet to settle on some of particulars, watching the show was a delight and it certainly deserved more seasons. Anne Shirly, the character, is an inspiration and after given short shrift by the Netflix series, which ended before Anne really begins to grow up and into herself, I turned this weekend to my DVDs of the Kevin Sullivan miniseries from the 80’s which were both incredibly satisfying and nostalgic.

This week’s musical highlights included The Milk Carton Kids’ livestream from The Troubadour. The music, the banter – all on point and reminding me why I love this band.  The stream featured music from earlier in the duo’s pairing and, after watching it twice, I was compelled to venture down the road of listening to old Joey Ryan tunes and, with glee, I rediscovered gems such as “Like a Cloak, “Queen Jane” and “Permanent”, the last of which was played on the stream along with Kenneth Pattengale.

As for new music, I can’t get enough of Charlotte Cardin’s new album, Phoenix. You should check it out!
