This weekend, I passed a very important milestone in the getting over a cold progression when I went to the movies (an actual theater, where the threat of a film-interrupting coughing fit was very real).  But with water in hand, and a few cough drops in the back pocket, I successfully made it through a screening of Wonder Woman. I enjoyed it SO much that the next day I went back to the theater to see Baby Driver.  Both movies had their merits, but the way music helped create the very fabric of the film gave Baby Driver the edge in my book.

With the 4^th of July holiday, the beginning of next week looks pretty light, music-wise, but the prospect of a free Barns Courtney show on Weds will help get me through the fireworks.

It’s been since I went to that screening of Only Lovers Left Alive in 2014 that I’ve mentioned how much I enjoy Jim Jarmusch’s work.  Today, I watched his 2016 film, Paterson, and feel like it’s about time to say it again. I love Jim Jarmusch! Paterson, starring Adam Driver, follows the daily routine of a New Jersey bus driver/poet over a largely uneventful week in his life.  It was one of those light on action, heavy on implications type of films (my favorite) and I will be contemplating it all week!

Also this week, I hope I will be able to get out and enjoy some music (this incessant cough/lack of sleep business has been quite limiting).  There are some very exciting show options including Sir Sly who is back at The El Rey with a new look and new music!

There is nothing more relieving on a sore throat than a nice honey lemon tea from my favorite tea shop! Unfortunately, a string of sleepless nights (not by choice) accompanying a week of frustration on both the home and work fronts, have left me under the weather.

There were a few bright spots last week, two occupied by a couple extraordinary singers who know their way around a guitar (Cobi and Reeve Carney) and one by a friend who joined me at a show simply because I needed a hug. I also had the pleasure of seeing The Rescues again after many years. Their residency at The Hotel Cafe continues this week and I can’t think of a better top concert pick.
