Are yall excited for Clare’s show on Thursday?
This will be a multimedia treat: A song cycle interwoven with story monologues unearthing the past. Audience members will receive an arty songbook which chronicles the music along with a 3-song sampler of the upcoming Tucker Martine-produced CD. Clare sings songs so sincere and heartfelt that you will immediately, even if you don’t know her at all, want to be her Best Friend Forever.
This show will also be awesome because it will be a “full band” show. I’ve only seen Six Points fellow Clare on stage by herself, so I’m excited about this, especially from what I hear in the warm yet fuzzed-out textures of her ensemble recordings. The band features Adam Levy on guitar (Norah Jones, Jenny Scheinman, Tracy Chapman), Tony Leone on drums (Ollabelle, Levon Helm, Rickie Lee Jones), and Andy Cotton on bass.

Good piece in the Times today about being young and uninsured in New York City:
“At this point, I can’t really justify it monetarily,” said Ian McElroy, a musician who moved to Bushwick, Brooklyn, from Omaha, last year. “It’s not like I think I’m invincible, I’m 29, the world can’t touch me. It’s the very opposite of that. I’ve got to make rent and eat.”
With insurance out of reach, Mr. McElroy has taken to playing doctor, using online resources like WebMD, which offers medical news, descriptions of various diseases and drugs, and discussion groups. As he spoke, Mr. McElroy was icing his feet, which, one day in January, had become cripplingly painful; he was unable to walk.
“I think I have plantar fasciitis,” he said. “I’ve been laid out for two weeks.”
