Watching

In general we try to avoid the TV, especially in the summer, but we have to admit “Master Chef” is one of our guilty pleasures that we are excited to see back for its fourth season, especially since it features average folk like us getting creative in the kitchen.

This Week at Babeville 5/29 05/29/13

We have been slacking on our weekly label posts and with Ani not touring you think we would have nothing but time on our hands but there are a lot of things going on behind the scenes, running the venue keeps us on our toes, and currently we're working on a new website redesign for Babeville, getting a new live bootleg ready, and losing our awesome spring intern things are crazy busy around here. The good news is these projects are coming together and we have an awesome new intern Stephanie who just started with us for the summer- hooray for interns!

Lately we haven't been able to get enough of all the awesome new music releases- from Laura Marling to Camera Obscura to Eleanor Friedberger (who also happens to be playing our lil' ol' venue next week!!!) We are in music heaven!

What we're listening to...

The Staves hail from England and play simple, beautiful acoustic folk music. If you were not lucky enough to catch them when they opened for Bon Iver or The Civil Wars then you should definitely try to see them next time they come stateside.
