Pompeii by Bastille

One of the small things that I miss from LiveJournal is the place where I could put in the current music I was listening to. It's fun going back and looking at the songs that I was into.

Past few days, I've been into this song - Pompeii by Bastille.


Looking at their YouTube VEVO page, I saw that they were also on SNL recently - pretty good performance, I thought:


And then while browsing the Bastille Tumblr page, I saw this cover they did of No Scrubs by TLC:


Which then reminded me of this from The Other Guys - hilarious!


"Come on! You don't say 'creep, creep' unless you're quoting TLC!"

Finally, I'm a fan of a good acoustic version:


They'll be Marquee Theatre in Tempe on April 20th. :)

Jelly Roll Quilt Ideas

I recently got a couple of jelly rolls from Missouri Star Quilt Company - Joel Dewberry Bungalow (left) and My Mind's Eye Andrea Victoria (right):


Since then, I've been on the Pinterest lookout for quilts I might want to make. So far, here are the ones that have caught my eye:





I'm leaning towards hexagons and strip-and-flip (bottom two pins).

Coincidentally, while I was reading another article on Wall Street Journal Online, I saw a link to this article about Missouri Star Quilt Company: Entrepreneur Stitches Together a Quilting Business. Apparently, it is located in the hometown of one Mr. James Cash Penney, Jr.!
