Strange skies.

The setting sun turned last night’s twilight storm clouds first to stained tobacco and then to vague violet.  It was weird.

Throwback Thursday: Mazzy Star’s “Fade Into You” (1993)

Leave a comment

This video happened across my Facebook newsfeed last night, and I just had to share it.  (I am linking here to the AlltimeBestRockMusic Facebook page.)  This is Hope Sandoval singing Mazzy Star’s “Fade Into You” live in California in 1994.  I can’t think of a song that better reminds me of being 21 again.
