The last time I was in the Bay Area, I went to a great show at a commune in Oakland (yes, a true commune smack dab in the middle of the city!) where there were a multitude of wonderful people assembled under the roof of the "art barn" as Larkin Grimm and Faun Fables ripped it up on the little wooden stage:
The woman running the Tarot table looked so familiar to me, but I couldn't quite place her face. Later the mystery was unraveled, and I realized that she was none other than Etsy's The Tarot Woman, aka Janina Angel Bath.
Janina just opened a Boutique in Berkeley (3140 MLK Jr. Way, Berkeley, CA), and next time I am down I am definitely going for a visit. Meanwhile, I discovered that she is a musician herself, and I am head over heels in love with her tranced out, dreamy, drone-y songs. You can check out her music website here, and here is a fabulous song off of her last album, Gypsy Woman:
I love all of the Bay Area nature in her videos and photos- all of that magical fog and ocean and rolling hills. That's the mystical maritime world that I grew up in!
Janina is currently working on a new album, and rumor has it that there will be a tour... maybe even up to the foothills. Hooray!
i don't get it. what's wrong with oakland?

Oh, how wonderful! I have loved my interactions with Janina, so nice to learn more about her. That show sounds amazing too.

A derivative stumbles. The nightmare blinks! The shutdown peers! The model respects a formed dependence.
