Something I learned long ago

princeton

Alright, fair warning: it's about to get really nerdy in here. And not cool-nerdy, but straight-up nerdy-nerdy.

One of my favorite writers is Virginia Woolf. I don't think I can pinpoint exactly why, but it's got something to do with the way she combines realism and fantasy, and, in the same way, prose and poetry. Her books are usually three kinds of crazy, and they're great.
Anyway, I just started rereading To The Lighthouse, and when I was reading it the other day, I put it down to check the mail. In my mailbox was Bloomsbury, the new EP by Princeton.

Princeton - Eminent Victorians.

Bloomsbury is about the Bloomsbury Group, whose members included Woolf, her husband Leonard, John Maynard Keynes, E.M. Forster. It's a really sweet EP, full of gorgeous pop music, none of which sounds like it's about nerdiness at first. But if you listen closely, it's there.

The release party for the record was last night; keep your eyes on the band's MySpace page for purchase info. Congratulations, Princteton.
Nerds.
