Who says nostalgia ain’t what it used to be? It’s back and better than ever, as they say, in’ terrific eighth album, “Gold Past Life,” which, as the title would suggest, has a lot to say about the bittersweet pull of memories of simpler and easier times. Nearly every song is its own veritable boat against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past … in a sprightly indie-pop kind of way. It would not be backwards at all of you to pick it up.
As good as the album sounds, though — and it sounds especially good on headphones. under the helm of producer Thom Monahan, who’s historically known how to put an atypical sonic spin on acoustic-leaners from Neko Case to Devendra Banhart — it’s as a lyricist where Johnson is really peaking here.
That optimism carries you through some other parts of the album that aren’t so literally or figuratively sunny. In “Barely Living Room,” which opens to the sound of a bare piano, he has a “bad dream” about what sounds like a dysfunctional upbringing, of which he sings, “I’m thinking about some of the things you did, and it sort of feels like abuse … I hate you but feel so bad for you too.

Bats Shooed Out Of Nation's Waterslide Tunnels In Preparation For SummerWISCONSIN DELLS, WI—In an annual ritual as regular as the arrival of summer itself, the nation&39;s waterslide tunnels were purged Monday of all the bats inhabiting them. "Go on, scram," the nation&39;s broom-wielding water-park employees said to the bats, which took up residence in the dim fiberglass tubes shortly after Labor Day last year. "Go make your nest somewhere else! It&39;s summertime. There are all kinds of kids who are gonna want to cool down, splash around, and enjoy themselves. So beat it!" Following the successful evacuation of the bats, the water parks&39; junior employees were sent into the bathrooms to clear out all the daddy longlegs and porcupines that had wintered there.

Glass Cake StandThrow the tea party of your dreams and bedeck this vintage-inspired stand with scallop-frosted cakes, sprinkle-covered cupcakes, and fruit-stuffed tarts. Each cake stand is made in Ohio at Mosser Glass, a family-owned company that uses decades-old glass molds and splashy colors to breathe new life into classic designs. Since each piece is hand-crafted, swirls and slight color variations are totally normal and actually made them extra one-of-a-kind. The stand is available in three sizes: 6”, 10” and 12'. The 6” is adorably miniature, perfect for a cupcake or two. (Or use it on your dresser with a couple pillar candles!) The 10” is just the right size for most of your standard cakes and pies (as of late, we’re obsessed with this Tahini Mousse Pie). And the 12'...well, we'll just say it'll hold up under your tallest birthday creations. Not much of a baker? Pile a mountain of donuts on it. Instant dessert.
