The Topp Twins

I happened to stumble across my new favorite movie. New Zealand yodeling lesbian twins. Within just five minutes of watching the Topp Twins, these confident, brave and strong ladies steal your heart and make you smile.  They are the Untouchable Girls.

It was described to me by Alice Clark, the executive director of our local Pickford cinema as a movie in which you will smile from the beginning to end. With a description like that I had to turn it on and see what it is all about. I smiled through the entire movie then watched it again a week later. I will probably sit down and watch it again soon.

These women have devoted their lives to what they love, kept it at a scale in which they can control and found the voice of their hearts. These are truly amazing women, they are inspirational and I promise that you will smile during this documentary that chronicles their beautiful lives. It streams on Netflix for those of you who subscribe.

Have you heard of the Topp Twins? Did you see the Topp Twins, Untouchable Girls movie?

Ozomatli!

The Nightlight Lounge has came back from the depths of financial ruin and being the victim of the city of subdued excitement. It is back in the form of a "cash only" bar, trying to make a go of it a second time. I guess if they can keep the money out of their nose they really can make a go of it here in Bellingham. They have the ability to bring in some bigger acts and generate a crowd and keep in business, and their 80's night draws a line out the door and around the corner. So please, all you Hamsters, get your booty out there and support the venue, I need music!

Last night Ozomatli rolled through town and put of a fun show. Their energy is hard to match and even challenging to keep up with. Their pr essence filled the stage and sprayed into the crowd. The Nightlight was of course hotter than Bikram Yoga and packed to the gills with sweaty inebriated bodies but we got by. Horns, drums, great lyrics and big smiles made the night worth the while. If they roll through your town, don't sit this one out, they are sure to please!
