Last Minute Valentines! Love Is In The Air... And the Books, And the Cards

Last minute lovers! I know there are plenty of you out there. You diiiiid remember that Vday is on MONDAY, right?? Eeek? Cough? Gag? Right. This day has become constitutionally linked to all things red and shiny and bubbly... heart-shaped boxes of chocolates, champagne, strawberries, diamonds, couples cell phone plans? Borrrring. Remember non-web-based Valentines? (Like, cards?) Remember mixtapes? Cute!

Our Liner Notes Book Cover

Come out to Tabula Rasa tonight for the launch of Our Liner Notes a coffee table book exploring the constitutional (or at least undeniable) link between music and lovin' through writing and interviews by master music blog man Justin Lee, featuring photos by Christine Lim, illustrations by Lauren Pirie and designed by Tammy Yiu of Squab Studio. A lot of local talent in an adorable little package of romance. Who needs shiny rocks and roses anyway? Ooookay, I will accept the chocolate. And happily consume the champagne and strawberries. But in my little opinion, not much beats a really great book. Remember BOOKS?

Greeting cards featuring three illustrations from the book (see above and below) will also be available for $5 each or in assorted sets of three for $10; The perfect compliment to your mixtape Valentines gift. Or to drop off to your friends or to drop in the mail. (Remember mail? Cute!) And since they're blank inside (though I'm happy to inscribe them with freestyle romance poems upon request) they can actually be used for any occasion; anniversaries, birthdays, Hannukah... maybe not Mother's day.


If you can't make it to the launch tonight, the book is available for order through Etsy and cards can be ordered for shipping here. You really should come tonight though. I like you. And also;

- The first 25 people who purchase the book will get a special Our Liner Notes mix-cd (featuring great music by Foxes in Fiction, Ohbijou, Serge Gainsbourg, Sufjan Stevens and more)

- Music from DJ Daniel Brooks at 8, Foxes in Fiction and Spirit Oak at 9:15.

A portion of the proceeds from the book will go to The Regent Park School of Music, a not-for-profit music school which provides affordable high quality music education for youth.
