I <3 the Posies. And when I say “the Posies,” I mean Dear 23, Frosting on the Beater, and Amazing Disgrace. I’ve never paid much attention to anything else they’ve done.

Jon Auer played one of my favorite Posies songs during a solo performance in New York earlier this month, and someone Jon’s lovely wife Michelle, who works here at the paper, posted a video of it on YouTube. Until I watched it, I had forgotten (just a little bit) how much I really do like this band.

It’s just Jon singing it, so those great harmonies that I love so much in the original aren’t there, but it’s still good.

Admittedly, it’s a little moody for such a warm and sunny day, so if you don’t feel like getting all haunting and brooding and shit, here’s something to better match the weather.

Also, the Posies played two acoustic shows at the Triple Door last Thursday and I did not go. I regret it. Michelle just gave me a heads up, though, that videos from those performances are also posted online in her YouTube account. The rest of my afternoon is now booked.
