I HAD TO BRING this story from the New York Times to your attention, and apologize in advance for what it will do to this month’s iTunes budget. (Mine? Already blown sky-high.) From Tracey Thorn to Sharon Jones, the Times‘ Andy Gensler nails a brilliant playlist of fantastic female singers and songwriters, perfect whether your mood is chill, or rocking.
Enjoy, and tell us what’s on your iPod for spring.

YOU PROBABLY KNOW by now that here at The Sister Project, we can’t resist a good sister story, and we love the sisters known as nuns, but this particular piece of news took us by surprise. Bill Murray is one of our favorite actors and comedians (if you haven’t seen his hilarious turn as himself in last year’s Zombieland, rent it. Now.) but we didn’t know that one of his eight siblings is a Catholic nun. [click to continue…]

THIS TIME LAST year, the “25 Things” meme was ricocheting around the net, and we Sister Project sisters decided to have a go at our own lists. I decided to take a second look at mine, to see if it’s true that the more things change, the more they stay the same. Read on to learn at least 25 things, possibly a few more, about me.

ON THE POSITIVE side: No one threw up. But what happens when you pack two not-so-copacetic siblings into the car for a four-hour ride? In our family: headphones, iPods, and a whole lot of discussion of just what makes boys so gross, anyway. [click to continue…]

THANKS TO MARION, I’m facing a challenge this week: to put together my own personal playlist, a measuring out of my life in coffeehouse tunes, if you will. This isn’t quite as easy as it sounds.

MY SINGLETON BEGINNINGS: Big surprise, I am the (only) child on the left.
First time here? Here's the idea: The Sister Project is a network of blogs about the many facets of the word sister, and the concept of sisterhood. A sisterhood of sister blogs, you could say. Whatever sister means to you, from identical twin to sister-in-law (or in friendship or in feminism), we’ll make room to listen in about it or express it on TSP. Like the slogan up top on our homepage says, “Don’t you have something to say to your sister?” We've got galleries of art and literature by and about sisters, and a Sisterpedia of sisterly trivia...but now we're getting ahead of ourselves. The quick study: Learn more about TSP, and how to find your way around. And oh—a giant, sisterly welcome.
