The ultimate trip to memory lane. I'll never get tired of these songs! The cure to anything: good music. It can mend your heart, connect you with people, and inspire you. It does wonders, basically. They can also make you super emo. HAHAHA.. how emo can you get with some of these songs? " In a car...
I was tagged the other day by Kalyn from Kalyn’s Kitchen for a meme. I’m new to this, but it looks fun, and a great way to get to know my “community.” Four Jobs You’ve Had in Your Life 1. Teacher’s Union President (yup, just like Kalyn!) 2. Officer in the U. S. Air Force 3. Fry Cook at...
I'm a sucker for all those quizzes that are making the rounds. I really enjoyed this one. I"ve been saying all along that I'm a "child of the '70s," with my eclectic musical tastes, and this just proved it. Right now I"m listening to Poco, and just finished downloading all my Led Zeppelin, Crosby,...
Friday, February 29, 2008 Current Music: Death Cab For Cutie - Title and Registration Current Mood: Doing lots of thinking I've been wanting to do this huge update for so long, but hadn't had the motivation until now. There's so much stuck in my head, and I just wanted to get it all out. But every...
Having a housemate has freed me up financially a bit, enabling me to buy myself a few CDs and DVDs. I know I should be saving, but it is so nice to be re-entering popular culture! And I really missed having new music to listen to. My music collection is a little bit so-several-years-ago (ie heavily...
I love romantic comedies. I don't know what specifically is so appealing them, but for some reason I can't wait to get my hands on a good romantic comedy. I know that these type of movies don't portray love truthfully. They are are ideal... hopefullyin the end. They are meant to take you through a...
So everyone knows The Flaming Lips, Pavement, of Montreal, and Andrew Bird. They're fairly popular. Here are bands I've discovered, mostly on my own (most likely through random downloading), whom I think are pretty good: Fruit Bats - "experimental folk-pop combo" from Chicago. Josh Rouse -...
Quite fitting that I'm writing this on a Sunday morning. Major Chord are a two-piece folk/indie outfit from Melbourne. Next Sunday (March 2nd) marks the date of the launch of their debut self-titled album. The album in question is light and breezy, the songs aren't too long (which is great for...
Yeah, that's right, I called them chicks. If I was a Californian, I'd call them chicas... Chicks, dudes, men, women, whatever... Who cares. All I know is I'm digging Laura Veirs, Jenny Owen Youngs and Dawn Landes--all breaths of fresh air. If this is the legacy of Lillith Fair, then it was a worthy...
What's your musical horoscope? (Put your music player on shuffle and write down the first 10 songs that come up.) - This Question of the Day is weak, allowing more for just a simple listing of random music than for any sort of in-depth writing. So I've split the difference, giving some initial...
14:57 uh, hey, you guys? Are 'liberal' blogs really talking 'bout Lutfi? tinyurl.com/3bbh5s vs. tinyurl.com/3cm9gd # 17:39 Hot Damn!@ Now THAT there's some LIGHTNING!! # 17:43 *heeheehee* and when it flashes in syncopation with that damn TACO song that was just playing? EVEN BETTER. # 18:16 np Nick...

There are many ways to define oneself: clothes, hair, makeup, friends... But one that is often overlooked in high school is music. I think it all started for me in 8th grade when Micah, Simon and Anthony listened to heavy metal Christian rock (isn't that a paradox?). I had this huge crush on at...
In honor of the lunar eclipse, I give you my "Moon" themed playlist.... "Moondance" - Van Morrison "Harvest Moon" - Neil Young "Man On The Moon" - R.E.M. "Pink Moon" - Nick Drake "Blue Moon" - The Mavericks (or Cowboy Junkies or Frank Sinatra) "The Killing Moon" - Echo and the Bunnymen "Walking On...

What were your top 10 favorite songs or albums of 2007? I'm not going to answer this question, but the version of this question that I want to answer (kind of like I did with my practice comp earlier this week) So, in rough order of the point in the year when I liked them, I give you...THE SONGS I...
Here’s an extremely silly story! Back in the day, me whenever someone would bring up the character of DC Comics Superman’s villain THE PARASITE, me and my friends would always break into that very “Dear Prudence-ey” Nick Drake song “Parasite”, off of his illustrious final album PINK...
Fellow Nick Drake fan Scott Small over on Not In Me has been so kind (or imprudent) as to let me post some reflections on heaven and suburbia on his upliftingly lovely blog There's Treasure Everywhere. If you're feeling whimsical please do pop over and give it a read, as well as the other posts...
In two days I start my ninth job since I graduated from college in 2006. I don't know what I'm holding out for, maybe this new job is it. I've come to the conclusion that most of all I don't want my job to interfere with my personal life. I have a lot of goals personally and want to spend time with...
