tunes

current music
1.city and colour- bring me your love
this is easily my favorite album of 2008 thus far. This guy is the front man for Alexisonfire....but dont expect that at all out of him. my favorite son on there is "the girl".

2.david bazan- harmless sparks and fewer moving parts.

ive loved pedro the lion for sometime. i think dave bazan is one of the best story telling song writers today. a friend of mine was riding in my car listening to a version of "god rest ye merry gentlemen" around christmas with me and put it best "this guy's forelorned voice could make marry had a little lamb depressing."

3.rosie thomas- these friends of mine

i mean seriously this girls voice is like saturday morning sunrises and fresh snow. it doesnt hurt to have sufjan stevens and denison witmer singing back up through the whole album. there's a cool cover of denison's paper doll.

4. Zookeeper-  becoming all things

I grew up on Mineral and the Gloria Record and have a soft spot in my heart for Chris Simpson's voice. Beware guys he's gotten happy. Its kinda amazing

5. Brooke Waggoner- Fresh pair of eyes

I saw her play while I was in Nashville last month and was totally enamoured. She does the piano driven female vocals well without coming off too much like a Regina Specktor rip off. Plus she is

Hi there. You Posted a comment on a page I write on sometimes called Discretion Grove. Thanks. Yeah, what a great album, eh? Seems like you are into great music (I could argue whether David Bazaan is any good though). :-) I've had people try to get me to listen to Explosions in the Sky... don't know why I haven't yet. I've heard it's amazing stuff.

You should check out my new page called Cheap Gasoline... it's a blog I have started to mostly spew out stuff on spiritual matters, political, art and the like. Seems like you have similar thoughts on some stuff. Anyway, take care.
