American girl.
since I've been with Tim I dont seem to listen to music as much anymore which is strange considering both he and I are big music lovers. I would say I used to pick up on one new artist every few years that would be great and I would immediately start wanting to know everything about them... people like fiona apple, joan osborne, jill scott, phbalance, spearhead, new monsoon, and antibalas afrobeat orchestra. Honestly though, I haven't picked up on any new music... I mean REALLY dove head first into it... since Joanna Newsom and that was back when I was living in Austin in 2005. Well, maybe this is just a one hit wonder type thing with me... but I'm REALLY diggin the song "american boy" by estelle... I just sampled the rest of her album on itunes and the whole thing sounds pretty great... I may have to buy it. It makes me want to live in NYC actually which is funny considering I really didn't like NYC all that much on my first visit back in 1999.. or was it 1998? hmmm. Now I do sometimes daydream about living there. Too bad it's so damn expensive.. just visiting is even hard to do and we live 5 hours away.
so here's the video for american boy if somehow you have missed it being played on vh1:
later today (it's 4:28 in the morning and I can't sleep) we are going apple picking with tim's mom, sister, and our nephews harrison and henry. Hopefully the weather will cooperate and we'll have a nice time! I should make an apple pie!
