I was writing to a friend the other day, and I mentioned first hearing John Mayer's "Love Song For No One" in my driveway on some bootleg of KB's before his first album had been released. So I pulled it up on my iTunes and....the studio version sucks. I still have the bootleg live version, and it's so much more plaintive. That's what I think the ( Read more... )

So when I first heard Lady Gaga's "Poker Face" I really dug it. However, since hearing it FIVE times today on the radio....I still kind of like it, but fear I will quickly lose interest. However, if you haven't heard it, it kind of makes me want to go to a club in a trashy outfit and dance with complete strangers. Or something. Definitely ( Read more... )

Just as I've been on this Slow Club "Christmas TV" kick, I was listening to my March playlist and it started with The Czars "Paint the Moon" which is another freaking sweet song.

I made a playlist recently of some Andy's--Andy Osenga, Andrew Peterson, and Andy Gullahorn and it's been really awesome. Andy Osenga's "Anna and the Aliens" was literally the best thing that happened to me the other day when I had just cried in the middle of the Wexner Cafe (today when Greg and I were talking about how I deal with stress he said ( Read more... )

My tooling around the Indigo Girls website has reminded me that the first album I bought, Come on Now Social, was released ten years ago. I am sure I have told this story before, but I became a fan of the Indigo Girls completely unwillingly at camp when the girls in the room next door played 'Closer to Fine' on repeat. I knew they were playing ( Read more... )

Well, I began my writing this entry by trying to figure out when I went to see Caedmon's before because all I could remember was that it was in Jacksonville, we stayed at Liz's and we went ice-skating,ls but December 15, 2003 says something like "Caedmon's and Jars of Clay was great--RETURN OF THE KING IS COMING OUT SOON OMG" and Lindsay and Liz's ( Read more... )

In many areas of my life, I expect people to know things I know simply because I've known them for so long that I can't remember where they came from. This could be anything from knowing Roman history dates (what, you don't know the founding of Rome, Fall of the Republic, and Fall of Empire? Sheesh.) to my inherent belief that everyone spent 2002 ( Read more... )

So Lisa (and others) have been encouraging the use of Pandora.com for radio, and after seeing Melissa use it up close and personal, I decided to try it. I love it, as you might suspect. Justin, Ross, and I were talking about music at breakfast yesterday, and Justin was proclaimed an album guy--he knows what he wants to listen to certain music, ( Read more... )

Well, I didn't get much of my paper for the Bow Tie accomplished, but I did get some comments back from Greg, which should be helpful when I get to it tomorrow. Rather, after our TA meeting with the Bow Tie I asked him about this conference funding thing. Wait, let me back, up I guess I didn't mention this. Meggers asked if I was going to APA, ( Read more... )
