*About Music

I love music.

I love all kinds of music and can't ever seem to give a definitive response when asked what my favorite kind is.  James Taylor,  Ingrid Michaelson, Nat King Cole, Arcade Fire, Andrew Bird, Josh Radin, Goo Goo Dolls, Feist, Celine Dion, Coldplay etc. etc.
5 artists that inspire me to buy every song on their album because they're always awesome:
  • Journey
  • Jimmy Eat World
  • Mae
  • Missy Higgins
  • Guster
5 artists that I've recently been enjoying:
  • Sherwood
  • U2
  • Death Cab
  • Michael Buble
  • Regina Spektor
Five current favorite songs:
  • "Life in Technicolor II" by Coldplay
  • "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For"- U2 (this has been in my top 5 for years)
  • "Songbird" by Eva Cassidy
  • "Mona Lisa" by Guster
  • "Cath" by Death Cab for Cutie
Sometimes when I am driving home from work and I'm tired and hungry I am just so excited to walk in my house and sit on the couch and talk to my roommates...  a song will come on the ipod that will not only keep me in my car but it will keep me circling the block just so I can listen to the whole thing. THAT qualifies as a good song. It happened yesterday with a classical piece (Dvorak's 9th, 4th movement- another all-time favorite)
