The Bucket
This song is great. I don’t care what you say but The Bucket by Kings of Leon is a pretty stellar listen. I don’t know it is about the beat, the sudden stopping and picking up again just makes it more exciting. The overall aura of the song is light, which is probably why it’s an easy listen. And even though I can listen to the lyrics and not quite know what is going on,...
Tell me, how do you justify your behavior?
Poetic lines that never made a prose
This whole affair is a bit presumptious

Practice
Practice perseverance this week because there’s that someone in all our lives that tells you you’re wrong, and tries to get you down because they’re too scared. They’re scared they don’t know what life is about. They’re scared that you might be more aware than they are. Though they might think they have the answers, and though they might think they’re the...
Rejoice
Rejoice despite the fact this world will hurt you
Rejoice despite the fact this world will kill you
Rejoice despite the fact this world will tear you to shreds
Rejoice because you’re trying your best.

What a rut...
I like music. A lot.
I listen to music. A lot.
I want new music. A lot.
I’m in a rut, I have all this fantastic music and yet nothing can fully satiate my appetite right now. Though I pride myself on being well versed in genres/musicians I don’t know how much that really is true. So, this is an opportunity for all to interject and offer some suggestions. I pleasantly and...
The reason I study. Pt. 2
We’re fat and happy and all that, but we’re not as healthy as we could be.

The reason I study
The reason I study for Food, Agriculture & the Environment is purely to reflect on the musings of one professor whom is hilarious without knowing. Amazing.

WatchThis. Is. Great.
Overdue
Who do we all point to when asked about influential artists? Elvis, probably. The Beatles, most likely. Bob Dylan? You can’t really avoid him. Coming from someone who has always listened and enjoyed Dylan, I think it’s a grave mistake to exclude him from any list of instrumental players in the music business. However, until the past few weeks I have never looked beyond the guitar,...
WatchThis is what I was going for.

Musings
We all have our bad days and have to get stoned.
I like this.
I have never really heard of these guys before but The Vulcans are a great little cover band. Here is a YouTube link for Down with the Shine by The Avett Brothers. From what I can tell they’re very talented and it’s probably only a matter of time.
I never thought the Grammy's could make me...
So happy. Avett Brothers. Mumford & Sons. Bob Dylan. I am bursting with euphoria.
Love from a 6 year-old...
“Emma is with me but I’m not with her”
Why?
“Because I don’t love her”
Why not?
“Because she’s been chasing me and loving me.”
And that’s bad?
“Yes.”

3stars2skies1mind asked: You don't want to be me. You're cooler than me. That would be downgrading.
Oui, c'est ça.
Dites-moi la chanson de votre vie et peut-être nous pouvons le chanter ensemble.

You can listen to his music! Huzzah.
C'est vrai?

Oh, Joe.
Today’s Flavor: Nation of Heat by Joe Pug
It would seem that I have a soft spot for people named Joe. However, it’s more than his name that draws me into this artist’s music. Acoustically, Nation of Heat is varied, even with the noticeable focus on guitar. Channeling the master of guitar and harmonica, Joe Pug mixes his fluid notes with storytelling lyrics. A delightful...

I'm in love
With The Civil Wars. Their sound is unique yet not so far off the beaten path that it’s obscure. Rather, in my opinion everyone should be brutally aware of the work coming from these two individuals. Just give C’est La Mort a listen… their lyrics are worth the listen.
