The Avett Brothers
are so wonderful.
I sat in a cafe on 2nd avenue with a cold breeze coming through the door. After ordering my turkey and cheese on ciabatta bread, I put my phone down to notice the lovely music entering my ears. Maybe it sounded good because my food was good. Maybe it sounded good because it was a perfect autumn day...or it just made me feel good. I asked the man behind the counter who was singing to me....The Avett Brothers. Go to their site...it is probably the most beautiful band bio anyone could read.
"The songs are honest: just chords with real voices singing real melodies. But, the heart and the energy with which they are sung, is really why people are talking, and why so many sing along."
Avett Brothers is bluegrass with 50s flare and just a dot of soul. Seth and Scott Avett have created an enjoyable calming sound with banjo lines that makes your skin bump.
please enjoy.

The Jealous Sound
EP- Got Friends.
I just got this. It is so fantastic and completely comfortable. Kill Them With Kindess,which is one of their earlier albums, is one of my very best old school favorites. I would say take a listen to that one too!!
Check out their new EP. I love love. Love with me.

Word up!!!
I am shouting out to a little leprachan who went to her homeland for one whole semester. I miss her dearly and would love nothing more then to sneak her beers under the table at a family party <3
what a cute bostonian! send us more pics!
Death Cab for Cutie
at Radio City Music Hall.
Should I spend that much money that I don't have on music? should I? should I? Yes Oh lord yes.
On a cool autumn Monday evening, my newly engaged sister and I trucked through the crowded rush hour streets towards 50th and 6th. After a couple of blue moons and a turkey burger at Connollys on 47th we were on our way to a glorious evening of music. We walked into the beautiful venue packed of people and down into our seats. RR in orchestra...they were glorious. St. Vincent opened which was a pleasant suprise. Her brown curly locks bounced about as she slammed the pedals for her guitar and sang her sweet heart out.
We both decided the greatest time to get a tshirt would be after she plays. So off we frolicked to wait on line. I made some conversation with some broad and a cool purse...on to some dumb b who didnt like that I asked her what size she got. I didnt mean to be rude...only curious. Any ways, I got a sweet purple (so hot right now) one and Anna walked away with the Narrow Stairs cover slapped on an american apparell.
Lovely bathrooms also I may throw in there.
The men took the stage. The wonderful Ben Gibbard swayed back and forth in his flannel shirt and did all of the songs justice. Giving a shout out to the show that was stopped in June because of high winds, he dedicated I Will Follow You Into the Dark to those folk (me). Crooked Teeth, Sound of Settling, I Will Possess your Heart, New Year all gave me chills.
All Anna wanted to hear was Move Script Ending....when will they play this lovely little diddy!? Well they burst back on stage for their encore singing that sweet tune. Ending the whole damn thing with Transatlanticism. Singing softly the haunting lyrics of "I Need You So much closer" they pounded the drums and the lights flashed like crazy....
Glorious.
Here are some yummy diddys to tap your toes to...

'Nothin like a scarf and a cup of coffee...."
The weather calls for music, a book, and perhaps a cup of tea.
My music is Cat Power.
My book is a delightful novel.

Ending. I leave you with this...
