if you have had a conversation with me.....

in the past 24 hours...I probably recommended this:

Emotionalism.
The Avett Brothers.

(now thats what I call some great album art)

so fricken good.
songs to look out for you ask? Shame, Die Die Die, The Ballad of Love and Hate, Go to Sleep, and the heart stopping All My Mistakes.

(not my desktop wallpaper or anything)

"Say yes we live uncertaintyAnd disappointments have to beAnd everyday we might be facing moreAnd yes we live in desperate timesBut fading words and shaking rhymesThere’s only one thing here worth hoping forWith Lucifer beneath you and God aboveIf either one of them asks you what your living ofSay love, say for me loveSay love, say for me loveSay love, say for me loveSay love, say for me loveSay love, say for me loveSay love, say for me love "

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.

i may be late

on the hold steady train...butt

lets get it going.

I have recently become obsessed with a little band called the Hold Steady. Reigning from Brooklyn, New York, this group of talented men have quite the prize on their hands. Bobby Drake, Craig Finn, Tad Kuble, Franz Nicolay Galen Polivka do a great thing.Their album, Stay Positive, released June 17, 2008 has become one of my favorites. A voice (dare I say reminds me closely to one of the greatest.....Bruce). Something that is new in the most classic rock type of way has my ears paying the most attention than it has paid in quite a while. Songs like "Sequestered in Memphis", and "Stay Positive" have you looking up the lyrics all the while hitting repeat on your old school cd player.I may be late on the Hold Steady bus, but it is still a worth while purchase. Hit up that 9.99 and purchase that sucker on itunes.
