Wye Oak For Earth Day
Filed Under Album Picks | 4 Comments
Happy Earth Day everyone! Even though personally I think everyday should be Earth Day…We should really be taking care of the Earth all year long. Wouldn’t you all agree?
I was turned on to Wye Oak from Tara (thanks Tara). Jenn Wasner and Andy Stack are the two behind Wye Oak and they hail from Baltimore. Their new album If Children is an album filled with delicate yet passionate guitar pop. And yes it’s goodness.
Ok, so I have to run to work now, sorry it has been so quiet around here I will give you an update a little later, some big changes are brewing…But for now enjoy the music!

Colin Meloy Sings Live
Filed Under Album Picks | 2 Comments
Yes, it is true Colin Meloy lead singer of The Decemberists has released a stripped down live album. Just his voice and his guitar and it is fantastic. Perfect for the mood I am in this evening…Gentle folk melodies serenade me to sleep.

Tapes ‘n Tapes, Walk It Off
Filed Under Album Picks | 2 Comments
I need to Walk It Off…I need to take a deep breath and forget that I am spending hundreds of dollars on soaring gas prices. I also need to forget that this Word Press update is kind of pissing me off because there are a bunch of errors popping up and now I am just sorry that I didn’t wait for them to fix all this shit in the next update…I am also freaked because my laptop is crashing before my eyes and I don’t know what I am going to do…
But seriously Tapes ‘n Tapes have proved they are worthy of being added to the goodness list, their sophomore album is quite impressive and I am enjoying blowing off some steam while listening to it.
