It is just a Damien Rice kind of night. One of the best songs ever, easy.

I have not decided how I feel about this band yet. But, I feel like they are headed in the right direction. I think.

You may not know this about me, as I neglected to include it in my profile. But, I got mad flow.

Song of the Day: "The Story I Heard" by Blind Pilot

Tweet

This is one of those rare bands that both myself and Stevie stumbled upon separately and loved equally. It is becoming harder and harder for the two of us to find common ground on music that we both truly love. I mean, we like a lot of the same stuff, and tolerate almost everything else, but to both love the same thing, at the same time, it is uncommon.

Band of the Week: The Antlers

Tweet

I don't have a plethora of words tonight. It is has been a long long life/day. But this band seems to fit the weather, pace, expectations, and stale movements of life lately. And that sounds way more emo than I meant it. I am talking about summer stumbling into winter and the broken grace that shapes those steps.

If you have read my blog, you will have already heard one of these songs more than a couple times. It was a frequent song of the day last year, and eventually taking hold of the #3 song of the year. The album climbed from #11 up to #7 on my last quarterly review. It is the kind of album that takes hold of you, defines you for that three and half minutes, and makes everything in the world feel incredibly large and infinitely small at the exact same time.

The Song of the Day: "The Odds of Being Along" by Trent Dabbs and Amy Stroup

Tweet

I found this song really early in the year, and loved it hard. Then I forgot all about it for months. Until, by chance or miracle, my iPod found it yesterday. So, here, enjoy the quiet beauty.

**Apparently, this song was featured on that show that will never die, One Tree Hill, and that makes me sad. As it is no longer my little secret. But, anywho, hit play anyways.
