What I'm listening to
The Avett Brothers- I and Love and You
Perfect song to listen to while you look at old photographs and think about what your life good have been. Or a perfect song to listen to while you drink with old friends and you laugh at old photographs and you don't worry about what could have been.
I haven't decided if this song should make me happy or make me sad and for that reason I think its amazing.
Best to listen to during a road trip while you mindlessly and longingly gaze out your window....
Sample Lyric:
Ahh Brooklyn, Brooklyn take me in.
Are you aware the shape I’m in?
My hands they shake, my head it spins.
Ahh Brooklyn, Brooklyn take me in.
The Rural Canada Advantage- Don't haunt this place
Awkward rhythmy, lazy vocals, harmonizing female vocals and a cello equals the soundtrack to a night of jack and cokes. This song is on the verge of trying to hard and not trying hard enough. Perfect mix...
Reminds me about being uncertain and confused and believing every decision made had a better option.
Best time to listen to after a night of drinking and you need to settle your lonely heart and you need a good sing-a-long song.
Sample Lyrics:
Your heart beating slow as it beats out a pace,
West side apartment grows lonely and dark,
West side apartment is two more empty hearts.
Hall and Oats You make my dreams come true
Because its fun and if this song doesn't make you smile then you have no soul
Best to listen to after watching 500 days of Summer and then run around outside and smile at random strangers
Sample Lyrics
What I want, you've got
And it might be hard to handle
But like the flame that burns the candle
The candle feeds the flame

Music
My new favourite blog...http://soundonsound.tumblr.com/
It is authored by Dan Yemin. For those who do not know that name...shame on you. Danny is one of my heros and has been is two of the most influential bands in my short life, Lifetime and Paint in Black. He is a local Philadelphian and I've seen him and talked to him a couple times around the city and he is one of the nicest people I've encounter.
Getting off subject in my rambling praise of Mr. Yemin. So, Mr. Yemin has recently started a blog,about parenting and music, after his first child was born In it he discusses his worries, challenges, and possible solutions to raising his child as well as the different music his has introduced his child's young ears to.
And with each musical selection he writes a brief summary about the importance of the selection and why he choose why he believes his daughters' young ears should be exposed to it.
I love reading things of this nature because I think our generation has lost what makes music important.(Which I'm sure every generation before me has said the same thing)
Music is one of the greatest, simplest and most popular art mediums ever created. Everyone listens to music from the children to our grandparents. but the reasons for why we listen to music is so varied. A simple question to people is why do you listen to a specific piece of music?
We should each be able to listen to a song/record we like and articulate the importance of it. And if you can't immediately you need to look interopectively about what moves you about that specific type of music. And if you still can't do that you should stop listening to that music!

Blizzard of 2009
These pictures were taken from 7:00AM-7:00PM AND from 1.5 inches to about 12-14 inches of snow. And the new total for snow fall for the day was 23.5 inches. One of the best days I've had in Philadelphia!
