I Don’t Know Why

…but, the fresh, wet spring snow and the gray skies this morning made me smile…as did the sound of rain coming through my open bedroom window last night as I went to sleep. That was actually quite lovely.

“No One’s Gonna Love You” – Band of Horses

“Only as the Day is Long” – Sera Cahoone

Dragonfly Tuesday

I am in a dragonfly mood today. There are so many beautiful dragonfly pictures on Flickr, it was hard to choose…

And just when I thought I didn’t have a decent song to add, these songs arrived in my email…thanks to Fingertips!

“When Water Comes to Life” – Cloud Cult

“Swimming” – Shelley Short

Just Stop

All afternoon, I have had an earworm, a frustrating portion of a song stuck in my head. I keep hearing it over and over. The song is one from a Christian Music commercial and what I am hearing is “My (our?) God is an Awesome God!”, just that part, again and again. I think that even if it was a song that I absolutely loved…enough would be enough. Really. So, in hopes of reprogramming my mind a bit tonight, here are a few mp3s and a “video” to listen to:

“Sonic Boom” – Andy Partridge

“Reflecting Light” – Sam Phillips

“Phantom Limb” – The Shins

“To Go Home” – M. Ward

SXSW Revisited

A few more minutes spent browsing the music on the SXSW Showcasing Artists list:

“Walk in the Park” – Oh No! Oh My!

“Good Fortune” – Phantom Limb

“Everyday” – The BoDeans

“Electric Bird” – Sia

“You Me and the Bourgeoisie” – The Submarines

“Good Voodoo” – The Teenage Prayers

“Paper Ships” – The Young Republic

“Faster Than Cars Drive” – Kate Tucker and the Sons of Sweden

On Repeat

It has been a bad day…I can’t think…I have lots to say, but I am having difficulty. So, I will, for the day, fall back on some much played recent finds.

“Into the Ground” – The Brakes

“The Zero Light” – Bryan Scary and the Shredding Tears

“Beyond the Door” – 13Ghosts

“Drops in the River” – Fleet Foxes

“Digital Love (Daft Punk Cover)” – Mobius Band
