Greetings to you from my basement in Eagan, MN. The husband and sis-in-law are upstairs watching TV, and I'm downstairs buying half of iTunes. It is GLORIOUS.
Today's purchases include The National, The Avett Brothers, Keri Noble, Over the Rhine, Josh Garrels and Sara Bareilles. And this Keri - is this the same Keri Noble as the one on the Cities 97 morning show? If so, how are they not playing more of her music?
The National has me feeling defeated this evening, but is still serving its cathartic purpose. I love them for all of their melancholy and lack of anything straightforward. Good music for you mildly depressed 30-somethings!
Over the Rhine is its usual perfection. Favorite band, hands down. Their song Failed Christian is a repeater, but understand this recommendation comes from a once seminary student more interested in researching those who went apostate than spending time with Calvin or Luther's exhortations.
Sara is a surprise . . .poppy, but her content not so much. Interesting depth and contradiction that works. Her song Sweet as Whole - fantastic. I'll be singing this song in my head at work for the next month.
And Josh Garrels, Million Miles reminds me of how much I love my husband. "Feel the wind blow/ through the window/ I know/ that we'll make it through . . . " Thank you.
