Second Part
Third Part
Fourth Part
I'm just splitting up that first post because it takes too long to load it when I look through the blog.
For the Widows in Paradise, for the Fatherless in Ypsilanti - Sufjan Stevens
I first heard of Sufjan Stevens (the "j" in Sufjan sounds like a "y." I started saying his name with a hard "j" sound, and now I can't help it. Then I remember the right way to pronounce it and feel stupid) through his song, To Be Alone With You.
I loved this song, that I looked him up and listened to his whole discography. He is a main part of the music I listen to, and he will most likely appear on this blog dozens of times. If Sufjan ever sees this blog post, thank you, and keep making music!!!
Oh, and I also used this song for a typography project for school, if anyone cares:
(Still A) Weirdo - KT Tunstall
From her Black Horse & The Cherry Tree fame to now, KT Tunstall has released 3 class act studio albums I have enjoyed immensely. She makes great tracks for chilling. I often find myself swaying back and forth in a pile of pillows while listening to tracks like Someday Soon or Silent Sea.
World Spins Madly On - The Weepies
Oh my, where do I start with the Weepies? My favorite band ever. I love every single one of their songs, that it's hard to choose one for this post. I think this is one of their most widely known tracks, but who knows? I've listened to them so much, that I can know what song it is within the first strum of the guitar (no one has tested me, this may be a hyperbole...) I'll just post links to a few of my favorite songs by them so you can make your own opinion:
Ok, I'll stop or I'll just be posting their discography...
Nobody Else's Problems - Jay Everett Band
One night, my friend and almost next door neighbor Grace brought me to a cafe to see this band. I was not expecting much, but I fell in love with them right then and there. They are amazing live, even on that tiny stage. I bought the album that night, the first physical CD I ever bought, and I've gotten a lot of use out of my purchase. I'm satisfied.
P.S. One song they played that night was not on the CD, but I loved it so much. Fortunately, I found it on Youtube!
Effigy - Andrew Bird
I have no idea how I found Andrew Bird, but I'm glad I did. He has a great sound that sometimes frightens me, but I like a little fright in my life.
