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:

Living In Twilight

Take It From Me

Vegas Baby

Not Dead Yet

Red Red Rose

All This Beauty

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!

Love Me - Jay Everett Band

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.
