I’ll see you or I won’t, whatever

Posted: 21st July 2008 by Ian in General

Yeah, we are playing the music guessing game at work so I don’t feel like writing a whole lot here. The Avett Brothers – The Ballad of Love And Hate Go see Batman. It will disturb you and you won’t be able to stop talking about it. You will thank me later.

Is this fooling anyone else?

So, I think the theme this week sucks. I know a lot of people with wide tastes in music, and its hard to say what people will know and what they won’t. It makes it rather difficult to choose a song and have people say “Wow! I have never heard that”. Granted, I could choose [...]

You gotta rock yourself a little harder

Ok, I know some of you know this song. But not all of you, so get over it. Listen: Josh Rittter – Girl In The war But Josh Ritter is awesome, and so you should listen anyway. I would also like to thank Andy, Brock and Stockett for making me listen to this. I have [...]

So the theme this week is: Songs you (probably) haven’t heard.  Broad theme, I know, but I am tired so be nice. First song is by Colin Hay.  You may have never heard of him, but you have heard him, I guarantee it. Listen:Colin Hay – Overkill Second song is by Nil Lara Listen: Nil [...]

Endless Summer Days

Posted: 12th July 2008 by Ian in General

So, I just need to tell you off the bat that I love Nick Drake. Today was a blast.  Pineview with Cory and the nurses, and then up to South Fork to camp, play in the river, and dinner.  Got to use my new aluminum dutch oven too, it was a good experience and a [...]

Yeah, I didn’t forget yesterday. Just busy. I don’t want to write anything today, so just two links for songs will suffice: Feist – Mushaboom (Postal Service Remix) Nizlopi – Sing Around It

You know that song “I can ride my bike with no handlebars”, yeah I can’t get that song out of my head. I just wanted you to know that. I would also like to publicly thank Matt M. for offering to help get it out with a drill. If you don’t hear from me soon, [...]

Hoppípolla

Posted: 8th July 2008 by Ian in General

Listen: Sigur Rós – Hoppipolla This song is another of those happy, care-free, relaxing songs by a great Icelandic Band Sigur Rós. Hoppípolla is Icelandic for “jumping into puddles”, and that is always fun. I think the music video takes it to the next level though: Watch: Sigur Rós – Hoppípolla This song is so [...]

Chromophobia

Posted: 7th July 2008 by Ian in General

Listen: Gui Boratto – Beautiful Life I wish I could write WHY I like this song, but I can’t. It just makes me feel happy, I can’t really say more than that. It is just a happy, carefree song. For more information (well, not much) on Gui Boratto, check this link Leave comments, let me [...]
