Music I've just discovered.

Alright, a few artists that I recently just listened to, or got pretty into even if I've heard them before.

Animal Collective- Makes me wanna dance...

MGMT- Makes me want to dance even more, even in public.

Brett Dennen- Very relaxing to listen to, as if I am riding shot gun on a trip and I look out into the vast nothingness of land that surrounds me. Music that gets my thoughts wandering to all sorts of various subjects. He is great.

Check them all out. Please.


Short post. I'll do some more music research and put up some of my favorites. I tend to buy CDs that appeal to me even if I haven't listened to the band before. I can't just stick to the same stuff. Of course I have my lifetime favorites, just have to try something new.

Speaking of which, if you think your day needs a little more suspense do what I do...
When I go to a place like Starbucks, they ask what I want and I ask back 'What tastes good?' they suggest something, and I get it. Trying new stuff. New experiences, I have to be open to them. Also... I am trying to learn French...

Vancouver!

Alright. Finally at the hotel after our 2 flights today. It isn't very cold here. I am pleasantly surprised. As well as tired....long day. I didn't sleep on the plane. Tomorrow Brook and I hit up the shopping. Like we need to... I love this place already.


I should buy a house.

PS I am kinda sad that T&S play after BSS friday, but I think I can deal.

I don't know what else I can do whilst I am here. Ideas?

An Horse, lost luggage and falling down on sidewalks.

Alrighty, back with less to say than ever before! Me and my sister hop a plane on wednesday take two flights to get to Vancouver. We are trying to avoid taking luggage other than our carry ons. I know it seems a bit silly, but I don't want to end up on Vancouver with my bag still in Salt Lake City, Utah. Ya' dig? I'll post a blog whilst waiting for my second flight...if I have time.

I know the sidewalks there are going to be death traps. And I know I am going to fall down at some point, or will I? I bought some North Face boots the other day, and not only will my feet stay toasty but they will also keep me from making a fool of myself in public. Like bullet proof vests, short term memory loss and diapers...helpful in those unbearable social situations. Not like I'd know.

We're going to the Tegan and Sara/Broken Social Scene concert Feb. 6th. Ballin'. And we're sitting front row, Sara's side. It will be fantastic. In fact. I'm dressing up for the occasion, wearing my favorite vest. Just for you Sara!

Finally. I'm trying to expose everyone I work with to An Horse, I sneak their songs onto some mix CDs I make to play whilst we work (in the mall) and see how much they like them. It's going well so far. 

So buy their album 'Rearrange Beds' on iTunes. Now. Please. Thanks. 

I give it 2 thumbs up! Maybe even a high five.


I read Shaun's blog. (simplelifeofarockstar.blogspot.com)
And he reminded me of those 8 year olds I see in the mall talking on their cell phone. I got mine when I was 14, and going to New York, and got texting at 17...but really 8 year olds? It seems like kids have phones before they've learned English properly. Flippin' craaazy.


Later gators.
