big news

Shae and I found some music that we both enjoy! This is big news because we have really different tastes. Of course, we both like The Killers because that is kind of a prerequisite for being married to me. But normally he refers to my music as "weed smoker music," and he likes country and the more mainstream music that I don't care for. I also really only care about how things sound musically, and Shae only cares about lyrics.

Two bands we've found are a good combination of what we both like:
The Stray Birds and First Aid Kit 

They're twangy enough for Shae and "weed smoker" enough for me! So there's been some happy mutual music listening over here for a few days. Huzzah!

weekend playlist

I've been using Spotify for like ... 5 years probably. But I finally upgraded to Spotify Premium just to see if it is worth it. Is it worth it? I'm not sure yet. I kind of fell out of searching for new music in the last couple years, but maybe this will help me get back into it. Here's what I've listened to and like recently.

It Gets Cold - Eliza and the Bear

Now is the Start - A Fine Frenzy

I've Just Seen a Face - Paul McCartney

Opportunity - Sia

While My Guitar Gently Weeps - Regina Spektor

Gotta Get Away From You - The Black Keys

some things never change.

My love for The Killers being one of them.

Here are all The Killers' Christmas songs in one place. Thank you!!!! 

a sample of my january playlist

Synesthesia - Andrew McMahon.
He's my favorite artist at the moment. I like listening to his stuff at work with the surround sound in the color room. But his stuff might sound even better through headphones? I don't know.



ILYSB - LANY
I don't know what that song title actually means cuz I am always going to be 5 steps behind on slang.




Space Oddity - David Bowie
I added my favorite Bowie song to my playlist when he passed away.
I'm not an incredibly devoted Bowie fan like many people appeared to be a couple weeks ago. But I do admire his boldness and pioneering efforts in the music industry.



Running for Cover - Ivan & Alyosha
Reminds me of City & Colour? Nice.




You Know Me - Air Traffic Controller
I just have to say thanks to Spotify's Discover Weekly for this one. It made my heart beat differently, so THUMBS UP.
