The Deepest Grave


Why can't I just be amazing like Sufjan Stevens...that's what I really want to know. He really gets under your skin and into your soul. It's not a fair fight, he will rip you apart in ways you never thought imaginable, he will also be sneaky about it pretending like it was unintentional...so modest.
I guess what I am trying to say that he is probably the love of my life and I never knew it till now. Although it is impossible to have just one love of your life. There are just to many people to only have one, but still in my book it is pretty prestigious to be one of the loves in somebody's life.

Some other newbies are.....(for me)
Cult Cloud: Great I love them already. They are a really environmental friendly band from Minnesota and very well educated. Also they are great at making music.
Tapes 'n Tapes: I have only heard a few of their songs but they are great so far. They are from Minnesota as well.
Priscilla Ahn: I think I jumped on this train a little late compared to other intense music fans but I think she has a lot of potential and has an amazing voice that I really admire. She reminds me a lot of Ingrid Michaelson which is probably why I like her so much because I love Ingrid so so much.
Which reminds me that Ingrid Michaelson is now on tour with Newton Faulkner I believe. He is also great so that should be an awesome show with some amazin vocals.

I have really been getting into Why? they were recommended by a dear friend and I cannot get over how great they really are. Very creative. I just have to listen Fall of Mr. Fifths every time I think about it. They are also on tour and hopefully I will be attending that show. It's a deal if I ever saw one.

feeling down

my_love_is_a_fever Made with My Cool Signs.Net

I wanted to talk about bumbershoot. It was almost two weeks ago....I can't believe it.
It was amazing.
It was more than the music. It was about being in seattle with really good friends and meeting new people and trying new things and loving every second of it.
Beck was great although he had some technical difficulties. I loved gamma ray.
Ingrid Michaelson was either my fav or second fav....yeah I mean she was amazing, her voice is so good live and she was funny.
I have to say the best was death cab. I am pretty biased because I have seen them three times now and they are pretty much my favorite band. After all those times of seeing them they never cease to amaze me.
I also got to see the weakerthans for the first time ever. They were so good. It made me really nostalgic and fuzzy. They have a great energy and everyone around me was really into it. I definitely recommend seeing them live.
wow, seriously one of the best weekends of my life.
