Potential new name for this blog?
Haha Jamie has been nonexistant for about a year, and I come and go every so often.
I really want to resurrect this blog. Considering my summer is officially starting in a week - official in the way that Ill be doing almost nothing so that Ill have time daily to download new music, get 50 songs/6 albums on my ipod per week, and get shittered on week nights.
Ive been listening to some mellow music lately. I torrented Bon Iver's album a few weeks ago. I dont even know when its supposed to come out but I was under the impression that I got a leaked version way ahead of the masses (badass, I know). Regardless, its a great listen and it reflects the mood I am in when walking to school in morning. The blog I just linked below puts the style well: "A bucolic, mellifluous ripple of eloquence from the Midwestern hinterlands that is both effervescent and demure." Okay thats really not what my life is like. But that sums up this entire album amazingly.
Holocene is probably one of my favourite songs on the album. Its hauntingly beautiful and magnificent. I can only find covers of this song on youtube, so here is a link to that other blog lol: http://www.melophobe.com/fifty-word-reviews/bon-iver-bon-iver/
I doubt anyone still reads this so Jenn of the future, just look at your ipod.
One of my friends also showed me this song from Explosions in the Sky last week. It even more so captured what my life feels like in one song. I think I listened to it on repeat for about 3 days.. Im surprised I had not downloaded it earlier. Its even in the famous coaches speech scene in the movie Friday night lights. Instrumental music can really be powerful.
Side note, Jamie went to NXNE this past weekend while I was stuck in London. If he could remember that this blog exists, maybe he could do a post about all the shitfire bands he saw/discovered. But Im just wishful thinking here
Back to orgo studying for me...
