okay kids, this is a very serious post about music. please please please check out these blogs below-- they will open you to a whole new world of music that you probably didn't even know existed. both authors give quick easy-to-read reviews on some of the latest records plus a couple of tracks to listen/download. that's right: download. for free. legally.

all they ask is to show your support and buy the albums if you like the sound, something i am slowly but surely starting to abide by (bought Dream Brother: Songs of Tim + Jeff Buckley last week).

awesome sense of music. some of his top albums of 2005: bloc party silent alarm, amon tobin's chaos theory, sufjan stevens's illinois, fischerspooner's odyssey, spoon's gimme fiction, and many more.

i don't even know where to start with this guy. an undergrad at UK you know he's going to be surrounded by some new types of sounds. on discovery that i am especially enjoying is kite flying society (kfs), a band out of california. he's put up an anti-love mix for all those dreading days like today, but don't take that to mean he's a brooding emo kid with no love. he's interviewed andrew bird, sufjan stevens, we are the scientists, and reviews new music pretty reguarly. this kid knows his shit.


anyway, check those out (trust me, it's for your own benefit). i'm off to celebrate valentine's day with erin, anja, kirsten, and sara. though one of us has a boyfriend, we are doing the whole "single awareness" thing in style and having a good time. even though i don't have anyone to kiss and hold hands with today i can always surround myself with people who love me no matter what.
