obligatory music post
because i haven’t posted about music in a while, here are some of the bands i’m really into right now:
she & him- i think i’m in love with zooey deschanel. what i mean is, i love you jen, but i also love zooey deschanel.
sigur ros- takk was my favorite album of 2005 and now með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust (with a buzz in our ears we play endlessly) is probably my favorite album of this year so far. these guys just know what i want to hear in my music. namely, swells and great melody.
the helio sequence- and broken afternoon is probably my favorite song right now. i can’t get enough of this band.
cherry ghost- thirst for romance is a great album. pure and simple.
thomas newman- this awesome summer movie season (as well as xfm’s cinemagic station) has revitalized my love of scores, and wall-e is the one playing on repeat right now. newman’s strength is emphasizing emotion, and wall-e is great at this. (also good- but more fun- is kung fu panda by hans zimmer and john powell!)
the verve- has everyone heard the new single yet?? august 19th cannot get here quick enough!
and yes, i saw hellboy. loved it. more on that later.

i love you too, and I love Zooey as well :)

Don’t worry Jen, Mike can’t have Zooey, she’s mine. Please don’t tell my wife.

Ha ha - I told Jen tonight that Brooke Waggoner was the perfect mix of Mike-Music and Keath-Music - mellow enough to relax you but enough going on that it won’t put me to sleep :) By the way, you can download her EP free off her website.
I’ve been listening to Frank Black’s 93>03 - quite good!

Zooey is just so lovely, she is my favorite style icon! I love her voice, but felt a bit underwhelmed by she + him… :( Of course you know how I feel about Sigur Rós, I’m so sad they’re once again coming nowhere near upstate. Urghh!
