this picture has been lying around in the youth room for months. i love it. i don't know if you can see, but they are smiling. i find it endearing. i hope i'm like that in my old days.
i went out and took pictures yesterday. it was so beautiful, i couldn't deny myself the fresh air, the wonderful clouds, and new vibrant colors. i headed out into the brisk spring air (tho it is summer) w/ my iPod set on Matt Costa. he's amazing. go buy his CD "Songs We Sing". that's all i'll say about that.
so i walked around; passing old people, children, and dogs. it was a very enjoyable day.
i have pictures up on my Flickr that i took. here are a few of my favorites:
*while looking around for lyrics for "The New Pornographers songs, i found that their female member has a solo album out. and her name is Neko Case. this struck me as odd because i just bought a song by such an artist. after searching my addictioin, wikipedia, i found that she in fact is the girl from TNP. and upon further research, i found that she was an early drummer for the 90's NY indie rock band, Cub. yes, that's right: the same Cub that wrote the song "new york city" that was later covered by They Might be Giants. amazing.
of course everyone knows that ben gibbard (death cab) and jenny lewis (rilo kiley) are in the postal service along w/ a guy from Dntel. Spoon and Vanderslice help each other. Vanderslice and beulah did so. along w/ Death cab and vanderslice. and Death cab and Nada Surf, and Death cab and the Long Winters. and Sean Nelson previously of The Long Winters is the lead singer of Harvey Danger. not to mention the Shins covering the postal service. i love how my bands help each other.
