something appropriate

"and the world's got me dizzy again
you'd think after 22 years I'd be used to the spin
and it only feels worse when I stay in one place
so I'm always pacing around or walking away
I keep drinking the ink from my pen
and I'm balancing history books up on my head
but it all boils down to one quotable phrase
"If you love something give it away""

- Bright Eyes, "Land-Locked Blues" (with Emmylou Harris!)

I love it. My friend Rosanna from L'Abri introduced me to Band of Horses last fall and I slowly fell in love. I like the new album a lot. His voice is really cool and unusual. The last couple tracks are interesting and kind of remind me of the rockabilly feel that Brighteyes' Cassadaga had. I love it. I think it's so cool to hear these super intelligent guys with sweet voices make country-ish songs. It's a lovely contrast.
