21. can't stop listening

She & Him

Zooey Deschanel paired up with M.Ward to release throaty, melodic tunes--some covers, some of Zooey's own songs. I can't stop listening to their first and only album, Volume One. Where is Volume Two?

"Sweet Darlin'," She & Him

Wilco

Wilco just recently released Wilco (The Album). While it's definitely not one of my favorite albums, I can't get the song "You and I" out of my head. Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy and Feist sing on this song, and it's absolutely beautiful. Listen to the lyrics--they get me every time.

"You and I," Wilco

Dirty Projectors

They hit the nail on the head with their most recent album, Bitte Orca. I can't help but fall in love with the soft and strong vocals that every song delivers.

"Stillness is the Move," Dirty Projectors

1. restart.

recently i've come to love the lunch they serve at de neve. there's an entire sandwich bar, complete with loafs of bread, veggies, and different types of meat. personally, i don't get any bread, and i load up on veggies and tuna. today, i decided to go and sit by myself.

i usually haaaate eating alone but today i brought my book with me and i ended up having just as great a time (if not more so) than had i gone with friends. i was able to take my time, read, and just chill. i am definitely going to do that again.

anyways, i guess i've decided that i'm going to start writing in my blog once again...and to leave my livejournal. random friends from 7th grade still follow me and who knows if they actually still use it but i don't want to risk that shit. so blogspot it is. woohoo!

EDIT: genius-ing simon & garfunkle gives you a great genius playlist. just putting that out there..
