I know, you’ve all been dying to know what erin-go-blog has been listening to, right?
No? Too bad, because I’m going to tell you anyway. 😉
R has introduced me to some music I’d been previously unfamiliar with, and here are two bands I’m particularly enjoying:
and
Right now, all I have is a bunch of tracks he’s burned on a CD for me, but I fully intend to buy both The Shins’ “Chutes too Narrow” and Einstein’s Sister’s “Humble Creatures” as soon as I have a bit of spare cash.
Unfortunately, it would appear that Einstein’s Sister is no longer together. If you try clicking on the link to their website from the site I linked, you get something that is clearly not a band’s website. Eh.
I had the CD on in the car this morning, and I cannot get the Shins’ song “Young Pilgrims” out of my head:
And I learned fast how to keep my head up
’cause I know there is this side of me
that wants to grab the yoke from the pilot
and just fly the whole mess into the sea…
A couple of tracks of note from Einstein’s Sister:
Solar Circle Girl, a fun, mid-tempo ska track that I cannot hear without smiling, and Something True, a simply gorgeous acoustic ballad:
All we need is to be for one another
Now that we have one another
let the madness through.
Please believe in the fate that draws us closer
knowing every stolen moment
brings us something true
I love being introduced to new music! 🙂
