mine is yours


New Cold War Kids!!! Produced by Jacquire King (of Kings of Leon fame) the album has a significantly different sound than Loyalty to Loyalty. Definitely more mainstream radio friendly...
Some say it sounds a little over-produced, that the album lacks some grit and soul from their previous work. I would have to agree.

Regardless, Mine Is Yours has been on repeat for a few days and I am enjoying it.
Draw your own conclusion!
Check out some tracks!

white winter hymnal

well hi there!
how have you been?
it feels like i haven't posted in forever, primarily because i had all previous posts over the holidays pre scheduled. now that things have settled down and my computer situation has been fixed, i'm ready to get back into finding some really great music!

my plan for the new year is to create a playlist at the end of every month that sums up exactly what i've been listening to. like most, what i listen to is greatly influenced by where i am, what i'm doing, and the energy around me.
this time of year i go into a pseudo hibernation, i like to stay indoors (preferably close to a fire), stay cozy, drink lots of peppermint and chai tea and get lost in a book.
i've been buried in a lot of fantastic books over the past couple of weeks, there hasn't been much that has been able to draw me away.
except maybe a perfect snowfall...


inspired by beautiful scenery, stories i have immersed myself with, and the soundtrack from Jack Goes Boating, i give you the first of a monthly playlist for 2011!!!!

while you're listening, i'll be quite content curled up in a fuzzy blanket with another good book!
cheers!

computer fail!
sorry friends, it seems my poor little macbook has finally had enough and is no longer with me.
until my new one arrives, posts will be a scanty few!

i will share with you one of my discoveries over the holidays. East Village Radio. I have been streaming this internet radio continuously (until the demise of my computer) and really love the Chances With Wolves show.
