2 Songs for a Friday

Long Time Traveller // Wailin' Jennys



We'll start slow and work our way to oblivion. This reminds me of the "O Brother Where Art Thou" soundtrack. I stumbled across the Wailin' Jennys on a quest to dig deep into the Avett Brothers' archives, and was instantly entranced. Their harmonies, their simplicity, their message... quite impactful. Great de-stresser on a drizzly Friday.

Happy Hippopotamus // Cloud Cult



I was stuck on one album by Cloud Cult for quite some time, (Feel Good Ghosts, with a special shout out to When Water Comes to Life, because it is in fact my ringtone.) That album took me places I never thought music could, and then it brought me back to earth again in pieces all a-jumble. Then, thanks to grooveshark.com, I came upon this gem, and a whole new album. I like to take my albums slowly, sip them while their hot like coffee. I'm feeling good about this one. And it reminds me of my best friend, Miss Maggie Draughon.
