Half Moon - Iron & Wine
New Iron & Wine new Iron & Wine! Still adjusting to the newish sound, but I think it’s going to grow on me. That voice can do no wrong.

Walls (No. 3) | Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers
All around your island
there’s a barricade
that keeps out the danger
but holds in the pain
Sometimes you’re happy
and sometimes you cry
Half of me is ocean
Half of me is skyTruth: for every human emotion, there is a corresponding Tom Petty song.
Best Petty song ever? Perhaps.

Knotty Pine - Dirty Projectors & David Byrne
I’ll be waking up to this song tomorrow, which virtually ensures that it’s going to be a great Tuesday morning.

Got to Get You Into My Life- The Beatles
Did I tell you I need you every single day of my life?
(This song is a necessity.)

The Other Side - Bruno Mars (ft. Cee Lo and B.o.B)
You guys, I tried to resist, but this voice is just too good to be brushed off as “music teenagers like.” Bruno Mars may in fact have the most attractive tenor voice I’ve heard in—oh, I don’t know, FOREVER. Also, LOOK IT’S CEE LO (in other news, the rap in the bridge references Narnia, which automatically warrants a mention)

Wonderful - Geographer
Laying in bed smiling at memories, the kind that conjure up the same butterflies as that night you first realized that this might be something wonderful—this year is off to a fantastic start.

When the Sun Don’t Shine - Best Coast
Evoking the sunshiney warmth of summer (who am I kidding, the sunshiney warmth of a month ago) on this 40 degree Echo Park evening.

This song is almost absurdly beautiful.

Close Call - Rilo Kiley
You know those songs that remind you of an incredibly specific moment—one night, one car, one 30-minute drive east on the 10?
Her good looks could’ve sailed a ship, but her will alone could’ve sunk it.

A 24-year old recent college grad, ENFP (so they tell me), nostalgia-prone yet eternally optimistic. An aspiring writer who spends her weekdays answering phones and blogging for other people (everyone has to have a day job, right?)I like nighttime music, things that remind me of London, dark comedies & books books books.
Also, I paint shoes, have an excellent telephone voice & don't dig the oxford comma.
