Smells Like Good Music

I look forward to the day when I remember the time when iconic songs of my generation were new. That's a really revolutionary idea for me. I think it will probably be soon but what will those songs be for me, "The Thong Song?" I'm hoping for something better for my musical generation. What will be my "Buddy Holly" or "What's the Story Morning Glory?"

For Greg, Forever Ago

As I sit here wasting an exorbitant amount of time doing everything I shouldn't be doing, a blog update seems like just the procrastinatory trick! I've been listening to the new Bon Iver album. Anyone who thinks that the neo-soul genre label that is so often tacked on to Justin Vernon is a joke obviously hasn't listened to For Emma, Forever Ago very closely. Track 3, Skinny Love is easily one of the best songs I've heard in a long time. There are songs that just take my breath away and Skinny Love definitely fits that category. Listen to it on repeat, for your own sake. Same goes for Re: Stacks. The title reminds me of my job in the library, which I love. Good associations. I'm buying this on LP as soon as I can get my hands on some cashola. Do the same.
