"The future looked so bright then. What happened tonight? Now aeroplanes are crashing. Who turned out the light?"-Sondre Lerche

Go here. Hear this boy. He's Norwegian. I'm obsessed. I downloaded twelve or thirteen songs Friday night and now that's all I'm listening to. I can't stop. I found a ton of Ben Kweller, too. A bit more on the rockin' side than our boy Sondre, but mucho entertaining. And, for a little more of Ben, I found two tasty little nuggets that I've been searching in vain for until now. See, Ben had a side project going with Ben Folds and Ben Lee. It was called (wait for it) The Bens. I'd heard one fraction of a song and, as I love Folds and Kweller, was super excited to find these little gems cleverly disguised as Kweller tracks. And lastly I found some Bright Eyes. Dear Conor Oberst tires to make you feel his pain with his voice, and is somewhat successful sometimes, but kind overdoes it sometimes as well. It's still very much good stuff. Good long-drive-by-yourself-with-the-windows-down music.
So yeah. Lot's of new music. Headed to Foxwoods today with the fam to gamble (read piss away) my pennies. If I win, I get concert tickets this summer. I need to go to a show. That's my goal for the summer. Screw the bills, screw everything else. I'm treating myself.
And of course it's raining again. My car smells like a dirty wet sock and my Yankee Candle Honeydew Melon Car Jar. Who wants a ride...
