Favorite Song This Moment...

...sorry it's been awhile for a post. I've been in Asia, take it easy on me! :P


Check out Band of Horses new CD; it's great! I'm loving Blue Beard this moment however.

Favorite Song This Minute...

I love this time of year. I love the decorations and the crowded malls and smells of fresh baked goodies everywhere I go. I love buying presents and watching the classic Christmas movies and getting together with old friends and family. I even love the ridiculously cold weather!

But maybe my favorite thing about the Christmas is the music. Why is it that Christmas has spawned countless songs and carols that are updated and remastered every year while I can count on one hand the number of songs written for other holidays? I think it's because deep down everybody loves the feeling you get when you hear one of those timeless classics. Every year I put on one of my Christmas mix CD's while I put up the Christmas Tree and the decorations, and let the memories of Christmases long long ago come flooding back.

This year, with the stresses that come with growing up and getting older mixed in with the typical holiday hustle, those warm feelings of community and family were never more welcomed. I've never been very good at choosing my favorite Christmas song (much like picking a favorite movie) but the song that has hit another level with me this year has to be "2000 Miles" by Coldplay. Kinda makes me want to curl up under a blanket by the fire with someone special.

In case I don't get the chance to say it before the big day,

Merry Christmas Everyone!

My Favorite Song This Minute...

The Decemberists - The Crane Wife 1 & 2. It's an oldie, but I just can't seem to stop listening to it. (Or any of the other songs on the CD for that matter!)

Summer of Concerts, Continued

Well this one was certainly easier on my budget! Last Friday Cecilia and I saw Bryan Adams play a special show at Telus Field in Edmonton. He was brought here to ceremonially open the next Oilers season, and as a season ticket holder I got our floor tickets for free! Since I've already seen Nickelback, The Tragically Hip and Shania Twain, now all that's left on my "Best Canadian Bands" list, is Celine Dion! :P

My Favorite Song This Minute...

...is Fireflies by the band Owl City; if only the local radio station would play it more often! Anyways, I think you should check it out.
