i can't stop listening to bon iver's new album, bon iver. it's perfect. when i have it playing in my car, i feel like i'm in a movie.
scene: lacey driving down the highway with the windows down. hair whipping around face. huge sunglasses on. lacey looks very serious. she is about to make a huge life decision. lacey pulls into food lion for bananas. end scene.
this album makes me happy and sad and hopeful and thoughtful and wistful. only a girl could experience all those emotions at once. listen to it here. be prepared to fall truly madly deeply in love. (do you remember that song? of course you do.)
also on my summer music rotation:

happy listening!
Very summmeresque music for sure, but I feel that you flirt with being sexist by saying "only a girl could experience all those emotions at once." Saying a guy can't feel that many varying and even contradictory emotions at once is a tad incorrect and belittling. You're basically saying that they 1) aren't aware of all their emotions or 2) aren't capable of feeling so many emotions (which is a result of a multitude of thoughts and feeling behind each emotion; so, by that logic, they aren't smart enough to be aware of all their thoughts?). Either of which is a a little bit insulting to me as a guy as to what you view as limitations on our psyche. Stereotypical masculinity in modern society simply causes most guys to manually override the natural process of feelings that should occur, but that doesn't mean they aren't there.
ReplyDeleteOn that note, keep up the good blogging and hope this week is better than last week, which sounded like a slightly downer week. But if it wasn't, then there's nothing wrong with hoping the next week will be better regardless.
hey, anonymous! (is this michael? hiiii!) i was being sarcastic and actually making fun of being a girl because we're always so dang full of emotions, buuut thanks for the long comment anyway.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting your music, Lacey. This is the only way I learn about new and different music - if someone shares their love. I am going to go sample those albums and see if any of it strikes a chord with this old lady ;>)
ReplyDeleteUh, Anonymous up there doesn't seem to be aware of the spaghetti / waffle analogy...just sayin.
Oh, and btw, I am in love with that bon iver album cover!
ReplyDeleteStupid long comments blow my cover every time. Um, please don't think I was upset or even felt thaat stongly about the matter. I was simply trying to give my 2 cents, yet as with most everything, gave at least 5 cents of explanation instead. high five* to that and hey to you too.
ReplyDeleteYou inspire me to really expand my music base :) Help me along and burn me a cd rooms! I'll provide the cds, you provide the rockin jams.
ReplyDeleteActually in retrospect I've never had a cover blown or been in the position where there was a cover to possibly be blown by a long comment. It just felt right starting off the comment with a 60s cartoonish villian "drats, foiled again" kind of vibe so the transition to slight embarassment would be softened.
ReplyDeleteHow neat that we're both reading the same book! I read chapters 6 & 7 this morning and underlined almost the whole entire text....I want to cover my walls with her words so I never forget some of the things she's saying! Thanks for stopping by my blog, your comment was so encouraging! I can't wait to check out this music you've shared....love Brooke Waggoner, Fleet Foxes & Graham Colton, so I think I will love the rest too...never heard any of them, yet! Thanks for sharing, I love new music and never make time to find it myself! I don't know if posting about music is something you do often (haven't browsed your blog yet) but I'm your newest follower in case you do!
