Today was the first day of Winter Quarter. I am SO not ready for it... I would much rather be on break for another couple of weeks. It didn't help that I found out on Saturday that a class I had registered for meets on days that are opposite than what the registration site stated. How does that happen??? I ended up dropping it which I think will work out better in the long run because I'll be taking less units and it frees up a bit more of my time.
I've listening to a lot of new music like crazy. I think I have a problem! I keep reading all of these "Best of" lists of 2008 and discovering some really great music. In the genre of "scratchy-voiced, tortured singer-songwriter" (a personal fave of mine), my new obsession is Joshua James. I listen to a lot of singer-songwriters but I find that most of them sound very formulaic -- like they're writing songs to try and get on the radio. Joshua James is very stark with his lyrics and I've been mesmerized by his words and music. Check him out!
Here are some songs that are getting me through the week:
The Walkmen - In The New Year
Leona Lewis - Run
The Killers - Tidal Wave
Katy Perry - Hot n Cold (Yes, I finally drank the Kool-Aid!)
Fleet Foxes - White Winter Hymnal
Joshua James - Lord, Devil & Him
Department of Eagles - No One Does It Like You
Keane - Better Than This
Roisin Murphy - Slave To Love
Bon Iver - Skinny Love
