hello

My dear friend Olivia invited me to write this blog with her.  So here I am.  My music taste is far from comprehensive, but I'll give what I can and what I like.  I'm more into the idea of suggestions from other people than dispensing advice to others about music.  We'll see what happens.

Two facts about me:
- I guess most of my musical forays are in the rock realm, leaning closer to what people call indie/folk/alternative/I'm-not-sure-what-people-are-calling-it-these-days.  Olivia and I share a love of rap songs with dances (a la "Crank That" and the "Cupid Shuffle"), Tracy Chapman, Nina Simone, and the acoustic guitar.
- In terms of favorites, I prefer albums to artists.  For example, I'm a huge fan of Ray LaMontagne's Trouble.  Till The Sun Turns Black, however, was pretty bad the last time I checked.  More on that later.

For now, a sweet little video/song that I posted on my blog a few months ago.  I'm obsessed with it and trying to learn it on my guitar.  I want to marry her.
