The pain meds from my surgery have left me creatively inept. So, I've decided to leave you with some music that's been getting me through the day. Escucha.
Phoenix - 1901, from the ablum "Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix"
Currently, my favorite band. Check out their music video for this track too. Original and very un-embed-able. Bastards.
Arctic Monkeys - Mardy Bum, from the album "Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not"
"Oh" for Two on video selection. Apparently, my Youtube scavenging skills are piss-poor. At least this one passes the "I'm gonna throw a solo Karaoke party" test.
Barcelona - Stars, from the album "Absolutes"
I spent last summer in Barcelona, so I share a special affinity with this band. Plus - alternative music with electronic work is so 2009.
Ben Folds - Effington, from the album "Way to Normal"
Hahahaha. Wow. Ok, so Ben Folds decided to write a song about a small town in Illinois, on the way to a concert in Normal, Illinois. He ended up playing the song in front of the town, only to find out that the town's name was Effingham, not Effington. I can't make this stuff up:

Eddie Vedder - Rise, from the "Into the Wild" soundtrack
I listen to this album whenever I think about leaving Chicago. A bit cheesy, yes, but it makes leaving everything I've ever known seem simple, rather than unnecessarily complicated.

I've been all up into Phoenix on Pandora lately, and I live in Phoenix. Barcelona for a whole summer huh? I spent three pretty magical days there and despite the beauty, I almost never want to go back just to preserve those memories.
