Here you go.

For me, this blog might as well be a Twitter account, because all I've been doing lately is posting links to other stuff. Well, sorry. The new She And Him album is on NPR this week! Listen to it while you cut up a sweet potato for your lunch tomorrow, or whatever it is you do on Monday nights.

Workout Jams

So, you guys been workin' out? I have. I've got this great new gym called My Parents' Basement. The plus sides: it's about five minutes from my place, there's no membership fee, and there has literally never been a line the entire time I've been going. The down sides: there are only three machines and they're all shoved into this weird little room with the water heater. I bring this up because NPR has a playlist of workout songs! I guess it's good, and the article itself made me laugh, but it doesn't hold a candle to my own personal workout jams. Obviously (obviously!) the best workout playlist is DJ DONNA SUMMER and ONLY DJ Donna Summer.

Public Service-y

You can listen to the new Spoon album on NPR. You're welcome!

Now What's This?

Remember when you were just a small child, and Christmastime filled you with a sense of wonder? Well, I have a great way for you to recapture that feeling! Just watch this crazy Bob Dylan video for "Must Be Santa." Mostly you will be wondering what the hell Bob Dylan's doing.

In all seriousness, this is great. Sure, it looks like the worst party ever (is Bob Dylan a ghost or a monster or what? On NPR they called him "Tom Petty's Aunt" and I have to agree), but it definitely isn't boring. We need more confusing, sped-up versions of Christmas standards. Good job, Bob Dylan.

NPR Update

All sorts of goodies on All Songs Considered right now! Tomorrow night is a live concert by Winfrey family favorite Passion Pit, and there's an exclusive first listen of the new Sunset Rubdown album! Now you know.

I was so excited to see this that I haven't even listened to it yet.

John Vanderslice

You can listen here to John Vanderslice's new album. Winfreys love John Vanderslice,although some Winfreys haven't listened to his last couple of albums. Better late then never.

All Songs Considered

I think that everyone is either a song person or an album person. This point has probably been made before by someone much more pop-culturally savvy than me (probably Chuck Klosterman, because I was creepily obsessed with him in high school and sometimes his thoughts appear to me as if they were my own), but I still think it's true. I'm definitely a song person. I don't have a problem skipping past songs on an album, or playing a song on repeat until I can't stand it anymore (Alex can vouch for me...he remembers The Modest Mouse Incident of '04). This is all one long, rambly way of saying that I've started listening to All Songs Considered again! All Songs Considered might be the perfect show for people like me that get very attached to individual songs. I've been spending a lot of time thinking about what my "dream job" might be (because, aimless schlub that I am, I have no idea), and I think Bob Boilen might have it. What could be better than hosting this radio show? I listened to this particular episode this weekend. It's from Valentine's Day and the theme is Lesser Known Love Songs. Give it a listen while you're studying! That last sentence was intended for Alex, but if you aren't Alex and you're also studying, feel free to imagine that it was for you!
