Soundtrack for the rain

I’ve learned that one key to success in the rain is having a good soundtrack. An iPod and good songs makes the walk back from the bus stop in the cold rain a great experience. I would highly recommend improving your rainy days with some music! Some of my favorite rainy day soundtrack songs are…

Feist – I Feel It All
The Avett Brothers – Kick Drum Heart
Passion Pit – Better Things
Owl City – Hello Seattle (DUH!)

The XX – Islands

Phoenix – Lizstomania

YACHT – Psychic City

Friendly Fires – Jump in the Pool

Another new fav jam

Fav jam right now

Noah and the Whale – 5 Years Time

You don’t know me at all!

Ben Folds and Regina Spektor have been keeping me afloat the past couple of weeks. Being iPodless and computerless for several days in there made it so that I didn’t hear “You Don’t Know Me” at all. (HA! I didn’t even intend for that little play on words there to happen…they keep creeping in my thoughts!) Anyway, now that I have a fill-in computer, I can listen to it once again. My life is complete.

The computer repair shop called today, and said my motherboard went bad, and they could get one for $400. Luckily my dad found one on eBay for $150 and knows how to install it. Fingers crossed that that is actually the problem and all will be well.
