Debussy and Joshua Radin: Music Monday

If You've ever been in college, you will understand the hatred behind to next two words I am going to write.


All.Nigher. (and the horrible sick to your stomach feeling you have the whole day after).


last night, I was up all night analyzing the reduced score of Claude Debussy's Prelude to the Afternoon of the Faun. Fun right? Actually it's not that bad, really, it's not, It's a beautiful piece of music. But I have a professor that believes in me more than I believe in myself, you know the kind, and pushes me harder than most of my classmates. I'm sure one day I will be so thankful for that push, but today is not that day.


However, I managed to get through the assignment with a couple of friends who are in the class, and this relaxing music of Joshua Radin.

If you haven't heard of him, this is my first service announcement to introduce you to him, his music is awesome! If you've watched the sitcom Scrubs, or seen the movies Dear John or The Last Kiss then you have probably heard his music. If you are interested here is the link!

good song options:
Paperweight (My personal Favorite!)
You've Got Growing Up To Do
I'd Rather Be With You
They Bring Me To You
Girlfriend in a Coma
...pretty much everything. I don't think there's a song i'm not a fan of.

look his music up, it will be a good decision, AND i saw him live and he is an awesome performer as well, which is such a plus to see someone coming onto the popular music scene who is actually a musician. I once heard his music described as "It's like waking up from a great nap, and feeling totally refreshed." I agree, he's kind of in the "whisper rock" genre, very acoustic, guitar, drums that sort of thing. But the songs are legit. So Check it out! Of course there are others as well, but we will have to wait until next monday to talk about them!


So that was my first Music Monday! hope you enjoy it!

since I haven't slept all night I'm going to head to bed! But I hope everyone had a great Valentines Day!

Patagonia!

PS! my 24-24 list is up! check it out!
