Here it is, the revenge to the tune...

So, since my desktop PC is packed, I have access to virtually none of my music. My laptop has, essentially, nothing on it. This means my music selection has been very sparse lately. I've been listening to Mika, Death Cab for Cutie, Elliott Smith, Matt Nathanson (really, just one song of his, because I can't find him on the internet, which is especially frustrating since I HAVE both CDs somewhere in my ten thousand boxes), the Aquabats, and Wilco. I also went out and found Harry and the Potters and that one song Hey There Delilah by the Plain White Ts, 'cause it's been stuck in my head for a few days. Any suggestions for new bands to look into, keeping these tastes in mind?

(Also, as to my earlier request for books--I have solved the dilemma by re-reading HP7 three pages at a time, which will surely last me until quals start. Maybe I should just break down and order something from Amazon, since I can't seem to find the time to go to an actual bookstore....)

(Also also, lab was good today. I actually got to DO stuff. Hurrah!!)

Try the R.E.M Cd I sentcha ;).

I would recommend checking out Beck's album "sea change."
That album is really good. I always thought of Beck as kind of a silly and quirky artist with music akin more to his song "loser" or "mixed bizness" or "girl." Sea Change is actually a serious album though and sounds really fantastic. When I first discovered it three days ago I thought, "I think Kara would like this."

So...I'm sending you a couple of songs (if you are already familiar, just ignore 'em). If you dig 'em, I can send the whole album.

Oh yeah...also. The second song I sent you I included lyrics with. I think they will resonate with you, especially considering the way they are delivered. Anyway, enjoy.

Order something from Amazon!! if you need an excuse: sgsb2.sona-systems.com. Online psych surveys and some of them will probably give you like an $8 gift certificate for 20 or 30 minutes. If you ever have time.
