Thursday is tracks night: A modest proposal.

Lately, I've been into some kind of sappy (beautiful) music. Upon sharing a few pints with some friends at the pub, I played Bright Eyes' song First Day of My Life. I nonchalantly admitted I would love to sing this song at my wedding some day. Yes, I told you I've been into the sap, but I'm o.k. with that. Anyway, the very same friend said I should check out Train's Marry Me suggesting this might be my new wedding song. I replied, "That's just silly, because I would have already done the proposal long before the ceremony..."

Although I won't be singing it at my someday wedding, I did think it was a sweet little tune that brought a little more of the sap in of me.

By the way, if you haven't already done so, I definitely recommend moseying on over to NPR and check out their coverage of SXSW 2011. They feature video of full length concerts from the festival. It's definitely worth checking out if you're into good tunes and ear porn. Every year NPR sheds light on a new band that I usually end up falling in love with, so you too could find a new band or artist to drool over as you listen.

Thursday is tracks night: Who's your doggie?

This week's track comes from David Dondero. If you're a fan of Bright Eyes, you'll dig this guy as he openly attributes his style and sound to Dondero.

If you're into this sort of thing, folksy and what-not, I highly recommend purchasing this album. It's a good solid investment. Here's a live recording of one of the songs off this album. It's playful, fun, and makes me miss my childhood dog.
