Visit my Blog here: Junebug Versus Hurricane
Disclaimer: Yes, I am now another asshole with a blog. Why have I done this? Do I have something profound to say? Probably not. But it will hopefully encourage me to write, which I think is a good thing. Just because you know me and/or are my friend does not obligate you in any way to read, acknowledge, comment on or care about my blog. But if you find yourself wondering: "What the hell is he thinking?" this might be a good place to start. Thanks.

Songs You Should Download This Month
College Times has a 'Songs To Download This Month' section, but it kind of sucks so I thought I would make my own.
Avett Brothers - "Shame" - A banjo, an acoustic guitar and an upright bass, and these guys still manage to put on one of the best live shows I've ever seen. This is a shuffling, simple song about looking back on love gone wrong. Get pulled in by the Avett's southern harmonies.
Band Of Horses - "The General Specific" - This is an amazing band that I've only recently gotten into. All there stuff is great, but this particular song has an energy to it that puts a smile on your face. Roll your windows down, lean your head back and rock this one in the car.
Ultra Orange & Emmanuelle - "Don't Kiss Me Goodbye" - I keep hearing this song in the trailer for this movie that's coming out (which I can't remember the name of), and I can't get it out of my head. Slowly driving music with ethereal vocals. It's got a great vibe to it. If you actually manage to get a copy of this song, email it to me. Can't find it.
Spoon - "Eddie's Ragga" - This song is just cool, as is the band. Plain and simple. I have no idea what they're really singing about other than, well, being cool, but the line "She never been to Texas/Never heard of King Kong." gets me everytime. Britt Daniel has a vocal cadence all his own.
The Kinks - "Lola" - I love the acoustic-based stuff from The Kinks. This one is a particular favorite. Totally bizarre lyrics. Listen to this and be transported to another place.
