Moozik week

[gwyn]

So, since I've been such a lousay journaler lately that my friends list is dropping like flies, I thought I'd actually, you know, do something. So, I've deemed this moozik week and I will put up a song to share every day. (I will also put up some pics soon of the Great Garage Project, but that's boring to most.) Since I missed Monday (now is the time when projects and papers start rolling in for the class -- OMG, I'm a teacherOMFG and I have to look at papers AUGH!), I will put up two today.

The first is a rollicking bit of early almost-summer fun, Louisiana Down Home Blues by C.J Chenier and the Red Hot Louisiana Band. I defy anyone to not want to get up and two-step to Cajun or zydeco music, cherie. The second is by that recent flavor of the month, Bright Eyes, from a collection of special recordings by contemporary alt-country and folk artists. It's called Trees Get Wheeled Away and it kind of fits my mood today. I hope you like both!

Thank you! I'm loving some zydeco.

I know you're probably right about the flavor of the week thing, but I'm one of the emo-kids that's loved Oberst since he was 16 or so. So I mildly protest.

Heee... I know, I shouldn't tease the fans. ;-) It just surprised me that suddenly, at the end of last year, he was everywhere at once. I couldn't open a magazine without seeing something about him. I'm always a little nonplussed when people I like become flavors of the month. I was sort of bitter recently when Frou Frou turned up in like every vid made because of the Garden State soundtrack, and that pretty much quashed my interest in them for a long while because I couldn't escape them.

Muchas gracias. I'm listening to the first now, and enjoying it thoroughly.

Me? I don't understand fairweather LJ friends.

Hi - I friended you a while ago, but I didn't comment (sorry-tend to be kind of shy...). But, I thought I'd say that I've really enjoyed your vids and your journal.
And thanks for the music!! I really liked Louisiana Down Home Blues! Appropriate for the hot weather :)
