::Music Edition::

Recently, I have been getting into some new music thanks to my many musical friends. It helps to have friends that work for music supervisors and they get free stuff all the time and give it to their friends (legally, thankyouverymuch)

So now I would love to share with others. Love it, or hate it. It's just some suggestions...

FIRST AND FOREMOST::

MUMFORD & SONS

This band is hands down my new favorite. At first I thought maybe they were a little too folksy..
I mean, come on now. This picture.

(I dig it, but some may find it to be a little too much folk/indie/hipster)

But give it a chance!! They are on my blog playlist over there (#2) -------------- >

SOO great. Especially when driving. I started listening about a month ago and I. cannot. stop. I am seeing them live in Hollywood in October--can't wait!!

Favorite Songs::

"Roll Away Your Stone"--

It seems that all my bridges have been burned
But you say 'That's exactly how this grace thing works’
It's not the long walk home that will change this heart
But the welcome I receive with every start

(little sample of lyrics)

"Sigh No More"

"Awake My Soul"

FLORENCE + THE MACHINE

LOOOVE this chick and her band as well. Sometimes I jog to it. Sometimes it's just on in the kitchen. Either way:: good, clean fun. I have also put one of these tunes on the side playlist as well.

Favorite songs::

"Dog Days Are Over" (made popular on the Eat, Pray, Love trailer) ---> #3 on playlist

"Drumming"

"You've Got the Love"

CHRISTOPHER WRAY

This guy is my friend and everyone should give him a listen. It's pretty jazzy and soulful music. I just have to say I know him personally, and his girlfriend is one of my best friends in L.A.

CHECK HIM OUT!

THE END--- You are welcome! (I hope)

I also went to a wedding last weekend in Hollywood in a 90 year old movie theatre (which also serves as my church, Ecclesia).

It was super beautiful and fun. This was my date, Grant. He is great.

Yeah..aaand.... that's all for now.

Have a great week!!
