Have you ever felt like a part of a small group of really cool people? This past Sunday, the hubs and I went up to Chapel Hill, NC for Merge Fest. Merge is a record label based in NC who signed some really good indie bands and every five years, has a blow out to celebrate a few more years of signing killer bands. Although we wanted to attend all weekend (it runs Thursday through Sunday evening), we had life going on, so we decided on a last minute road trip for the final night.
I really wish I could have seen Spoon, but I was excited to know that we would get to see She & Him. If you haven't heard of this group, you may not be alone. She & Him is made up of M. Ward and Zoey Deschanel; a musician and an actor. I've added a link to another blog with an article about Zoey and a video so you can be graced with her voice. I will admit that like the writer of this article, I too have a girl crush on Zoey.
p.s. If you like Deathcab for Cutie, you might also know that Zoey and the lead singer are engaged. Enjoy!

Lost and (not) Gone Forever
This past week, it was brought to my attention that my favorite band will be headed my way in a few months. I read an article that summed up my emotion exactly on this upcoming tour and hopes of a new album.
"But honestly all it takes for me to get excited about a new Guster album is to know that it is being made. "
Just knowing they are headed here and that new songs will come with, makes me as excited as a guy watching adult videos. Yes, a little much for the TMI (to much information) visual, but this is Guster we are talking about here. I saw them back in the 90's when I walked up to the stage (only three of us were standing around to see them) and they were excited to know I heard of this Boston-based band down here in the south.
This was the band that I hung out with in Charleston during a day long festival. I saw them in multiple cities and venues and met awesome people because they sang wonderful music. I listened to them on long car rides to Orlando from NC and even when I broke up with a boyfriend to help deal with letting crappy things go. They remind me of the fall season when I was in college and then even out of college pretending to be in college at one of their campus events. They helped me celebrate a milestone birthday a few years ago. And I puffy heart my logo long sleeved Guster tee. So, when the email came about to say they would be here in my town, I raced online to get my ticket to have the chance to have yet another memory made of my favorite band. So needless to say (yes, I'm a dork) but a ticker should be added as the countdown to October begins.
