The Avett Brothers are coming to town!!!
I found out (via Twitter of course) that they will be in town a week before the wedding; happy wedding present to me!! Sorry for the excessive exlamation marks- these guys are in my top... 5? 3? of all bands, ever. Needless to say, I'm pretty excited. In honor of their (not too far off) impending arrival: Music for the masses... or at least for you guys.

July's "Art to Inspiration" artist is the lovely Smita Jacob. You can find more of her work here: http://hoggerandco.com/ Smita is the real deal: Talented, smart, and friendly.
Do yourself a favor and check her site out. It's like Christmas for your eyes.
Speaking of Christmas and other things that make me think of cooler weather, check out the links below for the two winter songs I mentioned:
Winter Wall by Wise Child
White Winter Hymnal by Fleet Floxes

Happy Sunday.
Hey there! Happy Sunday.
It's officially dead week here in grad school land. (Does anyone else find it ironic that there is nothing "dead" about dead week?) In honor of all the last minute papers, projects, and other stuff that the professor mentioned and you're just now remembering: here's a sound track to get you motivated (first part) or help you relax, once it all gets finished of course, (the second part of this list).

This month I'm rocking out to a play-list that makes me think I'm in a convertible on the California coast. I want lots of sunshine and crazy amounts of wind in my hair. In fact, summer is making its way to the South already, in bits and humidity filled pieces, and I'm trying to hang on to the freshness of spring as long as I can.
Plus doing homework is much more bearable when I can sit outside and listen to the crickets... like I'm doing tonight.
This month will be a good month and I am determined to not simply wish it away.
