He&#8217;s definitely someone you would expect me to like, a singer\/songwriter-y dude with sort of acoustic, mostly cheery songs.  What my cousin calls &#8220;WB Music&#8221; (i.e., something that would have been used in the background on Dawson&#8217;s Creek or Everwood).  That doesn&#8217;t bother me at all.  <u>Other fave song:<\/u> &#8220;A Perfect Day&#8221; (LOVE!)<\/p>\n<p><u>Favorite Singles (not on any of the above albums):<\/u><br \/>\n<UL type=\"square\"><LI>&#8220;Mary&#8221; Patty Griffin &#8211; so so so beautiful.<br \/>\n<LI>&#8220;Fly Me Away&#8221; Annie Little &#8211; a freebie from Amazon but I still like it!<br \/>\n<LI>&#8220;Sumatra&#8221; Katie Herzig &#8211; the second song of hers to become a serious repeat play for me. I should probably check out her albums at this point.<br \/>\n<\/UL><\/p>\n<p><u>Other Albums I Liked:<\/u><\/p>\n<p><UL type=\"square\"><LI><strong>Shwayze &#8220;Let It Beat&#8221;<\/strong> &#8211; I have no idea why I dig these weird Shwayze albums so much. But you know what? I DO.  And that&#8217;s all there is to it.  They make me wanna dance.<br \/>\n<\/UL><\/p>\n<p><u>Not really for me \/ but maybe for you!:<\/u>  Nada!!<\/p>\n<p><u>Shamefully have either not listened to at all, or not all the way through, or so few times that I can&#8217;t legitimately offer an opinion:<\/u><\/p>\n<p>Mos Def &#8220;The Ecstatic&#8221; &#8211; I dug this dude&#8217;s acting in both <a href=\"http:\/\/www.crankymonkeybutt.com\/snip\/archives\/2006\/03\/big_screen_16_b.html\">&#8220;16 Blocks&#8221;<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.crankymonkeybutt.com\/snip\/archives\/2008\/03\/big_screen_be_k.html\">&#8220;Be Kind, Rewind,&#8221;<\/a> and then Rolling Stone gave this album a really enthusiastic review&#8230;but I&#8217;ve barely listened to it yet.  Hey! November was a TOUGH month school-wise.<\/p>\n<p>Company of Thieves &#8220;Ordinary Riches&#8221; &#8211; another victim of my inability to listen to music at the end of last semester when I was writing, writing, writing for weeks (my semester was very back-end-heavy in terms of assignments).  Cant&#8217; remember what made me buy it, but I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve made it through twice yet. I will say, the lead female really sounds like Rachael Yamagata. And you know, someday I&#8217;ll find time to listen and check it out more!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Absolutely Love &#038; Adore: Sons of Anarchy: Shelter EP &#8211; Yup, another EP from my favorite TV show.
