Not that I think I am the end all be all of music...I can't even begin to know all I probably need or want to know...but I still love it. When I find something I really love, I can't help but tell everyone about it. I've been listening to a few new albums lately: the new pornographers, wilco, etc...and although I love them both they aren't in the heaviest rotation on my ipod right now.

The other day, I had my ipod running on shuffle and came across a song that I had never heard. Apparently, I had obtained it through one of my various paste magazine compilations. Anyway, the song was so engaging to me that I had to have the full-length album immediately. Here is the album:

Teddy Thompson: Separate Ways

He actually has a new album out already that contains various country music covers, but his first album is just amazing. Take a listen if you can.

The other album I can't get enough of can be heard in it's entirety on their myspace page.

Stars: In Our Bedroom After the War

So that is my two cents worth for music this week. I love the feeling I get when a song has made it's mark on me. It's a feeling that I am in love with, and constantly search for...I don't know...it's nice to know that when it comes to music, I can have that feeling of falling in love over and over again :)
