Under Sharp but above Flat

I am on a new music binge:

Alexi Murdoch

Warpaint

Katie Costello

Mariah McManus

Amos Lee

Glasser

Jose Gonzalez

Ivan & Alyosha

Carolina Chocolate Drops

The Secret Sisters

Trampled by Turtles

The Wailin' Jennys

Gillian Welch

Sarah Jarosz

Jukebox The Ghost

Lissie

More to come I'm sure.

Weird coincidence: almost half the good music I've been finding has been featured on Grey's Anatomy. I guess I should start checking out their soundtrack?

An Examination of Roots

"There is one trend my mother carries with her from home to home: yellow walls. Yellow everything with very few exceptions. If there is one things I can say collectively about all of our different houses, it's that they were all yellow."

Where My Cup Sits

Dipping down, past surface scratches and clumsy stains this oblong circle fades. Holding its countless kin captive in its eternal arms. Polished and worn wrinkles are forever tattooed in the wooden skin. This circle's outline is inconsistent. Growing in width before suddenly shifting into a line so narrow that it almost disappears from the naked eye. And now, I search. Through moss and sunflowers, to seek and know the grain.
