Say hello to the people who care....

Last week I was sick. I mean temperature and chills and spinning room kind of sick...so what do you do on a sick day? watch tv and movies and drink tea. obviously. so I watched Dear John...and yes I cried. Throughout the movie they kept playing this one song and it was so catchy. I looked it up and found it on the soundtrack...to my delight it was a Joshua Radin song. I was in love! I bought the song and soon learned the name of the girl singing it with him. Schuyler Fisk. Now you may not recognize the name...but you may remember this.

that's right folks that is Schuyler on the far left along side Larisa Oleynik, Rachael Leigh Cook and Bre Blair....The Baby-Sitters Club. Who knew. She has come along way....her singing is better than her acting, don't worry.

Check it out: Paperweight by Joshua Radin and Schuyler Fisk

Music Makes the Heart Beat

Yesterday my friend and I were discussing music...we're nerds like that...and I found myself revisiting my freshman and sophomore years of college. Regina Spektor, Snow Patrol, Death Cab for Cutie, The Submarines, Joshua Radin, Rodeo Ruby Love, KT Tunstall, The Postal Service and Jack's Mannequin to name a few of the bands that popped up. It was like heaven. I forgot how much I loved this music. I know as we grow and change throughout life our interests and styles change as well...but man have I missed the music that defined me for so long. This music brings me back to the time I spent with Al and Matt and the time in my life where my brother was honestly my absolute best friend. Now, the people that know me best will be familiar with presence of these bands in my life during my self admitted angsty phase...Thankfully I have out grown that phase in my but I don't think I will ever out grow the music. It's just too good. Life doesn't have to be all Beiber. It really doesn't.
