JAM-UARY

Sitting on campus today in between classes I felt the urge to make a new mix. It happens to be slightly school/winter related, but they were the topics on my mind!

Thar she blows:

1. Caterpillar Girl - Lou Barlow
2. The Weakest Shade of Blue - The Pernice Brothers
3. Take Me - Eef Barzelay
4. I'll Kiss you at Every Red Light - Creaky Boards
5. A Book Laid on its Binding - Jason Anderson
6. Our Life is Not a Movie or Maybe - Okkervil River
7. My Mathematical Mind - Spoon
8. Acid Tongue - Jenny Lewis
9. Campus - Vampire Weekend (shush, I know)
10. My Favourite Book - Stars
11. As Tall as Cliffs - Margot and the Nuclear So So's (love their name!)
12. Knickerbocker - Fujiya and Miyagi
13. The Gentle Preservation of Children's Minds - Irving
14. Help Me - The Mommyheads
15. 6000 Shipwrecks - Kite Flying Society
16. Blood on the Snow - Horsefeathers

You don't have to tell me, I know I have great taste in music.

The Man Who Planted Trees

I love Jean Giono's work, and I love that his short story "The Man Who Planted Trees" is starting to grow in popularity with it's relevance to today.

I've found an animated version of the story (that actually won an Oscar for best short film), and I find the tale just as endearing as ever. It's also narrated by Christopher Plummer, everyone's favorite Austrian Naval Captain.
