Listening to...

Wow, it's been a month since I've blogged! I have many things in my head I want to empty out on here and pictures to show off of our kiddos, but today is not going to be that day. Instead, I just wanted to share some of the albums getting the most play in our house. The iPod probably wants to play something different but for now we are digging these. Check them out!
For Mother's Day Tim bought me JJ Heller's CD, "Painted Red." You may have heard this song:



The entire CD is great, but there are a couple songs that really get me. This being one:



Deas Vail is a newer group. Their sound reminds us a little of Death Cab for Cutie. We are enjoying their CD, "Birds & Cages" very much.





Tim can't stop listening to Owl City's album "Ocean Eyes." The kids and I just bought it for him for Father's Day. This is the kids' favorite song to sing and dance to:



I like this one:



For our anniversary, Tim surprised me with "Crazy Love" - Michael Buble's newer one. You may have heard this one on the radio:



But I LOVE this one. It sounds so James Bond theme-ish!



And lastly, but certainly with no less play time than the rest, is Relient K's newer one, "Forget and Not Slow Down." Tim and I are in agreement that this is our favorite Relient K album. And, you may (or may not) have noticed that 2 of the songs above - one of Deas Vail's and one of Owl City's - feature Relient K's lead singer, Matt Thiessen. He seems to be popping up on a lot of albums lately!





Anyone else have music to suggest?

I love JJ Heller. We were going to see her at Spring Arbor, but that didn't happen. I love Your Hands, it has really helped me a lot with my struggles. She has an older CD that I like. I don't have it but I have heard a lot of the songs on Pandora. I also just downloaded a CD from Over the Rhine. Anyway have a great weekend.
