Long long time with little to no music. Work has been frantic, the rest of life has sped up rather than slowing down. But a regular thing for me to do in March is to listen to NPR's work up of 100 songs from SXSW artists. Thought I'd jot down a few that caught my ear. Maybe I'll find my way back to more regular listening!!

Listening to a random sampling of artists that are new to me, is such an exciting experience.

Music has been pretty scarce this spring. The rest of my life is trying to make me do more important and adult types of things. Then several weeks ago was the 2016 version of the Firefly Music Festival. (Hopefully I'll be able to write up my thoughts on what I saw there) That reiterated how important music is to me and so I've been listening to a bunch of new stuff since then. Here are a few songs that caught my ear. Weeks continue to fly by so this is turning into a catch-all over the Summer months. Maybe August will see more updates (Here's hoping)

Chlorine - Birthh

Dead Eyes - Adia Victoria

Stuck - Day Wave

I Don't Wanna Be Funny Anymore - Lucy Dacus

Hurtin' (On The Bottle) - Margo Price

Love in Me - Judah and the Lion
