"http://www.mediafire.com/?zymt7vtmi00 | So this is it for awhile. I might be online every now and then, but I have three days of work, packing, preparing and my last loads of laundry to do before Thursday when K-K-K-Katie gets in. Then, we load the truck and set off to the mountains to start the next chapter of our lives. Together. Take care peeps. Wish us luck and a safe travel if you'd like. "
"http://www.mediafire.com/?3wstzwblaxg | Leaving the shore of lighthouses and harbors is a bit hard. I do love Boston. But all I need to remember is why. At the other end (about a week from today) is a lighthouse that is taller and burns brighter than anything I could've ever imagined. She is truly more than I could've ever wanted in another person. "You give me inspiration / You give me love / My little lighthouse / And the brilliant things that you do / I think I could like you / Yes, we could walk for awhile / Or simple talk for awhile / We could watch a video show / Or catch a picture show, don't you know / We could shower, put on a change of clothes / And go where everyone goes / We could stay in, Get a cheap bottle of wine and dine / We could go where the wind blows o'er your hair / As it blows, watch it show the sky, the sky is much darker now / But you wouldn't like that, no, you wouldn't like that / And if I could see out, I wouldn't have to shout / There's no need to pout / We could take a weekend away / Do holiday things, get drunk and fall down / And don't ask for reasons you hold / Got a heart made of gold / get things done as they're told / So let me tell you now there's no silver line / There's those that don't want to see / And the story so far rings like a shotgun in your hand / Cos you give me inspiration / You give me love / My little lighthouse / And the brilliant things that you do / I think I could like you."
"http://www.mediafire.com/?zymjmq3tcmp | With a voice a little more haunting and nearly as insightful as Stephin Merritt's, this electronic track by Matthew Dear's Big Hands is soothes and relaxes the soul. "

"http://www.mediafire.com/?210cgnp9eej | While burning some CDs before I pack them away (next to be opened in Winter Park) I came across this little mushy gem. It moves me like few other songs do. And Katie, "watching stars without you, my soul cries.""

"http://www.mediafire.com/?njz2txrnxgo | I believe the review on Becky Stark's voice called it "honey-dripped." An accurate description as this young lady's vox moves you with a Stars-esque tune set in the background. Released by indie pop powerhouse Matador, the sweet chorus of songs on Lavender Diamond's 2007 full-length LP will make you weak in the knees - a feeling I'm becoming all-to familiar with. "

"http://www.mediafire.com/?ddeimnmz4fm | So in two weeks, I'm shipping out from the amazing city of Boston to join Kate in Winter Park, CO. She is flying back to help load a truck and ship drive cross-country with me. It's the opposite of what I know and am used to. But it's the best move I'll have ever made. So "Give me your eyes, I need sunshine / Your blood / Your bones / Your voice / and your ghost / We've both been very brave / Walk around with both legs / Fight the scary day / We both pull the tricks out of our sleeves / but I'll believe in anything / and you'll believe in anything"

"http://www.mediafire.com/?3xqyzc1udiw | As I'm sure most of you have this song, it was one of the tracks we played on our prom soundtrack. And, oh yes, pictures are up. Kate has many, many, many more and I'm sure she'd love to share them with you when she gets them up. I'll be sharing some new tunes I found soon. Katie-did, I miss you, darling. Two weeks. http://www.flickr.com/photos/themalegoodbye/"

"http://www.mediafire.com/?3nzmdnvgtrm | Wow. Almost completely failed to mention, we're taking in the FR show tomorrow night at TT's. There, we will dance like a couple of Go-Go Girls and play the night away with some of my friends. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go clean my nest for a little birdie who is in flight. See you in a week, kids. =)"
Jun 29, 2008
"http://www.mediafire.com/?tgxqyjwxyny | In 30 hours, Kate's going to be here. And we will be, um, MIA for awhile. Not that any of you will miss us. And this song, well, it's actually, in this man's opinion, the best, simplest love song out there. It's not soft or lulling. It's not a lullaby. It screams from the mountain tops. It's passionate. It's simple. It's charged. It's how I feel. "My eager eyes came stumbling down
Over this pristine view / My second-rate poetry Just is not enough to describe you / I'm scrambling 'round the floor Looking for some fresh metaphor / All the words to describe this just do not exist, I feel better than ever before / I'm breathless and speechless, But still, there is so much to say / In words with one syllable / I love you." See you in a week. "
"http://www.mediafire.com/?xjln2jzbujo | What would a trip to Boston without a trip to the New England Aquarium to see not one, not two, but three different kinds of penguins. Sure, there are all kinds of other sealife this wonderful place has to offer, but this is the one that makes her the happiest. And that's what is important to me - her happiness. This delightful little song by a group of Electric Penguins puts a smile on my face just thinking about it - seeing her adoring these awkward little birds, a giant smile plastered across her face, that's what's most important. "

"http://www.mediafire.com/?zj3roez0odi | I was walking to an appointment early this morning, taking a more scenic route down Charles St. The Duck Tour was in full swing down, it's occupants taking in the history and quaintness.
Then I walked through the Public Garden
(http://images.google.com/images?client=safari&rls=en&q=boston+public+garden&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&um=1&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&resnum=1&ct=title)
letting the sweet scent of flowers filled my nose. So many birds from swans to ducks to swallows were out feeding and frolicking. The tourists voices were actually hushed, taking it all in. The swan boats were paddling quietly across the pond. Then up to Newbury St. past the shops nestled into the old architecture. It was about a 20 minute walk to and from Beacon Hill. All I wanted was to share it with her. I do like Boston, and I am so happy we'll get this time to spend exploring it together before we run like we're awesome, totally genius. "

"http://www.mediafire.com/?vtj1dvygrwf | Bongos, wooing, swinging elation. A foggy feeling of self-doubt that's been lifted away. The light, pure lyrics alone are enough to lift me. But before, it was an envious position I took. Now, all day afternoon, I love ya's. All day afternoon, let sun shine down. All day afternoon, taking things as the come and then so gently watching them go."
Jun 26, 2008
"http://www.mediafire.com/?jle0nksy4qm | Something else to look forward to: The 4th of July in Boston. Kate's a big fan of the celebration. And what better way to experience it than a blanket, some wine, food from street vendors, the Boston Pops, and explosions in the sky (not the band.) All set along the scenic Charles River, within a few minutes walking of our apartment. What a perfect way to spend a Friday night. It'll be a night to remember. "
Jun 25, 2008
"http://www.mediafire.com/?ixtzdoyxy8g | Ah. The 80s. Kate and I never got to have prom together. And while our week should be action-packed, one of the things I'm looking forward to most is staying in with her. Well, "staying in." Since we didn't get to live that ridiculousness together, we're taking our ridiculousness now and going back in time: high school date night. We're going to see a movie, get cheap food, then having a dance in the apartment; complete with streamers, the alternative pop music that shaped the times, wine coolers we will chug at at the park next door, and, more than likely, a make-out session. I have never met anyone so amazing as her. You may now proceed to throw up. ""
Jun 24, 2008
"http://www.mediafire.com/?0jwi1ch1vkj | So the countdown until Kate gets here for extended holiday is coming to a close. A week from now, the Colorado Snowbird will have my hand in hers and we'll be walking down Newbury Street, or through the Common, or down Charles oblivious to everything around us, a few hours from seeing Frightened Rabbit at TT's. We have a week of things planned, from a prom date night, to the Boston Pops and fireworks, to the aquarium (penguins) to a duck tour. The list is long, and this might be one of the last times we're in Boston. Seeing as I've moving to Colorado in a couple months. "

"http://www.mediafire.com/?amwtbnxytcj | I've been going through an Adam Ant phase. Why? Because his Stuart Goddard's early stuff with The Ants was amazing. He blurred the lines between punk and pop, creating music with an edgy attitude, taking simple sounds and making rich music. Plus, the man can flat out belt it out. Bonus: The Young Knives covering this same song: http://www.mediafire.com/?nlx9g1tyyff"

"http://www.mediafire.com/?wxgddglvz1s | A perfect song for today. Birds are singing, breeze in the air, sun is shining, ukuleles are playing, bass drums are booming, and Nick Stumpf is crooning. "

"http://www.mediafire.com/?aexneyljwxt | Dreamy. Subtly dramatic. Soothing. Heartwarming. And, as an amendment, one of the most adorable videos I've ever seen. (She turned me into a softie. Shut it.)

"http://www.mediafire.com/?vxwlcznicml | Well do you know where you belong? And is your star sign ever wrong? A blast from my past, come back to happily pose some questions. This time, I know the answers. "
Jun 11, 2008
"http://www.mediafire.com/?yfxvwjqxext | Part pop, part psychedelic, these Chapel Hill, Carolina kids have a great sound. The draw on a throw-back sound while going after something fresh and new. And when Amanda Brooks asks if you "can dig it," you will almost unconsciously shout back "yah!" "
"http://www.mediafire.com/?dytmnvmj8iw | South is one of the most underrated bands out there right now. Yes, they've had some label and media difficulties which have slowed down what should've been a skyrocket shot. So this little gem of a band has jumped from label to label, tweeking their sound with each album, but never losing their soul. Their latest, "You Are Here," was released in April by Bluhammock Records. I haven't listened as much as I'd like to. In fact, I probably don't listen to South as much as I'd like to. But I will say this: each time I do, I wish I had. They move through songs with a sweet, insightful touch that leaves me wanting more. I've gone so far as to put this song on a very special mix for a little snowbird. "

"http://www.mediafire.com/?rxttynecnwu | With a delicate sound, a plucking guitar, a harmonizing keyboard, and a soft voice, this song screams at a whisper, begging for the chance. "
