Music and Friends

Although I find a lot of music on my own, I feel even more excited about discovering new bands if the introduction came from friends. More importanly, I think it is a wonderful thing to have friends who know so much about music and we can converse about it and/or go to shows together. I'm just thinking about music today because there is a crap load of shows coming around D.C. and Richmond that has gotten me very excited. Many of these bands, remind me of my friends who either introduced me to the artist(s) or vice versa. So when I think about all of the up coming shows I'm going to in the up coming weeks, I think of my friends who got me into these bands and thank them. You know who you are.
M. Ward

Great Lake Swimmers
Thao and the Get Downs

Here is a song that I'm digging which may be something new or something old to you:
