Music and such

Ok, so no more ranting for a while about idiotic men (boys).

I think we should chat about the excellence of Bruce Springsteen's new album Devils and Dust (link on the right). I ADORE it! I think I have listened to it about a hundred times now, and am nowhere near tiring of it. The music is haunting with lyrics that make a point without slamming you over the head with it. I get the tune in my head can't get away from it, both in an annoying "song-stuck-in-your-head" sort of way, and in an intellectual, "wow, what-a-way-to-word-that" sort of way. It has elements of hope, and rebirth, but also desperation, fear and loneliness. I feel like I can listen to it in any mood. Although I think my favortie way is with the windows down, sun roof open, driving 80 down the interstate, singing at the top of my lungs. Of course, this is done with no one else in the car.

I'm also really liking The Duhks, Cross Canadian Ragweed, and Kasey Chambers right now. If you're into folk/bluegrass/americana/or celtic music, check them out.
