Maybe I’ll Be a Music Blogger When I Grow Up

Looks like I really want to talk about music with everyone.  Maybe I’ll rethink my career path and start doing this full time, which would be unfortunate since I’m about to take out $80,000 in loans for grad school.

The band Woods (everyone join Emusic and let me recommend you, ok?) is being hyped pretty heavily and for a fairly good reason.  Listening to their new album, Songs of Shame, makes me think of Bon Iver with a bigger band (or, I guess, if the band Bon Iver didn’t sound like one dude alone in his room).  My favorite track from the album so far is Gypsy Hand, the most upbeat and catchy song they’ve ever done:
