thought i’d list out a few finds that i’ve enjoyed this month.

5. mustaches- here’s why i think the mustache was created in the month of march. we all know that coming out of februhairy one needs a less drastic facial hair option than just clean shaven. the mustache provides just that. its halfway between februhairy, and clean shavenapril. it’s mustache march. here’s my own attempt at mustache march, in early february.

4. needtobreathe. this album actually came out in late august…but i just found out about these guys a few weeks ago….so for me its a march find.

i’m a huge fan of intro/editorial songs at the beginning of cd’s and the heat (their 2nd on atlantic) has a great one. these guys have such a great melodic ability….easy to hear on songs like signature of Divine (Yahweh), or restless. they have a really epic sound kind of like coldplay in that way….and Bear Rinehart voice really is amazing. the 14 songs are 9.99 on itunes…so save up and get the whole album…you won’t be disappointed.

3. Erykah Badu. yet another selection that didn’t actually release in march…but i first heard about her a few weeks ago…so she’s in. Erykah’s latest CD New
is the kind of cd that needs a couple of listens before its understood. If any of you have any thoughts on her music i’d love to hear them. again i think i’m a bit late in the game on her stuff…but have enjoyed what i’ve heard.

2. Paste magazine new layout. i’ve been a big paste fan for a number of years now, and a subscriber for 2. so i was so happy that they gave it a new look. not that the old was bad…but its like seeing your wife in a new dress…same hot wife, great new dress. great combination.

1. this is going to be the greatest let down in all top 5 history. i planned on talking about sigur ros’ new documentary/movie called heima….which the band released on youtube on march 7th. i guess i didn’t realize that they would take it down…so now you’ll have to wait for the official release of the dvd. i found this quote about the film on their site..

‘heima’ is sigur rós’s first ever film, filmed over two weeks last summer when the band undertook a series of free, unannounced concerts in iceland. they hauled 40-plus people round 15 locations to the furthest flung corners of their homeland for their debut venture into live film, to create something, well, inspirational.

the movie feels like their music….ethereal and epic. such a good way to spend 90ish minutes.

well there they are…top 5. hope you enjoyed.
