Me: That’s because you are a child.

and yeah, acoustic folk rock is a good name for it! I tend to bunch it all under a “neo-folk/bluegrass/americana” umbrella
anyway, i hope you find some new songs you like :)))
Yes, thank you! ^_^

i’ve never heard of newcomer’s home, but this first song that came up when i googled them is evoking feelings of sixpence none the richer, but, like, if alanis morissette were lead singer, which i am Very here for.
This is probably my favorite song of theirs. I have a live album that is maybe one of my favorite albums ever. I listened to it a lot when I was college (which was when they already broke up, but it got me through a lot of good and bad times). EDIT: Ohhhh, this is the first song off the live album. It’s a great album. EDIT EDIT: oh man the mandolin on this part I just *cries* and then the dueling violin and mandolin on Texas! So good.
They probably weren’t that popular, tbh, except in the local college circuit, but my mentor while I was in high school (she was in college) really loved them and introduced me to them and, well, I guess she was a good mentor. :p
You should look up Katie Herzig! She was the lead singer and now has a bunch of her own albums. She passes through town on tours occasionally and I always say I’ll go but never remember or realize until it’s too late.
idk if you’re still on the computer, since you posted an hour ago, but if you are (and even if you’re not), I was wondering what some of your favorite musical acts are? In that vein, I remember you mentioned in a post once that you like Sarah Jarosz, so if you need something to kill time in the background, I just wanted to suggest the oh hellos, carolina chocolate drops/rhiannon giddens, and the milk carton kids (who’ve performed with sarah before, actually!)
These sound like the kind of music I will probably like so I’m answering publicly so I don’t forget later.
Although *sheepish grin* I had to google Sarah because I was like, “ummm I like who?” but I am terrible with names and I can’t tell you how many times I will Shazaam the same song but let’s just say it is A LOT because I will never remember. Sooooo… I apparently can’t remember what I like from her so that’s something for me to explore later.
HOWEVER in high school I was super into what I’ll label as “acoustic folk rock.” It’s still one of my favorite genres and when I’m in a funk, I just need to play some Newcomer’s Home and everything is right with the world (they are still one of my favorite groups even though they no longer exist, boo-hoo, but Katie Herzig is still creating music so that’s good).
Anyway, one of the groups I really loved at that time was Nickel Creek, and it looks like Sarah has worked with/toured with a couple of the members AND she plays the mandolin and that’s just awesome.
Side note, I taught myself how to play mandolin in high school and was getting pretty decent at it but then life happened along with my weak-ass attention span but I still have my mandolin and maybe one day I’ll pick it up again. Maybe. One day.
Watching TGW, transfixed by Yoo Ji Tae and Yoon Kye Sang in the same room together, forgets to take screencaps.
Can’t remember I’d you said, but are you going to check out, or have you already checked out W? I’m really enjoying it so far.
I plan to, eventually.
But no new dramas until I’m caught up on the ones I’ve been watching.
On the computer trying to catch up on stuff when I couldn’t because it was dead, so if anyone wants to stop by and say “hi” or chat, feel free to be friendly. ^_^
I’m sorrynotsorry that I haven’t been around as much and/or posting drama stuff because I genuinely haven’t had much time to watch dramas (I’m at least three weeks behind on most things, two weeks on Squad 38!) or pay attention to any news.
Besides now that The Good Wife is airing I have no reason to stalk the entertainment news anyway.
But y’know I did find time to squeeze in four showings of Ghostbusters but shhhh let’s not be logical about how I waste my life.
Apparently sometime since my laptop stopped working until now tumblr borked my theme for no good reason?
I’ve reverted it but have no idea how that happened in the first place.
