Spare-Ohs

Another nice word play by the amazing Andrew Bird. Just watch.




I will never ever tire of Andrew Bird.

Put the Lights on the Tree

Here is a pretty funky video by Sufjan Stevens to get one and all into the Christmas cheer! haha

Youtube find

If you ever doubt that youtube is a valid place to find great musicianship, then listen to this guy I randomly found....






Staffan Svahn - Bubblin'

Gorillaz -- Demon Days (Live)

Funky art work + great song = strange fascination

Perseverance

"People of mediocre ability sometimes achieve outstanding success because they don't know when to quit. Most men succeed because they are determined to." George E. Allen

"Perseverance is more prevailing than violence; and many things which cannot be overcome when they are together, yield themselves up when taken little by little." Plutarch

"If I had to select one quality, one personal characteristic that I regard as being most highly correlated with success, whatever the field, I would pick the trait of persistence. Determination. The will to endure to the end, to get knocked down seventy times and get up off the floor saying. "Here comes number seventy-one!" Richard M. Devos

Ecclesiastes 9:10, "Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the grave, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom."

The First Snowflake

Of the quirky indie bands out there, one of my favorite is The Boy Least Likely To. They have created quite a neat winter song and video.

St. Anne's Reel

I do have to say that thanks to my momma and growing up in Elkins. I will forever love folk/acoustic/bluegrass music.
