I did a guest blog for my dear friend, Rachel, today. You can read my post here (link). It's a part of her 'Love Notes' series for February. If you're into that sort of thing, take a look.

I was not aware that there was a documentary about David Lynch. It appears that it was made in 2007. Did everyone else know about this but me? It also looks like there are two parts to it... I'm just finding this tonight. Here are some stills from (one):
That just made my night. Here's a little Valentine that Elsie made with a sketch of David Lynch on it. Side note- you know you've found the girl of your dreams when she puts David Lynch's face on her Valentines...
Thanks for reading.

I try to stay away from doing actual "reviews" on here. I think it's a little bit ridiculous for me to make public to everyone the idea that "I don't approve of this and that". If they didn't approve of me, I'd prefer that they keep those comments to themselves as well.
So, what am I listening to now that my commitment to Pet Sounds has expired? (I still listen everyday, and love every note of it...) I've gone from Beach Boys to Beach House. It's a duo I recently learned about from a friend. It's haunting and beautiful. Watch this video:
In other news, I've started working with a dear friend of mine named Elly Swope. She's a very talented singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist. She's been taking some video each night, so I'll ask her to send some to me soon.
Thanks for reading!

It's a pretty rare occasion that I get to actually listen to This American Life. In case you've never heard of it, it's a radio show that plays on NPR. I'm not certain, but I don't believe that it actually airs on our local station here in Springfield. I typically just catch it if I'm on a long road trip. It really is one of the most fascinating radio shows ever made.
This is the host, Ira Glass:
I recently found out that they actually made this into a tv show on Showtime. I immediately signed up for Netflix, and started season one. Here is the trailer:
If you haven't seen an episode yet, it's worth your time. You have to have a little bit of patience though, most stories start out as being strikingly common and normal. That's what makes the show so magical; they are telling old stories from such a fresh point of view.
Thanks for reading.

He has the best style. Watch and learn...
My girlfriend has a crush on him and so do I.

Sometimes it's really overwhelming to me how giving complete strangers can be. If I'm being honest, I can't think of that many things that I do for the sake of others. However, I am confronted- almost on a daily basis- with the fact that there are genuine people out there that are doing simple things with a kind heart, that benefit me. There are people that send me encouraging emails, take pictures at shows, and record audio/video of shows to send to me. So, let me just say thank you to everyone who has been doing so.
One of those wonderful people is Mark Kennedy . He recorded some audio from a show recently and sent me the files. I should mention a couple of things here: 1. I was doing an acoustic show, and I'm really not much of a guitar player. 2. Many of the songs that night were by request. Both "Goodnight" and "The Sound Of Snow" were kind of impromptu acoustic versions. So go easy on me....
Thanks Mark!Another one of these gracious people is Jeffery Ward. He sent me a DVD full of pictures from a show at Gordon College. Thanks Jeffery, these are great.
That's all I have for now. Thanks for reading!

This is a good memory.
Today Elsie is having a 'blog party'. We did a His&Her post about Valentine Gift Ideas together. Link Here These are a few albums I enjoy. Vinyl is always a good gift, I think.
I'll be posting some new photos soon. Right now it's time to get coffee. Have a good day, Jeremy
