{photo from j'adore}Happy Easter Weekend!! here is a little mix of some of my favorite music which I think is fitting for this particular holiday. it's mostly sufjan stevens, a bit of sigur ros, and a couple other things.
a word about sufjan's song "woman at the well"...
this song brings back great memories for me. when i was a freshman in college, one of my good friends john ringhofer {who is half-handed cloud} came home from signing a record deal with asthmatic kitty and told us all about this guy who also signed a record deal on the same day. yup, it was sufjan and the song john brought back to us was woman at the well. that song was never actually supposed to be released to the public, but we spread the song around our little group of friends like wildfire. years later that song brings back all the happy memories of being a hippy christian college kid, playing in the grass barefoot, and celebrating with john over his new professional musical endeavors. john often tours with sufjan as his trombonist and does lots of his own shows, especially in the bay area. i highly recommend seeing him in concert - it's like nothing you've ever experienced!

i hope you all have an amazing easter weekend full of sunshine and laughter and edible goodies and love!

ReplyDeletehappy easter to you too!! ;) im leaving the city this weekend and kinda excited to get away!
ReplyDeletei saw half-handed cloud years ago. the main singer preformed in a giant tree costume with jingle bells attached to his leaves. awesome. they were opening for sufjan at a concert at a local college (one of the 5 or 6 times i've seen sufjan... my favorite being right after he released 'greetings from michigan' and was playing at a teeny tiny coffee shop. there were about 30 of us packed in, and it was amazing.)
ReplyDeletei think we'd be great friends if we were to meet. just sayin'.
Happy Easter, Kim! Hope it's marvellous!
