This is why I desperately need an ipod....

I am in the middle of a musical renaissance, mostly because last night I picked up the soundtrack to 'The Last Kiss' (opens tomorrow!!! Wohooooooo!!!). I love, love, LOVED the 'Garden State' soundtrack, and this is very much in the same vein.

So far, my 2 favorite songs on the album are Chocolate, by Snow Patrol (this is the song you hear during the radio and tv previews), and Paperweight by Joshua Radin and Schuyler Fisk. Chocolate has a line that I love: "This could be the very mintue/I'm aware I'm alive/All these places feel like home..." I get chills every time I listen to the song. And Schuyler Fisk has the kind of voice I would kill for. The first time I listened to Paperweight I thought about how cool it would be if I could sing like that and then the fiance and I could learn the song and be a traveling acoustic duo. But, considering my one and only performance experience resulted in a petrified and very off-key version of Box of Tissues (Disappear Fear), I don't forsee a music career with the fiance anytime soon (now, as for the fiance, that could be a very different story.....). In my defense though, I was practically forced onto that stage to sing harmony with Phil and anyone who knew me in 8th grade, knows the catastrophe that was the x-mas play duet in which I completely butchered the harmony part in 'Winter Wonderland'. I am harmony-handicapped. Then again, all of that was over a decade ago and I should really get over it.

Anyway, the bottom line is that this album rocks and you should all go buy it because it will make you happy. I guarantee it.:)

Oh, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!!!!
