Hey all! So... this is kinda awkward. I threw a less than dignified fit (which worked, by the way) and the views and comments abounded. But then I kinda felt silly for crying like a little girl... I thought, maybe if I could pretend it didn't happen but that doesn't give y'all the credit you deserve for your efforts and so I guess I'll just say a huge THANK YOU! (get it? cuz it's in caps?... he he... nervous laughter) and leave it at that. Also, I apologize for my absence in the past weeks. I was attempting to cram an entire term's worth of work into 2 weeks. I appreciate your patience. On to the music!
So, I don't have too much time today because it's the first day of Summer Term so here's some songs I've been keeping handy for a quick post. Some are suggestions from y'all and some are ones I stumbled across but the common theme is they're ALL NEW...ish (I think). Enjoy!
Without You, Tonight You Belong to Me- Jerry & Erin suggested Eddie Vedder's new album of Ukulele songs but didn't give specifics, so I picked the two I liked the best... hope I didn't pick the worst ones ;)
Shark Fighter- The Aquabats (Kinda silly but REALLY catchy)
The Ballad of Mona Lisa- Panic! at the Disco (not normally a fan but again, really catchy)
With You Around- from Yellowcard's new album. Suggested by Garrett.
Every Teardrop is a Waterfall- Coldplay's newest single!!! (more than a little excited for this album to come out...)
That's it! Give 'em a listen and pass 'em on! You guys ROCK!! ;)

Grab Bag of Random-ness!!
I apologize for this not being "Sharing Time 2" like I said last time but I really try to give suggestions a good listen and I haven't gotten to all of them just yet and I'm musically against just throwing something on here last minute/ without any effort.
Also, there's been a recent trend that we need to discuss. Have a seat. This will only take a second.... *breathes in heavily*... participation is down. BIG time. Now, I don't expect every post to be everyone's favorite every time (but I actually kinda do;) and it's okay if you don't feel like taking a second to shoot me a suggestion (for those who have, this doesn't apply to you because I'm inexplicably grateful and I'm listening to them slowly but Shirley ;) because I like sharing and writing about the stuff I already know. I have faith in you guys and that y'all will warm up to the whole "sharing-my-music-with-Matt-so-he-can-find-new-stuff-too" idea eventually. BUT, according to my figure (yes, I actually have A single number to support this... that number being zero) NO ONE is reading this.
The Newton Faulkner post back in March has been the most viewed so far (for which I thank you profusely) but these last two posts have been virtually ignored (get it? like a computer?). Where did I go wrong? What can I do to make it up to you? Was it the Cars? I know they're 80's... I apologize! I'm sorry! I want to hear from you! What makes you view Newton Faulkner over 150 times and then stop altogether? Was he just THAT awesome and now you never need to listen to anything ever again? Please... SPEAK TO ME!! Take me back! I promise I'll do better!!! :( I put a sad face on there so you'd know I'm sincere.
That being said, here's a desperate attempt to play something y'all will like. These are a bunch of songs where I've already posted about or probably won't bother with a post solely about that band but still like the one song. I tried to get a little of everything in here. PLEASE LIKE IT... and (by extension) MY BLOG! ;)
Desperate pleas aside, here's the music! ;)
Opportunity- Catch 22
Gravity- Intercept (I LOVE this one... so should you)
Little Girl- The Daylights (friends with Switchfoot I believe...)
The World Turned Upside Down- Coldplay
Monsoon- Jack Johnson
This Is Him- Virginia Coalition
The Story- Brandi Carlile
Fortune & Fame- The K.G.B.
Roll to Me- Del Amitri
And just in case I was right about Newton Faulkner being all you need in life: Enjoy! and Share!!
