Spring is here

Sorry for the belated post today, I've been busy with classes and such all day.

After reviewing my past posts, I've realized that I talk about the weather quite frequently. This is in part due to the fact that when I look for inspiration I tend to look out the window (in spite of my horrendous view of nothing), and in part because weather is such a relevant topic in Ithaca. However, I've done to death that topic and will try my best to avoid it (as much fun as beating a dead horse can be).

Spring is truly here. Flowers are blooming, leaves are growing, the weather is... irrelevant, and everyone just has that happy spring feel. I have not recommended any music recently, so I have decided to do so today.

Spring music is by

Upbeat, happy bliss.

Spring music, to me, is music which makes you happy. Makes you dance. Makes you want to run outside and soak in the sun. To me, this means fun and upbeat blissful music. To find that, look no further than Hey Marseilles.

Hey Marseilles is a Seattle based band, and I absolutely love a few of their songs. My favorite is probably "Rio," which you can see a video of here. A bunch of others are great too ("To Travels and Trunks" and "From a Terrace" are notable). To me, these guys are fantastic for Spring. Upbeat, optimistic and just plain fun. So give them a listen, and/or buy their CD.

The post title is a general statement, but in my case it's a reference to Tom Lehrer's "Poisoning Pigeons in the Park" (another fantastic Spring song.
