i chose the happy bug

song of the day:

1. You Are What You Love by Jenny Lewis & the Watson Twins
i don't see how anything could get better than combing jenny lewis with a set of harmonizing identical twins. the lyrics to this song are very deep and quintessential jenny lewis, and the drumbeat is actually very interesting. the melodies spun by this trio are warm and inviting, no matter the theme of the song.

2. Gotta Have You by the Weepies
where do i start on this song? it's so "chill". deb talan has such a raw, unchiseled voice that it's almost rugged, but it's also remarkably warm. this song is everything related to bark-paper fires and cuddling.
The Weepies: Gotta Have You
3. Hide and Seek by Imogen Heap
the most accurate description i can give of this song is "ethereal". it sounds like fairy music, but in reality it was written about an alien invasion. the harmonies are beautiful. rarely do you find such tight harmonies in "popular" music. at first, this song scared the living daylights out of me; but it steadily grows on you.
