"Leather Jacket."

nobody@vox.com(Joie) — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 00:20:36 -0500

This song basically epitomizes everything I love about Ben Folds Five. I'd love to upload it for you, but I can't seem to locate the CD that has it--to the best of my knowledge, it was only released on a CD called No Boundaries: A Benefit for th...

Travis; Travel; Trillions of cats.

nobody@vox.com(Joie) — Mon, 06 Aug 2007 23:53:00 -0500

And now it's time for an excellent band: Travis. I'm much too lazy to bother posting a thoughtful, well-worded description of the band and their style. I'm even too lazy to post a sample song. But I'm not too lazy to tell you I dig this band v...

Live from Dallas/Ft. Worth, Part 2

nobody@vox.com(Joie) — Sun, 25 Mar 2007 15:48:08 -0500

Another three hour layover, another period of gratefulness to Vista for supplying me with free Internet to pass the time, but this time no giddy, impatient excitement to get where I'm going. Joie is reluctantly returning to the real world again....

I said yep, what a concept; I could use a little fuel myself and we could all use a little change.

I've been a bit moody lately, and though this week certainly hasn't been terrible, it hasn't exactly been the best one of the year so far. This, combined with my realization that I had some spare cash (which has become increasingly rare lately), ...

Signs I'm Slightly Off Right Now:

nobody@vox.com(Joie) — Fri, 22 Dec 2006 02:43:10 -0600

I'm singing the main theme of "Hoe-Down" from Copland's Rodeo to these words: "I want some beef! Yes, I'd really like some beef. Would you like SOME beef, 'cause I'd really like some beef right now." It's... obnoxious. COPLAND... It's what's ...

In my life--I love you more.

My friend Ashton and I were practicing for our upcoming coffee-shop performance when she mentioned a song she had heard on The Wonder Years called "In My Life." I decided to check my iPod, as it's full of random older songs I don't know about (I...

"If I stray too far from you, don't go on--try to find me."

nobody@vox.com(Joie) — Sun, 22 Oct 2006 21:43:25 -0500

In putting off homework, I decided to dig through some of my Ben Folds that I rarely listen to. I found a nugget off of Songs for Goldfish that I love--"Side of the Road." A little research revealed that this is actually a cover of a Lucinda Wi...

Who knew?

nobody@vox.com(Joie) — Sat, 14 Oct 2006 00:29:42 -0500

I've been on a definite pop music kick as of late (which simultaneously makes me feel bad about myself and guilty for feeling bad about it... screw the definitions of "good" music). But tonight has brought a pleasant surprise! So, I randomly got...

It's opera time, baby.

nobody@vox.com(Joie) — Fri, 22 Sep 2006 01:02:33 -0500

It's 12:41am, and I have a listening exam in about ten hours. I'm completely unprepared! Such is life. This entry is to gush about what I'm currently listening to. I so rarely get to sit down and enjoy opera, but as my music history class is c...

On a clear day, I can see, see a very long way.

nobody@vox.com(Joie) — Mon, 18 Sep 2006 23:41:18 -0500

Music that I happen to find particularly moving lately: "Waiting for My Real Life to Begin" off Colin Hay's previously mentioned album Going Somewhere. I didn't realize it, but I first heard this song performed on an episode of Scrubs by one of ...
