Man, talk about a cliffhanger! I have been holding this job information over your heads for soooo long! I really do want to devote a whole post to it, but since you have all been so patient and I have failed to post May's tracklist for WAY too long, here's the basics:
I have accepted a job in Glennallen, AK for next fall to teach EVERYTHING! K-12 music! Elementary, Band, Choir, High School Theater, and possibly a visual arts class. It is going to be amazing and scary and amazing and oh man!
However, I have made myself available for jobs in Boulder Valley. I narrowly missed getting the job I had been long-term subbing at for the past few months. However, the people who passed me over for that job endorsed me as their choice for an opening at the local middle school. That interview is Monday morning. Basically, if they offer me the job, I will have a terribly exciting decision to make. If not, it's North to Alaska!
More details about jobs, the end of school, and my Lake Michigan Circle Tour coming soon (I promise...I have a lot of time on my hands in the coming days). But for now, here's what you've been listening to:

Zach's Notes
2. Kate Nash is easily my favorite of the girl-led British invasion
3. These guys seem to be everywhere right now, but this riff-heavy tune is their best so far
4. As close to straight up rock as indie gets
6. I loved their debut album and am pumped after hearing this single
7. Replacing Diplomat's Son as my favorite track on the album
8. A Paul McCartney cover
12. Probably my favorite track on this album
14. I love her voice
15. The first song of the many by Matt Pond PA I have listened to that truly excites me
17. I saw them open for Frightened Rabbit
18. This song renews my hope for the sophomore Born Ruffians album
19. This girl has more talent in her little finger than I could ever hope for
20. An ode to Rogue Wave's past, but still off the new album
Hope you enjoy! Tell me what you think!
AK, eh? That's exciting! Thanks for sending the May CD way up here. I love the first song and all the female vocalists on this one. Good luck with the interview and any big decision-making. Say 'hi' to Trish for me.
