I've decided to split this up into 2 parts because I think it will help me get back into the swing of writing more frequently. Before I get to exciting past stories, I do want to catch you up on the music.

Zach's Notes
1. They've been hitting me hard lately. Very talented folks!
4. Yeah, I don't know why people name things so weirdly sometimes.
6. The Killers frontman scores another pretty good number.
7. They're Back!
10. Just a sexy song
12. He took some of Nick Hornby's poetry and set it to music for his new album. It makes for some sometimes disjointed lyrics/unusual phrasing. This is the best song I've heard yet.
13. The B-Side to the essential "Fuck You"
14. This guy just knows how to write calm, subtle acoustic pop stuff
15. A nice sort of throwback song
18. I am absolutely in love with this girl's voice
21. Pretty sure she's rocking the mandolin. And it is sweet!
