I heart my iPod

Here is what has been playing most on my iPod lately:

Takk | Sigur Ros


A haunting album by this Icelandic band. I listen to it most while I'm reading in a busy place. The videos are inspiring as well (as I've posted about before).








Transatlanticism | Death Cab For Cutie


I have come to adore Death Cab For Cutie. They have some great tunes that get stuck in your head... some of my faves from this album: Title and Registration, and The Sound of Settling.







Plans | Death Cab For Cutie

The newest Death Cab album... becoming a quick favorite.










Clap Your Hands Say Yeah | Clap Your Hands Say Yeah


A new indie band - the album is fun and sounds raw which is refreshing. I get to see them live at the end of next month, as well as The Brunettes (also a fun band).







Life In Slow Motion | David Gray

This album I love to play when I'm in a contemplative mood... though for some reason my dog absolutely hates this album - seriously, she doesn't care about anything I listen to except for this... when she hear's David Gray's voice, she gets frightened and starts pacing... weird. But a great album besides that!






Illinoise | Sufjan Stevens


This has becoming, hands down, my favorite album of this past year... even above Coldplay and U2. It's fresh, fun, and full of talent. I recommend getting this album at once!







The Relevant Podcast | Relevant Magazine

I wait expectantly for this podcast every week - they talk about movies, music, and culture, and have great interviews with people like Don Miller and Derek Webb.

Paste Culture Club Podcast | Paste Magazine

If you like indie bands - you definately should listen to this podcast. They spotlight several up and coming independent bands and often play entire songs so you can get an idea if you'd like to hear more. They also talk about culture and movies - mostly focusing on grassroots projects. It's pretty sweet.
