My ipod didn’t stray far from the “m” section today. We listened to Muse in the car today, AND the weather was so sunny and hot that we had the windows down with the warm air blowing on us while we drove. Muse is one of those bands that is exactly what you needed no matter what kind of mood you are in. They totally rock, the lyrics are interesting, sometimes it sounds like there is an orchestra playing with them, and the vocals are amazing. There is so much emotion filled into those words as they come out at you, and I love this: the guy is singing so hard that he has to take these deep breaths and just keep going (its not like they are really loud, its just one of the many details that make this band so dang cool). Later in the house, we listened to the indie band Mae. I was first drawn to Mae because I really like the singers voice, and the more I listen to them, the more I like them. For the most part they are fairly mellow, but certainly not boring.

I so enjoy a guys voice that can get up high, carry beauty and emotion, and rock all at the same time.

So a little Muse in the car, a lot of Mae when we got home, and then my husband played Muse tonight while I was ironing and he was doing some work and I didn’t even ask him to put something else in because I had already listened to them. Plus I got a little sunburn in the back yard playing with the hose on the trampoline ( with my kids of course). I would say we had a pretty good day.
