songs to swim by

i think a day at cultus lake would be perfect right now... today at 5. until then, this is what i am listening to these days- the music that is sailing my metaphorical sailboat across a metaphorical ocean.

You will be happy to know, i'm listening to a lot of Canadian stuff these days.

Great Lake Swimmers
- a very chill folk band, from Toronto.

Phillip LaRue
-this guys not Canadian. but, you will fall in love with his emotion filled voice instantly.

Armchair Cynics
-these guy are from victoria. they have a lot of "run around and shout" hooks. very fun.

Chris Ay
er
-also not Canadian, but whatever. This guy has songs that are perfect for a day beside some water, or a day wishing you were beside some water.

The Stills
-a pretty half decent act from Montreal, with a "crappy band" sounding name. interesting.

and finally, from the British side of life- Badly Drawn Boy
-another misleading name. i thought this would be pop-punk, but its actually more on the folk-rock side of things. i like it.

happy listening, friends.

at first, i was sad when i went to read this 'cause i thought "oh, they're having summer fun together and i am far away in the land of no decent water-filled areas!" but then i was happy because it was metaphorical/hypothetical and i felt involved because i could imagine i was there, but then i read jamison's comment and looped back to sad that i'm missing out. i'm still probably going to imagine i'm going. and you guys can also pretend i'm there: jamison, you can say something you imagine i'd say in a situation and adam, you can say "oh, shaina.." and shake your head like you've know how silly i am for years. or not. but i'd be happy if you did.

maybe me and karl and graeme will hang out. umm. probably not though.
