Currently listening to: Owl City and LIGHTS
New music on my iPod:
Owl City is 23 year-old Adam Young, from Minnesota. I can't post the music video for his song "Fireflies" (which was how I came to hear about him) up here coz embedding is disabled, but check it out. Also check out "Meteor Shower" and "Hello Seattle" on his latest offering, "Ocean Eyes."
LIGHTS is a 22 year-old from Ontario, Canada. Here's the music video for her song "Drive My Soul," from her EP. Her album is coming out next month.
And both are going on tour soon--unfortunately, I won't be able to catch either of them, but check out their tour schedules here: Owl City and Lights.

Back in a few
Tomorrow morning, I leave California, my home for the last three years, for Pittsburgh, where I'll be staying with Adam & Katie (and their fam) for a couple days, and hopefully catching up with Jordan.
Sunday, I'll drive down to DC, and start the internship on Tuesday. Once I'm settled in a little bit, I'll get back to posting more regularly.
Enjoy your weekend (when it gets here)!
