Music Wednesday

Two Blogs in one night. It's kind of crazy, eh? Hey now, it's about music...I think this is a topic I can explore endlessly. Anyway. Here's Music Wednesday for you. A friend and I decided to trade iPods for the week. The idea came about quite brilliantly, if you ask me. We kept telling each other about sweet bands/artists that the other needed to listen to. And we kept trying to play music for each other. But there were just too darn many good songs to be played. So, it just came to us (I don't actually remember whose idea it was, so I'm going to give us both credit). We decided to trade iPods and explore eachother's music tastes for the week. Let me just say I've discovered some lovely new artists. First, here are the list of songs that randomly shuffled through the iPod on Monday.
