Therefore, in honor of the significant loss that the music industry has endured, I would like to devote this entry to moving forward musically. Progress, never forget.
On Day Thirteen I have bought Sarah Jarosz's new album Song Up In Her Head. I first heard her recently on the beloved All Things Considered on NPR. I was immediately drawn in by the lulling sound of her mandolin and that fresh, mountainy sound associated with all bluegrass. I'll be the first to admit guiltlessly that bluegrass [and any/all of its musical tributaries] is incredible. In any case, this album is beautifully crafted [by an 18 year-old, nonetheless]. Plus--if you haven't already been swayed--an added bonus: she covers The Decemberists. What could be better?

And I definitely recommend buying her album.
Pssst: Speaking of wonderful bluegrass-y musicians, look into Ben Sollee--an innovative cellist with a sweet voice and a big heart. http://www.bensollee.com/
