Musical Timeline

There are certain bands or albums I associate with certain periods of my life - sort of like a musical timeline. If you tell me the name of a band or a specific album, I could tell you where in my life I was. Of course there are the bands that I listened to all throughout college, but these are the bands or albums that directly correlate with these certain periods. Here's a brief synopsis of my college career.

Freshman year it was Pedro the Lion and Eisley. All Pedro albums released then, and the one album that Eisley had out at the time.

Sophomore year was Sufjan Stevens and Death Cab for Cutie, with a little Hem thrown in. Thank you, Danny McMacken for that introduction.

Junior year I was still really into Hem, but started listening to Jenny Lewis (from Rilo Kiley) and the Bright Eyes album, "Noise Floor." Those albums are especially meaningful to me because I didn't have internet in my apartment second semester last year and my only past time was to listen to music.

This summer was most definitely Ryan Adams - every album (except Rock and Roll), but specifically Easy Tiger. Seriously, every time I listen to it I imagine myself driving downtown in horrible traffic to work at the ice cream parlor and thanking God that I had an MP3 player that worked in my car.

First semester this year I was still heavily influenced by Ryan Adams - especially the album Jacksonville City Nights. But after starting to date Curtis, Bright Eyes became an integral part of my life. And still is.

The end.
