Tyler Hunt

Oddly enough, I think my musical tastes have been changing a lot over the last couple weeks. If I had heard Death Cab for Cutie a month ago, I might have been slightly entertained, but not willing to claim them as my own. Since then, I’ve expanded my library to include their Transatlanticism album, as well as the most recent releases from Bright Eyes and the Postal Service. A big thanks goes out to Erin for introducing me to the Postal Service. This collarboration between Death Cab’s lead singer Ben Gibbard and Jimmy Tamborello, which merges the smooth emo lyrics of Death Cab with a subtle electronic beat, placing it into the fringe of a genre known as IDM.

When I started this post earlier today, I had no idea where it was going. But Erin came through again and lent me her collection of the best CDs ever, so I will have ample new music for many days to come. She truly is the coolest chicken ever.
