debsAnother easy one for Sunday. I remember picking up Sarah Harmer's You Were Here album on a whim my freshman year at University. At the time I was really starting to get into folk music in a big way and she fit perfectly. She's become my go-to Canadian artist; I like that she has a quirkier sound and I've always thought that her songs feel more like short stories than musical exercises.
Her latest album, OH Little Fire, dropped this past summer and I still don't know it that well as I've only done one straight listen through. It's definitely different from 2005's I'm a Mountain which was a journey into more the more bluegrassy side of folk. In Oh Little Fire, Harmer returns to her pop-ier folk sound, and on first listen-through I'd say that the album sounds more youthful than her others. I couldn't decide which song to upload, so you get two that happen to sound pretty similar.
"Captive" by Sarah Harmer (I like to dance around my room to this one)

PTL, TEAM GLEE IS GONE. The singing killed me with embarrassment squick. My four favorite teams were the first four tonight, and that made me happy. It was a really neat leg, I would've loved to have done the dog sled bit. Ugh, all of the couples are left. I dislike them all, mostly because all of the guys are complete dicks. Not looking forward to next week with the gross meat experience. :(

I feel like it needs to be really loud so you can just go crazy to it. *shifty eyes* IT'S TRICKY IS THE TITLE HERE WE GO!
I just feel like I've seen less than half of the seasons. I am deprived! And aggravated about it!

I've only seen about three seasons total, so you're still up on me. I wish they'd put them all on DVD so I could watch all the seasons. And own the one with the cowboys so I could hear them say "Oh my gravy" again. :P

OH MY GRAVY! ♥ ♥ ♥
Dude, I don't think this makes sense at all. ;P

I don't think so but only because reality tv doesn't seem to migrate to DVD the same way. LEMME CHECK. *amazons* OMFG YOU WERE RIGHT! THEY DOOOOOO! \o/ \o/ \o/ I am WAY too excited about this!!! *netflixes*
OH MY GRAVY! It was one of my favorite sayings that they had. They also used Oh Geez and Oh my goodness. Adorable.
Those are the best kinds of comments. ♥
