stoke with words you say and the way you say them

Another 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.

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. :(
