Expanding the Range

This past week was a week off from school. I love being able to get away from campus and out into the real world again every so often. One of the best things about being home I find is seeing my friends and what they have been doing, movies they've seen or new music they are listening to. Being here in Houghton the radio doesn't get any reception and I don't spend a whole lot of time searching for music online. Most of the new stuff I hear comes from friends.
When I was home over this last break, not only did I listen to the radio and hear new music on TV, I got music from friends. One of the artists I discovered over break is Missy Higgins. An Aussie artist who is absolutley incredible. Her style is really laid back and her lyrics are amazingly deep and life applicable.
I love the lyrics that I hear and go...."wow, I wish I had written that." Not all of her music falls under that category, but some of it is great. Very poetic. If you like laid back, acoustic amazing-ness. Check out Missy Higgins
