Hey ya'll!!! :D So right now it is 29 degrees where I live! This weather is extremely rare and so basically everyone's panicking about ice on the road and the possibility of snow tonight that will also be there Friday. School's are planning to let out early today and canceled tomorrow! YAY!! Even though I'm wearing three shirts, two jackets, two pairs of tights, a skirt, but for some reason no socks, I am happy for this weather :) It's nice to have some kind of change in the weather. Oh! Ruth if you read this, I hope Poppy (doggy) feels better ):
Anywho! I have a cool band for you guys today :) I've been listening to them for a few months now and kept telling myself that I would mention them on here so I'm finally getting to it. The band of this week is The Daylights!

| Most recent album, The Daylights. |
I first heard about them while I was twitter (yes, I have one! You can find me as @its_jingletown if you want) and I follow a band member from Switchfoot who said that he really enjoyed this band. Their most recent album,
The Daylights, was released September 2010 and it's the album that made people start noticing them a bit more.
Their music is more about their words (or at least that's my opinion). Most of their lyrics are very poetic and beautiful. Not that their instrument technique doesn't matter! They play really well and use amazing instruments. I feel like they like to use the cello and violin as much as possible, which I really like. If you hear really closely to their track "Rogue Machine," they know how to incorporate the guitar really well with a nice, mellow tone of the cello. I wish I could get more tracks from them, but YouTube gives horrible quality on some of their songs since The Daylights aren't very popular yet. I'm really hoping I can find them in a store!
If you like bands like Switchfoot and The Fray, I really recommend this band! And as always, if you want a track, just let me know :)
Rant of the Week? I don't think I have a rant about anything today/this week. Oh, actually I do! It's very quick and short: Don't say that you/your community accept all people. It's a complete, hypocritical statement to say that about yourself or the people around you. Sure, after you get to know a person you think they're nice and cool, but it isn't like you've never seen a person who you thought was totally weird and never got near them because they were "different." I think I can fall into the "outsider" category sometimes...or maybe all the time...I don't really know how people see me, and I don't care XP Everyone (yes, it includes me) judges people no matter what.
That's all for today! Please try to stay warm and not get sick!
Because silence isn't always golden,
Leslie :P
