"Come Away With Me" by Norah Jones

I don't have a ton of time to post today because I'm on a mission to get a lot of work done on writing some papers...so this will be short and sweet.  Yesterday was a bummer with blogging because I wrote a whole blog about "The Strokes" and then when I went to put a video of the song on the blog the live music was all so bad that they got yanked from the SOTD list and probably wont return anytime soon.  If you can't play live, don't waste our time as music lovers and go get a normal job... right? That might be harsh, but since they're rich, famous, and don't care what I think I'm sure they'll be fine.

I'm not really sure why, but for some reason Norah Jones always reminds me of the holidays.  I don't have a Christmas album by her, I don't know if she has ever made one, but there is something very warm, simple, and heartfelt in her music that makes me think of the holidays.

I'm in Starbucks working today and it is clear that we are in the holiday season. The store is all decked out in Christmas gear, my cup is red with snowflakes, and I almost went with the Christmas Blend today instead of my regular Americano. I didn't change, but I love Christmas and I love coffee so it was tempting.  I'm also pretty pumped for a little early thanksgiving celebration at my place tomorrow. So, the holiday season is here, and Norah is the hit.  Because I have a problem buying music, I'm a product of a commercialized culture, and I'm listening to Norah Jones right now, I'm gonna stop writing this and go buy her album that has been staring at me from the cash register all morning.

Have a good day, I feel like a really legitimate SOTD blog is coming soon.
