sOUNDTRACK tO mY lIFE (March 2007)

Every month I put together a mix cd consisting of the music I had been listening to over the previous 30 days. As the years and months have gone by I’ve really enjoyed looking back at bands and the songs I was listening to.

Over the month of March 2007 I really enjoyed listening to Brett Dennen. A very chill singer/songwritter from California’s Central Valley. I loved almost every song on his 2006 release So Much More. The other band that really stuck in my head this month was Beirut. Back in December I had included a couple of songs in my cd mix which got substantial play counts on my iTunes. For this month I started listening to their new EP Lon Gisland which contains the amazing song Elephant Gun.
