Here is the truth: I swear I was fun.

I have just downloaded my pre-order of Kathleen Edwards' new album Voyageur and I am so excited to listen to it. Everything I've heard about it so far makes me suspect excellence. Actually, I've just skimmed one positive review. Mainly, I know it will be good because she's one of my favourite artists, and this album was co-produced by Justin Vernon (Bon Iver). Collaboration between two of my favourite musicians? Yes, please.

I've been listening to the song Change the Sheets for months. I first heard it when Jason and I caught a surprise show by Kathleen at the Dakota Tavern in the summer. It was up on iTunes shortly there after, and I have listened to it seventy times since then (thanks iTunes for counting my obsessive listening habits). It's one of my favourite running songs, actually.

Anyway, I came across the video tonight and decided to share it here. I watched it once and it's got a lot of my favourite things in it: shows, cities, road trips, and Jim Bryson.



She's also playing tomorrow night on Letterman, and responsibilities be damned, I may rock it like I'm in university and stay up late to watch someone I like on Letterman. Or I'll wait to find it on the internet the next day, we'll see.

Off I go to listen now.

ps I finished The Night Circus on time. It was brilliant.

Wow. Letterman. Good on Kathleen for trying to make it outside the walls of CanCon.

You've left a groove in your iTunes listening to that song! Imagine, one day people won't understand that comment.

I have to take the time to check out all this music you are constantly raving about!
