This week's playlist is filled with amazing music from all sorts of places that aren't America! I'm drawn to music from other cultures for many reasons; one being that I don't understand the language so the vocals become another instrument helping to create the emotion of the song. Also, I love seeing what instruments they incorporate that we tend to ignore (mostly). Very rarely do you come across an American band that writes music to be played on music boxes while using both an accordion and synths in the same song. Or maybe you'd like a little musical saw with your wind-up toys and plastic whistles? Well, today is your lucky day! Also, today my wife and I have been married for 11 years! That really has nothing to do with this playlist, but it's pretty amazing nonetheless and I'm thankful every day for an amazing wife who don't abhor my bizarre musical tastes. I love you, <a href="http://cupandpage.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Jen</a>! :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have a great weekend and go broaden your horizons!</div>

This week's playlist is dedicated to the memory of Polaroid film. I watched the documentary "<a href="http://timezeromovie.com/" target="_blank">Time Zero: The Last Year of Polaroid Film</a>", promptly went out and bought some <a href="http://www.fujifilm.com/products/instant_photo/films/fp_100c/" target="_blank">Fuji FP-100C</a> for my Mamiya and plan on shooting some (if not all) of it this weekend. Also, there are a ton of songs about Polaroid so it was kind of hard to narrow it down to 5 songs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have a fantastic weekend and take some pictures!</div>

Finally!!!! It's warming up enough to go to the beach and get out in the water! That's where you'll find me as often as I can get out there... I hope you make plans to get out and enjoy the outdoors this weekend, be it the beach, mountains or your local park.</div>

I was out of town... Now on to our regularly scheduled post:</span><br />
<br />
I first heard Paolo Nutini about 5 years ago. They started playing his catchy "New Shoes" song on one of our local radio stations. It was fun and I liked it... Then I kind of forgot about him. Well, five years and two albums later, I am rediscovering him and I'm glad that he's still putting out music. Nothing groundbreaking here, but it's still good.<br />

“We all want progress. But progress means getting nearer to the place where you want to be. And if you have taken a wrong turning, then to go forward does not get you any nearer. If you are on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; and in that case the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive man.” ― <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/1069006.C_S_Lewis" style="color: #666600; text-decoration: none;">C.S.

This week, it's time to discover some Georgia music. I've been holding onto Reptar for a little while because I couldn't find any footage that I liked. But they recently did a gig at Audiotree and I always enjoy their videos. Reptar is pretty fun and energetic music to listen to (not to mention, horns are usually a plus for me). The only thing I don't like is the lead singer's tongue seems to keep falling out of his mouth while he sings. I don't know why little things that are weird to me, but there you have it.</div>

Which got me thinking about Billie Holiday. I've been in love with Billie Holiday's voice for years. There's just something magical and lovely about her. Her phrasing is exquisite. She embodies the blues so very well. I wish there were more live footage of her performing.<br />

I've been sitting on this one for a while for a few reasons:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. I haven't taken the time to check them out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. I'm not sure if they're hipsters or not.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. I kind of like them, but I'm not yet blown away so I don't know what to say.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. Bombadil is not one of my favorite Lord of The Rings characters.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know that those are all shallow reasons for not listening to a band (except for reason 2.). Anyway, I like some of their songs and I'm glad to see that they are multi-instrumentalists. Don't let me cloud your judgement of them though.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Well, we've made it to 2015! We might not all be driving around in flying cars or wearing sci-fi-influenced clothing, but maybe we will be! Who knows where this year will lead us... No matter where you find yourself, I hope that this year will be better than the last (even if last year was amazing for you)!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy New Year!</div>

It always made the day better. Since I left that job I haven't listened to them as much and it kind of makes me sad. So let me introduce you to the brilliance of Talking Heads and David Byrne.<br />

I just came across Beaty Heart the other day. Pretty interesting tropical-influenced pop (trop-pop?) going on here. Hey, anyone that works a kalimba into their music is going to get my attention.</div>

Congratulations! You've successfully made it to the first weekend of Winter. Let this week's playlist help you settle in to Winter. Make your favorite warm beverage, sit a little closer to the fireplace (if you have one) and make the best of the long, dark nights. Have a great weekend!</div>
