Believe it or not but we have floated half way through 2008 already…mind boggling, I know! It feels like just yesterday I was in Brooklyn ringing in the new year playing Rock Band.

Anywho…I am currently a very busy and excited person. I’ll be heading to the beach in a few days for a week of debauchery in Ocean City and then when I return I’ll be moving from South Side to my new geek-pad apartment in Lawrenceville (Seth and I will be slowly takin' over the neighborhood!). Oh…and did I mention that I was recently accepted into grad school and will be starting in the Fall at Pitt, once again? Also this past weekend I got to meet one of my favorite authors, David Sedaris, who stopped in Pittsburgh on a book tour….which was an interesting experience except for the crazy old kook who sat next to me, pestering me with ridiculous questions. She argued with me that David was a Pittsburgh native (I think she had him confused with Michael Chabon?).

In honor of it being the half way point of 2008 here is a short list of my favorite "newish" musical artists of the year accompanied with a few songs:

Flight of the Choncords (currently obsessed with)- Ladies of the World
Santogold- Lights Out
favorite album cover so far this yearLil Wayne- Lollipop
p.s. Have a happy Friday the 13th tomorrow...I know I will!!!
