Today, I'd like to mention the music group The Wailin' Jennys.
They're a trio of women who sing in tight harmonies, with a folksy, bluegrass style that sometimes delves into British or Irish folk song. I've been listening to them pretty much all day today - they're great for public transit (at least in my opinion.) Arguably, a lot of their music can sound the same if you're casually listening. However, their musical styling and - especially - the lyrics of their songs are both strong pulls towards their originality.
It's great music for winding down after a long day, or maybe mixed in as a part of a road trip CD. They're everything that's good about "just a little bit country." Read more here: The Wailin' Jennys on Wikipedia

This Thing I Like 1
I'm thinking "Things I Like" will be a recurring post. Woohoo!
This week: Tara Stiles' Yoga Videos
I've been sticking to my New Year's yoga resolution! So far (well since getting back to school), I've been morning yoga-ing it up three times a week. It makes for a centering start to the day. Depending on how fast I'm moving in the morning, I pick a 5-10 minute video, roll out my mat, and get going. It's nice because I've learned enough about yoga to be able to function on my own but I still need guidance in terms of a routine. Of course, it's not the same as going to a class, but it's definitely cheaper and I can pick my focus for the day (strength, flexibility, energy, etc.)
Tara's channel has a large variety of videos, ranging from small 3-4 minute clips to entire 50 minute work outs. I have yet to do one of those, but I'm looking forward to trying once I settle into my new place. Her pace is steady, but not too slow and she always gives a range of options for making poses more challenging (as most good yoga teachers do, in my experience). If you're A) Reading this and B) Looking for a Youtube yoga channel, I recommend Tara Stiles! And thanks to my BFF Haley for the original recommendation.
