Here Is My Song

What's up, blogosphere?

I am currently in my Music Mix class keeping one eye on the kids and the other eye on what I am typing. (:
I am thoroughly enjoying my summer job here at Summer Institute- it is a wonderful opportunity for kids to learn and be involved in lots of fantastic activities.

I teach "Guitar Stars", "Music Mix", Digital Photography, and last week I also taught Scrapbooking, which was a ton of fun. The kids are hilarious- you come across a few silly kids that obviously just want to rub you the wrong way- but otherwise, the kids are great. Funny and just needing to be occupied during the summer days.

We are into Week 3 and it has been a lot of fun, but for some reason, this halfway-point is dragging quite a bit and this week is tough!!!

Moving on to other things ... media-related. (:

Some music I've been listening to lately:
Empire of the Sun- (the song Walking on a Cloud is awesome!)
Fleet Foxes (they are just always amazing to listen to)
Riceboy Sleeps (Sigur Ros side project of crazy cool instrumental stuff)
Grizzly Bear (new album, Veckatimest. Two Weeks and While You Wait for the Others are my favourite tracks)
The Dirty Projectors (the song Useful Chamber from the album Bitte Orca is unreal!)
Reverie Sound Revue (Lisa Lobsinger who is also a part of Broken Social Scene [whom I ALSO adore]... One Marathon is a great track.)
Yeahsayer (tune: Tightrope from the album 'Dark Was the Night'.. check THAT out. Amazing compilation)
She & Him (Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward- two very talented people collaborating!)
Speaking of Zooey... how about that movie, "(500) Days of Zooey" er, "Summer"?
Looks pretty awesome and I looooove her already, so I am pretty excited about that one!
