Alas, I Cannot Swim


















Ok! I'm back in Bmore and not so excited that the arctic tundra decided to follow me here. The weather is making me lazier than ever, so Ive been sitting on my stoop waiting for a Tauntaun to walk by, which explains why this is the first post I've made in 5 years or maybe 4..whos counting?....I downloaded the album shown above maybe 2 weeks ago and I've been listening to it a whole lot. Its Laura Marling's first full length entitled Alas, I Cannot Swim.  It's an  acoustic/folk album with some country influences and reminds me of a spring day in the woods with a nice breeze mmmm, which sounds perfect on this ugly january day. Also, Laura is only 18 which makes the album a little more impressive as well. You should have a listen. Godspeed
