The Office and What it Means to Me
I’d really like to take a chance to just write briefly about the state of music in the year of 2008. I am a optimist disguised as a cynic at times, but when it comes to music, it’s quite hard to hide that unbridled positivity within me. That’s why it has been so frustrating, as of January of this year, to find artists/bands that have profoundly affected me the way certain ones did last year. The albums that I have put forth on this blog are the best of what I’ve heard, because it’s my ‘job’ to sort out the good from the decent and the bad. But I’m looking for something great! I want an album that I can play incessantly, that I can listen in 6 months from now and have it mean something different to me. Andrew Bird, The National, Josh Ritter, Jens Lekman–their respective albums fulfill such criteria for me, but gosh darnit, I’m frustrated!
That said, The Office has returned to NBC post-strike-of-the-writers. If you haven’t seen it yet, please do. But in the episode, there is this awful, awful song that Michael’s girlfriend plays. Lo and behold, it was actually Todd Fancy of the New Pornographers who wrote it! Anyhow, NBC has got some promotional stuff they want you to do for the 45 second clip of the song, so you can check that out if you’re interested.
