ANNOUNCEMENT

Hello loves. I realize that I have been MIA with recommendations for two weeks but somehow Tuesdays joined the club, with namely Thursdays, as the "busy cant breathe" days therefore I am MOVING RECOMMENDATION DAY TO SUNDAY! midterms and work have been crazy for the past two weeks and I apologize a great deal. It's You, Me and Sundays now.

But don't think I would come here and leave you without a little something to help you make it till Sunday. I recommend you check out Anberlin if you have not already. They are one of my favorite bands of all time and they never cease to amaze me. Therefore, I leave you with their latest music video for 'Feel Good Drag'. Though I cannot embed the video due to some feud between Youtube and Warner, I do leave you will the link. Enjoy!

xoxo Michele

Under the Bright Lights & Midnight Land

Band: Empires

Notes: Not going to lie this band is probably my favorite band ever. They emerged on the scene in 2008 and blew my mind. If you like the songs up for download you can actually get their whole CD for free at weareempires.com. My grandpa even likes this band, which is weird because he likes no bands but I left their CD in my car and when he borrowed it to go somewhere he listened to the whole CD and then asked me for a copy. This band is going to do some big things, so stay tuned. 

Note-able CDs released today: zip, nada...eh, check back next week
