Clint Michigan rocking Grey’s Anatomy

My wife and I picked up the Clint Michigan album (and by “picked up” we all know I mean downloaded from iTunes) back in June. Clint Michigan is actually a folk duo and the male half the the team just so happens to be my wife’s Cousin.

There is a song on the album that really resonates with me called “Hawthorne To Hennepin”. Like me, Clint also lost his brother, and there is a wonderful lyric in the song that sings “What my brother could have been, thats what I’ve been wonderin’…” and it spoke pretty deeply to me. Because that is a common thought of mine that I will most likely continue to have for the rest of my life.

Yesterday, Jaimi (my wife) was watching a recording of a popular show that she enjoys called “Grey’s Anatomy”, when a song started playing in the background. She recognized it but because of the fact that the song was on a show that averages 20 million viewers, she had a hard time thinking of the band’s name. Suddenly it struck her, “Thats Clint’s Band!!!” and she called me at work all excited. You could hear in her voice that she was just tickled.

Anyway, I don’t plug music I don’t like. But I really enjoy Clint Michigan. And Jaimi and I couldn’t be more excited for their big success. So here are some links below. And if you happen to like what you hear, please throw them a couple bucks by downloading a song or two from Amazon or iTunes.

Winter is coming, to HBO that is…

A Game of thrones

If you have never read George R. R Martin’s series A song of Ice and Fire, then I suggest you walk down to Ducan’s store (or his wife’s) and buy them as Christmas gifts for yourself or someone else.

Now, the genre is fantasy, and normally I am not a fan (excluding Tolkien obviously), but George’s novels are so well put together that reading them is a sweet indulgence. You follow a large ensemble cast, but the primary protagonist(s) are the Stark family. And the cool thing is, through out the series you read as this family grows up (some of the kids are just toddlers at the beginning). I only hope that unlike some other author Robert Jordan who will not be named, George doesn’t lose site of the story.

Maybe my words are not enough to convince you, but hopefully the fact that HBO also happens to be currently filming a series based around these books will cause you a second thought. The casting looks awesome, and I rarely look forward to anything on TV these days. But I for one, am looking forward to this.
