Holi & What I'm Listening To

Here in Spanish Fork we have a Krishna temple on the outside of town. In the spring the hold the Festival of Colors where there is a large gathering of people (seems like mostly BYU students) where they sing, chant, burn a human effigy, and throw powdered dye at each other.

The festival happened a week and half ago and I planned on attending. I even went and picked up more 120 Velvia for my Holga. I wasn't able to make it, however.

So, in this post I'm mixing topics because of a similarity in theme. You have to watch the music video till the end to see it.

New Music - Josh Ritter

A couple of days ago Stacy, from Three Winks Studio, decided she was going to start posting new music she is listening to each week. I thought that was a fun idea. So, I won't be posting one each week like Stacy, but I do want to post a song I just can't stop listening to. I'm a sucker for a simple melody with deep, complex lyrics. Maybe it was all the Bob Dylan we had to analyze in Mr. Olsen's high school english class. Anyway Temptation of Adam, by Josh Ritter, has at the top of the playlist lately. I'm still trying to figure out what it all means.

Enjoy.
