Moar Scrubs Muzak

So while browsing through a list of songs that have been on Scrubs, I noticed Joshua Radin on the list, and vaguely recalled seeing his name before and having a positive association with it..

Anyway, here's a piece of Josh Radin that I currently really like:

And then I decided to read Youtube's description of Joshua Radin:
"Though Joshua Radin enjoyed singing during his childhood, the Cleveland native never intended to be a professional musician. Instead, he studied drawing and painting at Northwestern University, following his college years with stints as an art teacher, screenwriter, and art gallery employee. Eventually, Radin took a stab at songwriting and played one of his earliest compositions, "Winter," for his friend Zach Braff. The burgeoning actor/director took an immediate liking to the song, and "Winter" eventually found its way onto Braff's hit television show Scrubs in early 2004. After fans began to request more of his music, Radin decided to pursue a songwriting career and signed with Columbia Records, which issued his debut album, We Were Here, in 2006."


So that's how you become successful.  Become friends with someone like Zach Braff.  Not that Josh Radin is that successful.  But he's decently successful in a very tough industry, and hey, he gets to do what he loves, right?

I guess the way you really become famous is by becoming friends with Justin Bieber (re: Carly Rae Jepsen).

I think I've found my genre of music.  It's the one that includes Matt Nathanson, Josh Radin, and Jon McLaughlin.   But I really dislike being defined like that.  I like other things too..  To use Harini jargon, I resent being put in a box!  For instance, I like songs from AFI, Anberlin, Yellowcard, etc. etc. too...

Anyway, I digress..  Also, I just took a shower and forgot where I was going with this post.  Ennywaaaze, I think I should go to sleep soon.

Lately, I've discovered and fallen in love with this song:


Love, love, love.

I'll probably get over it eventually.  You know how fickle I can be.

At least for now though, I think it's quite lovely.  :)
