If anyone knows what that is from, I will give you a million dollars. Okay, not really, but you would be my new best friend.

Every once in awhile, I go on a music kick where I rediscover how much I love a band and basically refuse to listen to anything but said band. Right now, I am definitely in that kind of mood about my favorite band, Jets to Brazil. Unfortunately, Jets to Brazil disbanded in 2003, right about when my obsession began and I never got to see them live. I can honestly say, if they ever decided to do a reunion show, no matter what, I would be there. I don’t care if I had to fly across the country, I’d book tickets as soon as I heard word.

Blake Schwarzenbach is incredible. He was in Jawbreaker also, another favorite. Basically, Blake is one of the main influences of so many bands and carved the shape of the indie/punk/emo scene and as Wikipedia says, is one of the “godfathers of emo”. But I don’t give a shit about all of that.

The man can write.

He’s one of those people you would kill just to have a conversation with, well, I would at least. So on this Tuesday, I am going to upload some songs from my favorite band in the world. Here’s two from each of their albums. They are beautiful and sad (some are sad), but so amazing. I had a hard time picking out only six!

Four Cornered Night
You’re Having the Time of My Life
Little Light

Orange Rhyming Dictionary
Chinatown
I Typed for Miles (my favorite song in the world ever)

Perfecting Loneliness
Cat Heaven
Further North

There you have it. My Jets to Brazil. If anyone would actually like the whole albums, email me and maybe you will get some holiday love from Blake and I in the mail!

Now, I propose a question: If you only had to listen to only one band (or artist) or album for the rest of your life, who would it be?
