Looking for It? They're Bringing It
If you're looking for it, it's out there. The people are bringing it and I'm here to help you find it.
What the heck am I talking about? Well, friends of mine from around the 'sphere are putting up some great music, writing great stuff and in general bringing it to the table, much to our communal undeserved delight.
For instance, music is art has the most wonderful mix up right now. She calls it "the mia lounge" and you can find it here. Danielle is incredibly gracious and sensitive and this music reflects her calm spirit and generosity.
A free man has been reflecting a bit as well, and his post called "Now, little boy lost, he takes himself so seriously" is some fine writing that is as revealing and honest as it gets. He's always got keen insights and wise things to say and his prose is as about as smart as it gets. He's been on a roll lately, so I highly suggest you give him a read.
Each Friday, in their feature called "Finally Friday," the ladies at speed of dark faithfully link to the places that they find interesting and they are always worth checking out. This past week was no exception. Go here to see what they're recommending and while you're at it, forage through their older Friday posts as well. You won't be disappointed.
Last but certainly not least, you have until midnight tonight (GMT) to vote on the final contrast podcast Festive Fifty year-end list. Tim has all the details and instructions, including all the songs that made the cut, at his personal blog, the face of today. Check it out here and feel free to vote even if you didn't send in any songs. It's open to anyone.

Case and Guided by Voices are old favorites and I'd not heard that Shout
Out Louds track. Great stuff!
