So this is what all the fuss is about.
Finally saw The Head and the Heart perform. They have such a unique and refreshing sound - and I have been playing their CD non stop since we returned from Doe Bay. Scott reminded me of the Dido and Broken Bells phases that I went through. Those CDs played over and over.
To mix things up, I also in[...]
