Hey, Wanna Go Pick Some Snowberries?

I was reminded by a good friend that it's time to get some Christmas up in this piece, so I thought I'd quickly share a list of my favorite Christmas songs & movies.
New Music: Bon Iver's Blood Bank
It's been over a year now since a guy by the name of Justin Vernon (better known as Bon Iver) locked himself in his father's cabin for 3 wintry months, and, using little more than an acoustic guitar and a remarkably distinct voice, recorded For Emma, Forever Ago. A truly haunting and unique album, Emma would most certainly be a shoe-in for the top slot on my 2008 list if TV on the Radio hadn't also made a record this year.

"In the Schrute family, we believe in a five-fingered intervention. Awareness, education, control, acceptance, and punching."
Surprise!

Turns out our governor actually is the schmuck everyone thought he was. I mean, a children's hospital? Wow.
Jerry Sloan: 20 Years
Stuff I'm Really Digging Right Now: Pandora, MTB, KanYe, & Dexter

Finally, if you don't know who Dexter Morgan is, I strongly suggest that you get familiar with him. I don't claim to be an expert on everything that exists within the infinite galaxy of television, but if you can introduce me to a better program than Showtime's Dexter, I'll certainly thank you for it.
Babies
Usually (at least more often than not), my time here will be spent on music, television, & other forms of media, but I had to dedicate my first post to my 5 day old daughter, Hadley. She doesn't do much besides eat and sleep right now, but I'm pretty sure she's the most wonderful eater/sleeper I've ever seen (biased, I know).
