Bigger Than Love

Benjamin Gibbard, lead singer of Death Cab for Cutie and The Postal Service, has long held a special place in my heart, especially around the holiday season. I spent an entire December finals period listening to the thirty minute All-Time Quarterback album on repeat. Needless to say, I heard that side-project at least 40 times in that two week period. 

Former Lives, Gibbard's first solo album, was released in October of this year. I meant to download it immediately, but life got in the way, as it tends to, and I forgot about it. Until last night. So now it's on repeat, the way I always listen to albums--straight through. And "Bigger Than Love" is pretty great.

Where the Buffalo Roam

I'm homeward bound today, along with the masses on the busiest travel day of the year, and I cannot wait to get there. The hustle and bustle of the holiday season makes it my favorite time of year, and this is bound to be a good one. I am a little disappointed that it's still so warm in Wisconsin, though. There's just something about the bitter cold that brings people together. And I really want to wear my winter coats!

I want to wish all of you, my wonderful readers, a Happy Thanksgiving, and thank you for being so supportive and welcoming to this endeavor! The Champagne & The Stars wouldn't be the same without you. Have a fabulous long weekend!
