Mark Warner is THE MAN

I'm not so sure I have Democratic pride, but I do have Virginia pride. I love my former governor and future Senator (I hope - I am so not a Gilmore fan), Mark Warner. Admittedly, I'm also incredibly sad that John Warner is retiring...

Justin Jones & the Driving Rain

I reach over to deal with an unruly eyelash. Oh shit. Out falls my contact. I can sense it more than see it, the vision in my right eye blurred.

The song begins warmly, an invitation to sit in the corner and rest your tired feet, close your blinking eyes. Justin Jones' voice never tells you what to think, but by the end you'll know how to feel. It's - I won't hesitate to say - beautiful, and tense, standing on the edge of something so terrifying you can't help but ache for it.

Passing through Mississippi
Swerving like a whirling gypsy
The calm in me I have not felt before

There was something on that summer breeze
It held me close and kissed the trees
Tell you I will never know for sure

Justin Jones is a fellow Virginian, hailing from the Shenandoah Valley; currently, he's based out of DC. He'll be floating around Virginia through November and December, playing at JMU on November 14th. More dates here. Fans of Ryan Adams will find solace in Justin Jones' music.

I owe a big thank you to my Oberlin buddy Harris for some of the coding and for file-hosting (*hearts Harris*); you can hire him to build your website just because he's that awesome.
