My mom is little more musically inclined than most (I assume). I blame XM radio and me and my brothers for that. Recently she sent a little package with an awesome drawing from my little brother Cully, some old mail, and a little note (pictured above). Now, I’ve always been a fan of Nada Surf, but I never got around to buying the new album. Also I knew they were coming to town, but I opted to sit this one out. However, Let Go and This Weight is a Gift are always in heavy rotation in my car stereo because of how catchy and heartfelt their music is. So after getting this note, I realized I’d never heard the song. I soon found out it was off their latest record, Lucky. I searched the internet and downloaded the song. I was amazed; it disarmed me just like certain Nada Surf songs do. It spoke to me and to my current life situation. In response, I bought tickets for tonights show at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco and plan on purchasing the new record at the merch desk.

So here’s a recommendation not from me, but from my mom. Enjoy!
