But here's what we're doing. Earlier today I had an idea while I was editing. You know what would be interesting? To really take a better look at those perks. Maybe someone's on the fence. Sometimes a paragraph isn't enough to explain why a perk is so cool.
So let's take a look at some of them. Up first, the $50 perk.
Oh, and here's track 8 of the Mix CD.
8. Dogwalkers of the New Age
Artist: Breathe Owl Breathe
Album: Magic Central
I could talk for days and days about how amazing Breathe Owl Breathe. They're 3 people in Michigan who's primary instruments seem to be a guitar, banjo, and a cello. They write songs about the woods and animals and nature.
Oh, and they're the best band you've never heard of. Unless, of course, you've been within a mile of me, and then you've heard me talk about them and chances are I've forced you to listen to them.
Yeah, I'm kind of a superfan.
The new album is great, as is Canadian Shield and, well, all of them. It's all great. Kieran Roberts and I spent a good amount of time sitting in a car and waiting for it to stop raining during the filming of Up Country, during which time we would listen to Breathe Owl Breathe for inspiration.
Seriously, trust me on this one.
And if you don't, well then here's some video for you. First is this song, and then some of what's on YouTube. Enjoy.
Really, just go on YouTube and search "Breathe Owl Breathe". You can thank me later.
