she has an appreciation for mewithoutyou

i only thought that i liked this band before. aaron weiss is the lead vocalist for the band mewithoutyou, most likely my favorite band to date. i just recently read that aaron spent time living at the simple way , which is an community based in pennsylvania. one of the founding people in the simple way is a guy named shane claiborne who wrote the irresistible revolution which is the book that i read last summer that made me fall in love with reading again. its kind of crazy how certain things can be related and one not even realize it. but it all makes sense (of course) now.

a lot of people don't care for mewithoutyou's style of music... which i can somewhat understand as the mere description of 'alternative' doesn't do it justice. i, which i am sure you have gathered by now, love it... and of course am biased and think they should be everyone's top choice. but not only am i a fan of their music, its nice to see a band truly standing behind what they believe and trying to live it out humbly instead of trying to use it as advertisement.
