So for this year’s Blogathon, the eternally-talented Scott Andrew LaPera and the stunningly cute (and equally talented) Shannon Campbell teamed up to write two songs in twenty-four hours. What blows my mind is that both songs, Southdown and Nothing New, are heartbreakingly beautiful, sounding like our generation’s answer to the great folk rock duos of yesteryear. Damn.

Now, dangit.
