Too Much (on Saturday?)

Well here we are...the weekend has arrived.

I'm counting on those who listen to this next track to be able to deal with the dedication it takes to love it.
Tall order? Ya, kind of. I've had people tell me to turn it off, and I've had people tell me to turn it up.

Sufjan Stevens has come a long way. His style, his lyricism, his tone, and his instrumentation (not to mention his personal life) has evolved, and you either trust him to take you on a journey with him, or you abandon him by the wayside because he hasn't taken you back to Chicago.

Personally, though I love Illinoize, Seven Swans, etc., I couldn't be more excited to go somewhere new and extra-choral, over-the-top, epic, and deliciously indulgent.
I must repeat...I love people who are not afraid to write what THEY want to hear, not what they think YOU want to hear. If I wanted to listen to something I could have thought of myself, I'd be a douche.


ENJOY: Album - Age Of Adz (2010)

May Songs - Dirty Projectors

Something that is a constant joy to listen to.

This whole album fills me with inspiration and awe. I'm almost at a loss for which song to choose since they are all incredible pieces of work.

Released in 2009, it hasn't lost an ounce of its freshness.

"Stillness is the Move" --- but you should just go ahead and listen to the whole album, it's got FUNK.

Spring Song Magic




These will be the songs that pull on me from my ears to my fingertips, through my veins.
They always evoke something hopeful, something uplifting, something infinite, unending in the possibility for more.
They have all been on repeat many many times.


The song of the day: Girls Lips Glitter, By BOWS

This song needs to be in headphones or plugged into your speakers. listening to this without the intent of intimacy and a journey is pointless to say the least.
Listen with wet scenery, perfect for this muggy/foggy day.


Thanks for reading (and more importantly for listening)
