I really like music because I’m a human being who can hear.

Song of the Day – Trials of the Past by SBTRKT (Feat. Sampha)

Nothing to write about this one. It speaks for itself. So young so how were you to know know knowYou’re a carrier a carrier of the light inside of youGlows green in the pitch black night night night бесплатные микрозаймы действительно выдают мфо Can’t tell anyone anyone it’s hurting youSo hold it in cover up, pull up your sheets your sheetsWhat to be, down cruising in the ocean, and sin it’s dueSo I got to sit up, sit up up upFor my heart to come down down down down downSo I got to sit up, up up up upFor my…

The Confessions of a Tinkerophile

“Audiophile” is like “writer” – you can label yourself one, but without the bona fides to back it up you might only get a few bemused looks when you throw it around. It’s become fashionable to say that you’re not an audiophile, to reject the people who turn up their noses at anything short of five thousand dollar cables, dual mono block amplifiers with innards that look like they belong in the MOMA, and enough gold to back an antiquated currency (paging Reddit: /r/BudgetAudiophile). взять займ на карту онлайн срочно. I don’t consider myself an audiophile. That is, not in…

Song of the Day – Leaving LA by Father John Misty

It’s been a minute since Josh Tillman made an appearance – and since I’ve regularly dropped in a music post. Or writing. I’ve been busy with a move, but now that’s wrapping up and I have the time and focus for two of my loves: words and music. Most “long” songs are over-ambitious duds, but the 13:11 long “Leaving LA” goes right in on Tillman’s relationship to fame and the name tag he wears on stage. If a musician is going to wax eternal, they might as well do it about their struggle with their own constructed facade, their relationships,…

Song of the Day – Sometime Around Midnight by Airborne Toxic Event

Often my songs of the day embody something I’m going through or a state of mind, or they’re songs I just think are fun. This is neither. This song, like all love stories, is a ghost from the past that materialized in my brain and asked me to listen to again. It’s a good song, and it reminds me of the wistfulness and regrets of young love. The song describes memories and evokes them, a wonderfully layered experience brought home with heavy strings and an pleading sizzle to the bloodstream, “You just have to see her.” Sometimes your past can…

Song of the Day – Fool for Love by Lord Huron

What I love about this song is the lollipop folk, jitterbug riffs juxtaposed with a guy getting beaten (do death?) for picking a fight with another guy over a woman. That’s kind of funny? The whole song is funny? “You know you don’t hit half bad” – that’s worth a chuckle. And then: I know I should’ve never looked backBut you ain’t gonna win a woman’s heart like that Bruh.

Song of the Day – Every Other Freckle by Alt-J

I’ve thought a lot about my own intensity for the last few days. It’s been the self-examination I keep coming back to. And, yeah, I’m pretty fucking intense. The truth of intensity is twofold: it can be alluring and intoxicating in the right situations, and it can be extra when the time isn’t right. This goes for my hobbies, relationships (all kinds), work, mental state, physical activity, etc. Ever wanted to be made to feel like the center of all existence? Just call me a pre-Copernican astronomer. “Every Other Freckle” is one of my favorite, uh, love songs. It expresses…

Song of the Day – Chateau Lobby #4 (In C for Two Virgins) by Father John Misty

This is way, way overdue, especially for the most popular song off an album that vaulted a popular musician’s career and set the tone for a summer of my life (don’t ask). “Strip away the modern, droll irony and just love” – that’s one of the points behind the album. Between this track, the album’s titular song, “I Love You, Honeybear,” and “Holy Shit,” you can paint a convincing picture of modern love as something we choose to do despite all the pressures and stumbling blocks we’ve constructed in this world. The other songs add to this conversation – perhaps…

Song of the Day – I’ll Come Too by James Blake

I know I’ve been leaning hard on this dude, but the painful lack of comma in the song’s title aside, it really suits the day, and that’s how this works. I’m gonna say what I needIf it’s the last thing I do Yeah, man.
