Office Music


Decided to hit the best of 09' list on Jambase for something new. Listened to French Miami's...was drawn to it by the album cover, and it listened a lot like it looked. Also checked out the Flaming Lips Listening to the album in entirety is quite the journey.

Music Times

Started up the music engine today and found a really sweet thing. Pitchforks top lists are pretty fun to explore but having the years best of albums lists from around the web perfectly integrated into lala has that great combination of being both awesome and convenient.

Heard that Vic Chesnutt committed suicide over the weekend so i decided to go back and listen to an album of his. At the Cut is his latest album. The album certainly doesn't surprise me that it was written by someone ready to die.

folk day



After my enjoyment of Veckatimist I feel the need to explore their early offerings. Today I listen to Yellow House A folk album, the irregular rhythms and the varity of non-traditional instruments really stand out. Compared to Veckatimist, the production is more atmospheric and ethereal. Overall a very enjoyable listen.

why

So i started this blog for two reasons. First off, to share with others what i have been listening to; it changes often. And second, to join together those that enjoy live music in virginia.
