I am becoming one of those people that needs music to fall asleep. Also, possibly one that needs to smoke a bowl. This saddens me in a way. The music is alright, but its only a few things I can comfortably listen to.
The last few days I've been listening to "Animals" jjust because I have previously proclaimed it to be my favorite album, and I had to make sure that was true. I've also gone to a deeper (possibly unnecessary) level of analyzing it, thus deciding to re-read "Animal Farm". Why do they have us read it at such a young age? I feel like most people didn't understand that book in any way.. I almost did.
Last night I listened to "Tommy" which I thought would be soothing in the same way Animals was. It wasn't for the first half because I felt tense and still couldn't go to sleep, but that could just be because 1. i left the christmas lights on over my bed 2/ i was stressing out about my terrible self portrait or 3. i was having allergies because tiffany is sleeping right next to me. Anyway, I am re-listening to the second half of Tommy right now. The nostalgia is overwhelming.
Other things I like to listen to before sleeping are a mix Kaley gave me called Sunrise. I guess its from a compilation set called Beachlife. And this is Volume 1... It starts out with a mixed version of Jackson 5 doing "Ain't No Sunshine" and then continues into a 45 or so minute long groove of ridiculousness including a really great cover of "Breathe" by Pink Floyd and a song called "Mi Novela Biografica" by a band called Le Mans.
Every night for about a month I listened to a playlist of Dylan songs that I put together, that one is perfect for sleeping but since last.fm took over my life I have stopped playing it since my top played songs were dominated by Dylan. Why did I care? Why do I still?
from you i get opinions, from you i get the story
I remember once I listened to the Overture of Tommy 3 times in a row without realizing it was on repeat.
My finals are done tomorrow and I can't wait. Its interesting to have entire weeks free, not just the weeekends. I'm thinking of running up to Berkeley for Daniel Hirt's graduation. Maybe spending a day in San Francisco and a day in Santa Cruz. Hell, I'll even drive across to Marin and dig Annie out of her home. Real cali, mILL VALLEY.
Kill me, I miss the Bay.
