(no subject)
I need music, yeah - music like, "this indeed is music - this suits me."
what is moving you? what's it do to you? tell me, even if it goes just a little like this:
"You need to hear this, it's just...it made me so..." (followed, perhaps, by involuntary spasms, unrepeatable gestures)
give me an invigorating beat and GIVE ME A LOT OF IT!
I'm catching up, I'm patching up because I just left behind a phase - hating music, hating listening, hating playing. and I want to listen now, to listen perceptively: to hear the fanfares, the glissandos, the cracks and seams handled, cradled. I want to hear throat surgery, a prolonged divorce, an avocado in the kitchen, crows outside the barnyard, a ladder falling in the studio. I want to hear billowing. (and find you in it.)
Sunday's the first day of the week, so this week I'm going to explore, and hopefully listen well. since I missed out when their records came out last year, I'll be listening to a) Andrew Bird b) Bright Eyes c) Chris Garneau d) Cold War Kids e) Eleni Mandell f) Jens Lekman g) The National h) The Nels Cline Singers i) No Age j) Okkervil River k) The Ruby Suns l) The Shins m) Spoon n) St. Vincent o) The Twilight Sad p) The Weakerthans
and I'll try to find some beauty in q) Yeasayer r) Wilco s) Vampire Weekend t) Ryan Adams u) Iron & Wine v) Grizzly Bear w) Feist x) Dr. Dog y) The Arcade Fire z) A.A. Bondy
(and more. come on in.)
tell me what you loved, what you're loving, and tell me why - what it caused and causes in you. I'm listening!
