I couldn't sleep last night. At least I got to listen to a lot of music. I really dig the Feist. The new Iron and Wine album is also excellent. It is different from most of what else I've heard by him; it's much more...aggressive? More iron, less wine.
This guy is stirring up all my emotions and he knows it and he knows I know he knows it.
Sigur Ros's new unpronounceable album is also more energetic, like sunlight through the leaves on a windy day. This would be compared to how I feel when I listen to their other albums, which is more like standing on a raft floating quietly in a still loch on a moonlit night, where the water mirrors me so clearly that I forget which one I am.
So the new one, much more sunny.
I am also obsessed with Crystal Castles. Almost techno-rock, with distorted female vocals and lots of video game noises. I am certain that one of the sounds is from Joust, one of my favorite games where you are a little warrior with a lance on a flying ostrich fighting other similar little warriors.
The game also had an invincible pterodactyl that killed everyone, which explained why the ostriches of today gave up flying at all. Leave the skies to the reptiles, I say.
