i've been listening to Merriweather Post Pavillion and The Heart Of Saturday Night over and over again, switching back and forth between the two as my mood and energy shifts. i've tried other music but i keep coming back to these. i'm really glad that he seems to be listening to the animal collective album, too. they're one of my favorite bands, they kind of seem to play my essential moods and emotions out loud for me (and make them more concretely danceable), and it's pleasantly surprising to me that he's enjoying them as well. he (and matt) got me into the tom waits album, and i like the (sort-of) symmetry.
