It's a Thursday. Snowing heavily. 1/12th of the year is gone since my birthday. The dreary month of February is almost done. Ticket to Firefly acquired for another year. And I have new music to listen to. The Airborne Toxic Event dropped a surprise acoustic album along with their latest release. I'll be listening through "Songs of God and Whisky" for the first time. It has the potential to be a good day. We'll see.


Poor Isaac - The Airborne Toxic Event
A Certain Type of Girl - The Airborne Toxic Event
Change and Change and Change and Change - The Airborne Toxic Event

Pressure mounting at the office. Trying to drown myself in the familiar melancholy of sad music. A pretty dismal winter, up until my Birthday in late January. Up until then, the normal struggle with rejection was winning pretty handily. Since then a handful of things, elucidated elsewhere, although probably never published, surprisingly point toward what is at least healthy if not strong relationship. I've been thinking through the dichotomy of little things such as I crave actually occurring, but still feeling like any happiness is sure to crumble, and that whatever happiness I try to experience is unearned and short lived. Ah well. Much to deep for me. But it slightly informs this sad strain of music and how that feels comfortable to me.

Also on pins and needles for the Firefly lineup to come out. Could be today, could be any day really. Really hoping for St Vincent, Metric, and of course Arcade Fire.
