Bittersweet nothing. Astonishing how harsh "nothing" can be and how relieving when it's over.

Music is always there, regardless of how low I feel or excited I get.

Purchased tickets for my very first music festival, super pumped to look forward to that this summer. Feels like I'm showing commitment to music as a passion. Can't wait. Here are some songs that caught my ear recently...

New Ceremony - Dry the River

Oblivion - Grimes

When I Was Young - Nada Surf

We will all be changed - Seryn

Serpants - Sharon Van Etten

Hollywood Forever Cemetery Sings - Father John Misty

Say Goodbye - Norah Jones

Into Giants - Patrick Watson

I Lost You - A Place to Bury Strangers

Ekki Mukk - Sigur Ros

Plenty of things happening. Stress at work. Stress in relationships. Much to think about. Many questions. Few answers. Music is the soundtrack to my thoughts. Here are some things I've liked lately.

We are Young - Fun

Easy Way Out - Gotye

Heavy Metal - White Rabbits

Drifting in and out - Porcelain Raft

Brains - Lower Dens

Broke - Sea of Bees

Don't Sit There - Lucius

Liberal Arts - Hospitality

Never Change - Juliana Barwick

Electric Flame - Thee American Revolution

Swaggs - Mount Carmel

Lion's Den - Dry the River

The Pull - Now Now

Prehistoric - Now Now

Fur Felix - Julia Holter

... and a whole shitload of dubstep. Yes from the likes of Skrillex, Deadmou5, Bassnecter, etc...

(I choose to see this as musical dabbling rather than full scale evolution or reversion. But whatever. It kicks ass and works well with huge doses of caffeine.)
