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.)

Missing loved ones who are far away, wishing things would happen for some loved ones closer, and waiting to see other loved ones at the holidays. It's always a good time for music. These all (with the exception of Jonsi) are brand new to me, Thanks All Songs Considered.

Apply - Glasser

I'll keep it with mine - Dean and Britta

The Bold Arrow of Time - Tame Impala

The End - Best Coast

A Room where your Paintings Hang - Lost in the Trees

Go Do - Jonsi

I Get Nervous - Lower Dens

Love More - Sharon Van Etten

Well a lot of time has passed, and while I haven't had much to say in this space, music continues to be a profound influence in my life. I've listened to lots and lots, liked much of it and will list some of it here. Some music has been there during some low, depression filled times, and some has helped me get through it and keep going even when it would be easier not to. My suggestion would continue to be listen to as much music as you can, like what you like, and always see what else is out there.

This next week looks like it holds more challenges in trying to keep a good face forward. I'm sure music will be as important as ever. Anyways... here's the list.

Pink City - Secret Cities

SDP - The Kissaway Trail

The Cave - Mumford and Sons

Rill Rill - Sleigh Bells

Born Free - MIA

I get Nervous - Lower Dens

Coquette, Coquette - Of Montreal

New Goodbye - Hey Rosetta

And he slayed her - Liz Phair
