Those Were the Reasons, and That Was New York

Fantastic New Music I Discovered Today Thanks to Rdio's Heavy Rotation Feature

Rdio might be my favorite internet thing right now. Best $10 I spend every month.

The "heavy rotation" feature highlights what your Rdio network is listening to most. Today I just went to clicking and discovered new music. Delightful new music that makes me giddy.

Today I discovered:

• We the Common by Thao & The Get Down Stay Down
• Fear Fun by Father John Misty
• The Lighthouse by Yann Tiersen

What else should I be listening to?

Live Performance Break!

She was nobody's wife.

Ska Fun

Last night I went to my first ska show. I'd heard ska before, but only someone else's selection in someone else's car. I didn't think I cared for it that much.

But I was invited to a show at Slim's to see The Streetlight Manifesto, so I went.

And wow! What fun!

All those horns sound abrasive on car speakers but live they were bright and full and happy sounding. Before I could stop myself I was bopping around and dancing with sweat-soaked 18 year olds.

Ska. Huh. Who'd have thunk it.

I Don't Have to Like This to Love It

It is science that causes the fractured mind. It is mere biology that is responsible for it all.

Just vessels. Just filters of energy.

But, oh, it's everything.

I don't have to like this to love it.

Sad, White Girl Music

I haven't loved an artist this much in a long time:
