corn starch and water

It's like they wrote this for me specifically.

flight over fight

Cannot wait to get the hell out of this town and be with my family.

First sunburn of the season. New Beach House via NPR, those saints. Above image from one of my favorite tumblrs. Nothing big, just David Bowie singing with Bing Crosby. Just another Monday.

Feeling stale with my music lately. I shouldn't be; in the past two weeks I've seen Radiohead (even the holy ones couldn't redeem arena concerts), Andrew Bird and First Aid Kit, which was easily the best of the three. So good, in fact, that I only want to listen to them live from now on. Rhye is offering some reprieve from this funk. Reminds you of Sade doesn't it?

Craving other stimuli, I'm eager to attend my roommate's modern dance performance tomorrow and Smuin Ballet Company's spring program the day after that. I'm also still reeling from watching this AMAZING film, which pays homage to famed choreographer Pina Bausch. I couldn't recommend it more.

Maybe next time around I'll be a dancer.

Enjoying Dan Mangan's recent album Oh Fortune. Very Glen Hansard, very Marcus Mumford.

Have a lovely weekend.

sentir

Has a piece of music ever given you chills? I experience it often it seems. Usually an indicator that you're experiencing some serious earlightenment, amiright? Apparently this phenomenon has a name: musical frission. I read browsed through an article on it while I was working on some really important work-related work things.

Check it out!

This song, and much of Debussy's other work, tends to give me chills. Other offenders: a bow being drawn across cello strings and most things Radiohead.

Two rad infographics for the day: wind and water. Ain't the world a peculiar thing?
