I am feeling quite blue :(

Broken, bruised and tired. We have been falling apart over here. I woke up Monday morning to pain in my neck, I must have slept on it wrong so I have had a dull ache for the last couple of days. Now, Puma is limping… I don’t want to run to the vet but I can’t stand seeing her in pain. I am not really sure what to do… Run to the vet or give it a couple of days? Sigh…

Moby… Dear sweet geeky Moby. Perfect for where I am tonight. His new album Wait For Me takes you on a ethereal carpet ride through the starry night sky. Just beautiful.

I have been completely uninspired… Which explains my absence from the blog. I do apologize but it happens from time to time.

Back to business. I completely missed this album when it came out in February… Sin Fang Bous is a lad who hails from Iceland and boy can he create some kooky, eclectic, indie mixed with traditional pop/folk music. It is really quite fantastic. He takes you on a wonderful trip that will have you dancing, spinning and just enjoying the artistic originality that he puts into his music.

Tonight, I felt it necessary to toast to the one and only “King of Pop”, Michael Jackson. His life should indeed be celebrated. Cheers to you MJ! You will never be forgotten.

And if you do not have at least this album and then well you should go right out and purchase it!

I really don’t have anything to say this evening… I was not ready for this day at all and I am exhausted. All I have is some lovely Inara George…

This album is HOT right now, it is burning up. Normally I wait for the fire to go out, this time I can’t. Veckatimest is a diverse album that takes you to such great heights. It is an album filled with deep beautiful sound drawing from a combination of genres like pop, psychedelic and folk, but put together in pure Grizzly Bear fashion… They manage to balance just the right amount eclectic to create something original and beautiful. You must allow it to fill your ears because if it doesn’t then you need to turn it up, maybe even buy a new sound system. Veckatimest is a well crafted piece of art, stunning and you will most certainly see it on my and many others end of the year lists.

I have laid around like a dead fish for the latter part of the day. I am so lazy and tired because I have been doing nothing for the last 5 hours, hey I have to prepare for the upcoming work week right? So in the spirit of well… nothing… I have decided to close my eyes and press play. Enjoy your Sunday night.

I keep coming back to this album as if it is home, it certainly feels like home. I love Stars but this album especially has always been there for me. Like today… It shuffled on and brought a smile to my face. Play it loud!

I have had a headache off and on for the last 3 days… Not fun. I needed something soothing and relaxing this evening. Zee Avi is a delicious singer-songwriter who was basically discovered via YouTube according to Wikipedia. How awesome is that? Very. She was signed to Brushfire Records and her debut album was just released in May. There are a handful of beautiful tracks and I look forward to listening as her music grows. Just lovely, lovely music.

I am really not feeling very well. I have had a headache for the last couple of days and I am a little nauseous… I will return tomorrow, refreshed and feeling much better I am sure. :-) Good night.

Lets just jump right in shall we? I will be the first to admit I am high strung to say the least, it is just my nature, my mothers side obviously. I have limited patience. The only problem with this is that I can’t fake it. Damn it to hell. Sometimes I wish I could so badly! I wear my emotions on my sleeve, wait scratch that I spell it out in big bright red letters. So if you rub me the wrong way, it takes all the strength within me to hide it. I also know I have a lot of anger, I am not at peace yet… Still working on that but I am learning, I have my ups and downs you know?

Anyways, I needed to blow off some steam. I  jumped in my car and put on Mates of State, Re-Arrange Us. I love listening to this album super loud while driving in my car singing along. This album kind of surprised me because I didn’t really care for some of their previous work but this album has had some major staying power.
