This is not goodbye, more just stating that I don't know what to do with this space. I always come back to music so I still think it could continue like the good old days of seven posts a week. On the other hand, sitting still at a computer to put sentences together for an unknown audience has become increasingly uninteresting and cumbersome. I wish it was easier, and I wish I didn't feel guilty about throwing up a song without words and proper linkage. I've found some new hobbies, friends, and made new plans that keep me busy and away from computers. My life has been going in a million different directions and it's a good thing. But some days I wish I still had this cozy little internet home, I miss the songs, and I miss the connections. I miss you, whoever you are that reads this.
I haven't listened to much new stuff this year nor have I even attempted to keep up with new releases, but here is what held my attention at one point or another:
- Typhoon -White Lighter
- Neko Case - The Worse Things Get, The Harder I Fight...
- The National - Trouble Will Find Me
- Hey Marseilles - Lines We Trace
- Phosphorescent - Muchacho
- J. Roddy Walston & The Business
- Camera Obscura - Desire Lines
- Born Ruffians - Birthmarks
- Pickwick - Can't Talk Medicine
- Shout Out Louds - Optica
- Rhye - Woman
- Josh Ritter - The Beast in its Tracks
- Daft Punk - Random Access Memories
I hope that'll do for now. I'll be back someday. Maybe even soon with a mix tape.
Miss you,
-J
P.S. I like this song. I hear it on the radio sometimes and sing along.
