An uneventful day is the best day to start this. It forces me to get into the essence of what “streetlights by night” means to me. House lovers, its that spiritual thing we feel at the first notes of that vocal, the unconcious movement of our feet when that four-to-the-floor starts. Ambient lushes, it’s that void, the sweet abyss at floating in the space of those pads. Post-rock tends to divide, but the feeling is the same. If you’re going for the lighter side of things, it’s Coastal Stations by July Skies – the song you listen to while attached to your pillow in the corner of the bed, the middle of the night, when your other senses are just dulled enough for your ears to pick up the minute nuances of the background vocal. On the heavy edge, it’s Yndi Halda ( a must for those that haven’t) or a crescendo core like Explosions in the Sky’s album, The Earth is not a Cold Dead Place (listen to at night, at the stars, in the field).
Today was one of those. Not hot enough to be interesting, but not too cold. School, work for tonight, work for tomorrow, work for the weekend, work for 6 months later. Tired, not enough sleep. High points were the darling, pizza for breakfast/lunch, and starting this. Nice moments but not earthshaking.
Which means it’s the perfect day. The perfect day that forces me to discover something that touches at my soul, makes me smile uncontrollably, or rage idealistically.
And with that, let’s get started. Not too much, just my homepage, a few daily bookmarks, and a new find.
