MUSICAL JOURNEYS INTO SUBCONSCIOUS DESIRES

About Me


"brandishes new drums behind its drain-circling arpeggios, but sounds every bit as massive in crescendoing as its live renditions suggested it might. meanwhile,"" concludes by dressing up what begins as a skeletal rhythm section in cavernous swaths of glockenspiel, synths, pianos, and white noise." ~ Pitchfork , (This is kinda what I think my music sounds like in my head b4 I write it down or play it on my guitar)Like many music lovers of a certain age, I have a lot of warm memories tied up with release days. I miss the simple ritual of making time to buy a record. I also miss listening to something special for the first time and imagining, against reason, the rest of the world holed up in their respective bedrooms, having the same experience. Before last Wednesday, I can't remember the last time I had that feeling. I also can't remember the last time I woke up voluntarily at 6 a.m. either, but like hundreds of thousands of other people around the world, there I was, sat at my computer, headphones on, groggy, but awake, and hitting play. ~ PITCHFORK , (What I have done almost every New Music Release Tuesday since i was old enough to drive, most notably last year's Dirty Projectors release, Rise Above.
