There’s no need for haste, the pages which lie ahead of you will lie ahead of you for as long as you like them to; it is perfectly all right if some things are at first unclear, and if there are references you don’t recognize. Just go happily on; we don’t stay in bed all day, do we? just because we’ve mislaid our appointment calendar. No, we need to understand this book—enjoy its charm, its wit, its irony, its erudition, its sensuous embodiment—the way we understand a spouse we have lived with and listened to and loved for many years through all their nights. Persons deserving such devotion and instinctual appreciation are rare; rarer still are the works which are worth it.

Broken Bells - Your head is on fire
I was going to post the new Shins song ‘Simple Song’, but upon further youtubing, came across this which is more of a surprise :) ..I have this album but obviously haven’t given it the time it deserves..
Simple Song is lovely too .. bring on the new album!
Demon Days - Robert Forster
A bit of mellow melancholy .. not sure about the movie stuff, was it in some sountrack? but anyway, this is a lovely song when you’re in the right mood…
Finally spending some time with my podxt live multi effects pedal .. this was a little bit of learning about analogue delay .. i kinda like it . might do something with it…
About me
I'm a person who lives in Brisbane Australia, who works for a company but hates corporations, who drives a car but hates excessive use of fossil fuels, who reads a lot about excess and extremes and hates the ordinary, who creates music but never practices, who loves music but hates commercial radio, who loves being challenged but hates being told what to do, who is aware but apathetic. I am a music and technology geek and love anything artistic, expressive, clever, intense and philosophical.
