My Brightest Diamond

Feeling Good, My Brightest Diamond.

The past two months have been... tumultuous, to say the least.  The next two... three... several promise to be equally so.  Large decisions are resting heavily on my shoulders. Life.

Added to the myriad of reasons I have not contributed lately (complete chaos, total lack of privacy, internet connection problems, serving as a sacrificial lamb, you know, the usual) - I haven't listened to anything new (to me) that inspired me to do so. Until last week.

If you're going to attend a concert (Sufjan Stevens) that is heavy on ART INSTALLATION and light on the musical performance, the least the universe can do to compensate is introduce you to this (and by universe I mean Kelsey, this is all her doing)

I bring to you my latest obsession, which Kelsey has probably already introduced, My Brightest Diamond. They don't make voices like Shara Worden's anymore... I'm guessing she's an angel. A dark one. Not in the sense that she's evil, just that she knows far to much to be considered innocent.

She's a dirty, dirty angel!

I have been listening to this at 6:40 am in my car every morning for a week. I'm just saying.

Sufjan Stevens

theme song for the past two days:

Sufjan Stevens, "I Walked"

so.  sufjan.  we need to talk.  because I really only like two of the songs from your new album.  and you decided to play the entire new album at the show I just saw.  not cool.  but this song is fun.  and you're right, it does require slow jam pants.  but still.  let's work on this a little bit, eh?

Perfume Genius

theme song for the afternoon/evening:

Perfume Genius, "Learning"

any song with lyrics that include "blah blah blah", I'm all about.  Plus, it's just an awesome song.  Lab break tomorrow, I'm so looking forward to making playlists for all the non-school activities I want to accomplish:  1) make biscuits.  2) work on jewelry commissions. 3) forget all the school/lab horrors that have been my life for the past two weeks.  4) pet the cat.

yay.

Julie Doiron

theme song for the evening:

Julie Doiron, "Nice To Come Home"

I'm going to go home soon.  It's been one of those working days.  It'll be nice to come home (cheesy).

Mogwai

theme song of the afternoon:

Mogwai, "Auto Rock"

apple crisp. lounging blanket. cool air. mogwai.
