Id rather be able to say good bye to Europe

Rainy Saturday Morning playlist: The Ashes of Piamonte

Suggested by P.A.Howe

Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust on Rdio

I have been invited today by Rdio to join and so did I.
It looks like as good or bad as MOG was two years ago, which does not sound so tempting, right?
Plus: NPR, Soundcloud or any other major music portal offers more new releases than Rdio apparently does here in Europe. Subscription seems necessary but also quite pricey.
Right now I am listening to the only Sigur Ros album I dont have in digital.
Is that enough? hhhhhnop.
If you want to try it yourself, just drop a line and I ll invite you.
Peace

After listening to "Carpe" by Russian Circles, I realize I wish I was with my buddies Paul and Adam on our way to a gig of this band. Would turn awesome for sure.

My work on this Saturday has been mostly like

Musicians and Musicians

There are those artists like Phosphorescent or the Afghan Whigs, an example, who write the same song all over again.
And people listen to that, me included, and like them. Fair.

Then there are those few ones, less than a dozen I guess, who are not able to write the same kind of song twice. And we fall in love with them.
David Bowie is a full fledged member of this latter category.

Lonleytude: (med.) feeling lonely while being alone a.k.a. willing to be alone in order to feel lonely.

Possible symptoms: seriousness, monotone and/or dull looks; Twitter dependancy; pour diet; laziness.

Therapy: sun, sex (possibly with sentimental involvement), good sleep, vegetables, vodka ginger beer on the rocks, internet restrictions.
