Trouble will find me

I am hunted by the last album by The National. I rarely look into lyrics of songs I like, this is one of those cases. So go there and buy one yourself! I have been also listening to a lot of Joy Division, Primal Scream and John Prine. They have not so much to do with each other. The main reason is that I did not know them that well so far.

Mist

I feel like one of those Central European cities, mostly interesting and possibly charming but covered with a veil of unremovable, melancholic and sad reminder of the past. Good for a weekend trip, they are otherwise dull and become boring quite soon. There was that one Czech word Kundera wrote once an essay about...

Not about discounts. It does look like indeed that I am going to Morocco next week.

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

Wishlist reviewed

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.

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.
