I heart afternoon-driving-in-the-fall music, like this song, for example.
Not my favorite of theirs, but their YouTube selection was limited. They've got some really pretty songs. Their album, "Moo You Bloody Choir" has become a favorite of mine for "making breakfast" music.

Hmm.
Minnesota Public Radio playlists have got me thinkn....
You can find the perfect song in the oddest places if you just google correctly, take a few chances and make a few wrong clicks. i'll probably never listen to these songs again, but that's okay. Jenny Dalton's "Married to the Sea" is working for now, and of course the damn song isn't on her MySpace.
She's okay, i guess. That other song was kind of haunting, these are kind of poppy.
But hey! Minnesota Public Radio!! Now i know where to go for entertainment.

The Internet is a funny thing....Never did I think approx. eight years of dialoguing and communicating and advertising myself through online means would become so vital to the way I live now.
So many embarrassments over the years--Myspaces, facebook posts, journals, profiles, whatever.
Damn you, archive.org!! You're a chronology of our adolescent/high school years, and lots of old photos.
Whatever. This:
DJ Shadow-What Does Your Soul Look Like
Preemptive Strike
I can't find a file anywhere, but it is on iMeem if you're a member. Album only purchases on last.fm and iTunes if you are members of either listening service (worthitworthitworthit).
shut the lights off close your eyes and breathe and listen.
walk around when it's raining, drive when it's raining night.
....aaaaand I'm out.

Radiohead Song of the Week??
The Gloaming (Softly Open Our Mouths in the Cold) off of Hail to the Thief.
Such an awesome song. Such an awesome word--gloaming. I don't know what it means, but I know exactly how it sounds and how it feels--shadowy, dark, foreboding and lurking from point a to point b. The song warrants a listen for even non-Radiohead fans (which really, pretty much everyone should be by now in one way or another). Even if it's just because it's a great example of how much energy a song can capture with relatively simple choices.
Whatever. Just listen to the damn song, especially if you can find a decent live clip. Now I'm listening to "Silver Spring" anyway, because it's been at least two weeks.
