Faune has released a new album entitled Planetaire (on Pathmusick, of course). He has again pushed the envelope on beautiful ambient music... or perhaps I could call his work 'anti-ambient' because it definitely requires one's attention to catch all the small details of each movement. There is a bit more rhythm to the set than his normal works, ( Read more... )

...scarcely has it been swept clear when it's once more covered with dry leaves.'

I haven't written anything in a while, so I think I should now.

A few days ago I stumbled across this futuristic mix by a netlabel called SubSource (which looks to be defunct). The majority of the tracks are exclusive to the set, which is pretty rare as far as ( Read more... )

Last night, I drank the most amazing black-currant tea while watching Thanksgiving / Mt. Eerie perform at a coffee-shop.

It is finally feeling like something other than summer. The temperature never reached much above 40 yesterday, which is a fairly drastic switch from lows in the 60's. I finally had occasion to wear some cashmere and my long coat, so I hardly noticed it. I am lacking in the glove department, though. The only downside to this is my car seems to ( Read more... )

Last weekend's soccer matches turned out well. The evening was somewhat chilly, and the temperature has been slowly declining since. I didn't spend any time warming up or cooling down, and paid with a new level of muscle fatigue. It only took a few days to recover, but the pain was more intense than that from any workout I can remember. Once I' ( Read more... )

I've been totally jamming to this track by Quinn. The heavy 5/4-4/4 kick makes me want to dance, and the regal synths get me into future-mode. Throw in a little electro on the side, and we have a winner. Delsin does it again ( Read more... )

The Nada Surf show was pretty incredible, but the sound for Sparklehorse was so terrible I had to leave after four songs. The bus ride back to my car was eventful... some Asian kid was looking pretty blitzed, and then began spitting on the floor, which eventually led to a fair bit of puking. He was cognizant enough to get off of the bus when the ( Read more... )
