This Future Islands tune is so fucking sweet. Like Sunday-happy-morning-time sweet. Off their On the Water LP. Out since October, we've all been lagging. Sit back and relax now. You've got contentment on your hands. Every little thing is gonna be all right.
I moved. I like the scenery. While settling in, I stumbled upon this appropriate gem: RAC's mix of Washed Out's "New Theory."
Stick around folks and read my old blogspot entries below, gloriously unformatted.
You can expect more style and less substance from here on out!
Call it an off day, hell, an off week.
There's been a handful of new-ish to new tracks I've been wanting to get stoked on enough to post here, but I'm at a loss.
I'm absolutely broke (yet fabulous!) so no outstanding events this weekend to report on. To top it off, the weather sucks. You know, in that way only a Bay Area summer can suck it up, where you wonder, "this is what it must be like living in Seattle year-round."
It's cool, we're still in California folks (well, at least us fortunate ones), so there's that.
Here's an ode to the feeling, to the near rarity, of a warm San Francisco night.
Tomorrow night.
"I never had the chance to write about the rooftop in Brooklyn. It was perfect in that after a whole day of sufficiently getting wasted, John's rooftop seemed like the best place to be of all time. This was the New York I'd been imagining for eons; with the M train's hum echoing along its elevated tracks and the Manhattan skyline hanging brightly in the western sky. I called my sister and left a drunkenly laughable, yet sincere voicemail. I had fallen in love, I said - with these people, with this place. With my youth.
I hung up and stood quietly - the moment was wholly mine. I'm nostalgic for that night more than any other in my entire life."
Been listening to GEMS for months - and now obsessed with this extended edit of their best track, "Medusa."
