...time for music

Today was an interesting one...and that's about all I have to say about it.

I'm still a little all over the map so I'm going to simply post up some tunes that I started listening to...again-and admittedly, *hearing* them for the first time.  When chaos breaks out, I like to get *lost* in something a little different.  These songs are my mental salvation for now...


"Three Days In A Row" by Anouk-...It's an amazing tune from a woman who doesn't sound like what I thought a Dutch woman would in song.  Kind of like stuff Adele might sing if she was a bit 'deeper' and less 'commercial'.  Anouk is growing on me-but I'm a bit late...like showing up at Christmas with my Spider Man costume on.


"It's Enough Now" by Mandalay-...This song never gets old.  And every time I hear it, the meaning changes just a little.  Maybe that's the way it's supposed to be...

"A&E" by Goldfrapp-...I first heard a Goldfrapp song while viewing "SonicVision" at the Adler Planetarium.  I wound up watching the show on two different visits just so I could get enough of the song to use the Google to find it.

"Roads" by Portishead-...Beth Gibbon's voice is, well, haunting and emotive.  Exactly what the music and story need to be this good.  I have never heard a bad Portishead song...they are only one of a handful of groups for which I state that opinion.  The rest of them have a few good songs and a lot of mediocre songs.  This is one band I've never seen but would love to see someday.

...that is all.
