Closing One Door, Opening Another Two

If anybody is actually keeping track, I’ve seriously failed at keeping my tumble blog alive and well. I did not feed her. I did not water her. She died. Actually, I killed her. This morning, in fact.

But! Hope remains. In a last ditch attempt to make a clean break and a fresh start, or any other idiom for that matter, I’ve recently registered on Wordpress and Twitter. You can now follow my tweets here and view my journal here. Twitter’s function is, I think, a given. But for wordpress (although this is a very vague, cloudy vision) I plan to basically keep an objective, rather impersonal diary of readings, listenings, speculations, and adventures, with minimal multimedia. I’m quite exciting about it! So check it out!

All Best!

Music

So after almost a year since any new artist, album, or song has touched my ears or my hard drive, I have spent the last three days completely overhauling my music library. This has been made possible by my new laptop’s 500GB hard drive, a 17-fold increase over my last laptop’s hard drive, which had been full to the brim for over a year. Needless to say I am SO relieved, excited, mind-expanded, and cool-factor-boosted to finally be in touch with current, GOOD music again. Here’s a list of just a few of the 25-odd albums I’ve just downloaded/bought…

The Acorn - No Ghost

Animal Collective- Sung Tongs

Beirut - Realpeople Holland

Bon Iver - Blood Bank EP

Broken Bells - Broken Bells (The Album)

Devendra Banhart - Nino Rojo

Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros - Self Titled Album

Grizzly Bear - Veckatimest

Here We Go Magic - Pigeons

Local Natives - Gorilla Manor

Mumford & Sons - Sigh No More

Wilco - Wilco (The Ablum)

Check ‘em out!!

Maybe I should start posting again? Yes, I should start posting again.
