My soul, on again.

Song of the day from album of the week.

I really love all my music memories that revolve around the music of The Sea And Cake: summertime 1994 - as a young fella, living in Milwaukee, but nosing around Chicago; summertime 1997 - in Portland, living in a musical household with all my friends, hanging out, being creative slackers; and again, summertime 2011 - back in Chicago, this time with my lovely wife and making new friends.
The Sea And Cake has always felt timeless/out of time to me.
Love this about them.
Here's to warm, happy days again.
Finally.

You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world. I'll give you anything, everything, if you want things.

Just a little shout-out to my new jam - adding to my collection of bikes - a 2011 Trek Belleville.

Aside from being pretty and a great/functional commuter, it's actually super green (see this story: http://bit.ly/lvldSE).
I've also since put a lovely beat-up Brooks saddle on it, though this picture is before I did that, right after I bought it and rode it home.

Here's to the power and enjoyment of two-wheeled human kinetics.

If you say it right, I'll be right on time.

What starts out like some unearthed Motown track then quickly takes a turn toward an Animal Collective/Panda Bear/Beach Boys vibe.
As such, this young Kentucky band most certainly deserves my decree of song of the day from album of the week.
Enjoy.

If I have gone away, don't worry, it is only forever.

What do you get when you take members of Hot Chip + Spiritualized + This Heat and have them record a full album over the course of one day at Abbey Road?
You get the song of the day from album of the week.

Exiled in us we arouse the soft, unclenched, armless, silk and rough love that breaks all rocks.

Listening to a new Radiohead album is always a very special experience for me.
It marks a moment in time that will then grow throughout my days.
With repeated listens, it's like the sudden smell of something loved that has been lost and now remembered again.
An immediate, sentimental journey - sunlight through a window, the sound of a friend's voice, a word, a meal, a wish.
And this new album is now here upon us. 
So I'm just letting it wash over and coat me in new and soon-to-be old memories.
