What do you want to see, what did you want to be, when you grew up?

Seeing my friend Hallie, among many things, makes me think of happy, somewhat-tinged-with-melancholy, dreamy music.
The new Atlas Sound album is full of that, in spades.
Especially this track featuring Noah Lennox, aka Panda Bear.

One of my favorite records of the year. Easily.
Big fan of Bradford Cox's music.
And have a listen to his Micromixes.

I get lost in them on subway rides all the time.

With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.

For me, this is the most beautiful album of the year: 
Riceboy Sleeps - Jónsi from Sigur Rós and his partner, Alex.
This track features the only know recording of the last castrato singer.
