It's no relief, it sounds to me, just as sweet.

First-off, I made a nice, albeit small vinyl haul at Other Music today at lunchtime.
Oldies and newies.

Plus I've been listening to a petty darn solid record this afternoon from Delta Spirit.
Seems to be aligned in many ways to Dr. Dog/Cold War Kids/Wilco.
Check this track out.

My heart, slow down. Won't you beat a little slower? But don't stop. Never end your hunting. You'll see I'm lost without your rhythm.

As far as I know, "The Snake" from Wildbirds & Peacedrums has actually been out for sometime now,
but it seems to have gotten some kind of reissue/re-release lately,
which I'm all for, as it was a really tough one to find there for a while.
They're playing a number of times in NYC over the next few weeks,
including a show tomorrow night at Le Poisson Rouge with Deerhoof and next week with Fanfarlo.
"My Heart" is a song of theirs that I completely obsessed on when I working in London last summer.
I used to play it really loudly late at night at my desk
in the Wieden + Kennedy offices when everyone was already gone for the evening.
Oftentimes, it was after I had been out already with all my work mates for a few rounds of pints.
I'd be a little tipsy, turn it up and sing to myself and wonder where my life was headed.

Apocalypse Now (or quite soon)
