Year: 2014
Wmotd, Week 21
Lately, there are two times of day when I listen to music most— early in the morning on my way to an office and late at night trying to concentrate on work or pet projects. Despite being a morning-ish person (in that I like being up early once actually up) I’m not necessarily firing on …
Wmotd, Week 20
“‘Cuz all is fine… Loneliness is just a state of mind…” Whispering at the top of my lungs by Tim Christensen
Wmotd, Week 19
I used to live by a freight train line in college. Later, when I lived in Oakland, trains weren’t too far off either. In fact, Amtrak trains would run down the Embarcadero during the day sometimes (Like this). Later still, I worked across town and had to cross loads of freight tracks to get to …
Wmotd, Week 18
Couldn’t decide on a single track this week, instead here’s Tycho‘s latest LP if you haven’t already heard it.
Triad
Rather like the implied light source of the orange in this. Also always like the triad of blue, orange and red together.
Sun on your shoulder
Last month, this was part of my view. It’s been a few busy weeks since then and about time (overdue, really) to start sharing pictures, I think…especially after torrential rains for the last two days! More soon…
Wmotd, Week 17
It’s a little hard for me to believe that it’s been almost twenty years since this album came out, but it’s still a good one in my book. Looking forward to revisiting this album later this weekend while driving. The Pod by Hum
Wmotd, Week 16
I like to walk. A lot. I like to hike in the woods but also explore the cityscapes on long urban walkabouts. I used to always have headphones on when walking but these days I mix it up— sometimes with headphones, sometimes without simply enjoying the environmental soundtrack. What do I listen to while I …
Wmotd, Week 15
Lately, I’ve turned into a morning person… enjoying the quiet gray of the day before everyone else wakes up and starts making noise. This song has been part of the soundtrack to my morning ritual before heading out the door this week. Tapaa minut aamulla by Regina
Wmotd, Week 14
Broken Circle by Sam Phillips
Wmotd, Week 13
This track has been on quite a bit the last few days while traveling. It’s gonna be a good day…
Wmotd, Week 12
Buffalo by Alt-J
Wmotd, Week 11
It’s been a busy week… Time to take a breath before diving back in.
Ahead
This weekend in America we moved clocks ahead an hour. This generally means the following Monday is full of zombies disoriented and exhausted by what shouldn’t be a big deal but for some reason our bodies just can’t deal with it. Anyway, it’s a new week and at least around here, a sunny-ish one to …
Wmotd, Week 10
So far this month feels like it is ZOOMING… or at least this past week certainly did. This piece is much longer than I share typically, but take a break and listen to it all the way through if you don’t already know the piece— trust me.
Night Sky
Without meaning to, this ended up looking like the night sky, I think. What do you think? What does this look like to you?
Daylight
Last week, the latest round of Spark ended (and once again I participated).* As in the past, that also means that I have a new crop of unpublished iterations to share with you here. The written inspiration piece I was assigned this go-round was more complex than some I’ve gotten in the past and dealt …
Wmotd, Week 9
This song has been stuck in my head lately. February is just about over and it seems to have been a tough month for some of us if nothing else because of the weather. Listening to this track on repeat (as I tend to when I write these weekly posts) a number of things come …
A little rain must fall
Rumor has it it’s supposed to be rainy this weekend. Stay tuned, I guess.
Wmotd, Week 8
Hard to believe it’s the eighth Friday of the year already. In grad school, Fridays often meant taking the train to Stockholm and this album generally reminds me of Sweden. Have a nice weekend, friends.
