11/18 - The Random Minor Note You Hear In Major Songs

It has been a while. The while was spent on delightful weekends in Norway and Glasgow. Now I can finally sum the while up in music:

Damien Jurado - Ohio

With the full length windows open. Waterfalls cascading down the cliffs behind the house. Bergen spread out below us. Robin put on a classic. We had what's considered a good view. A view of the landscape. A view of time. A view on friendship and longing and places where one could potentially live. It's been a long time. A real long time.

Vampire Weekend - M79

Kelvingrove Park when it's sunny in Glasgow makes me warm and gooey inside. And if spring paints a pretty picture, Vampire Weekend's M79 is the perfect instagram filter to boost its warm tones.

Charm your way across the Khyber Pass

Janelle Monáe - I Like That

As if it wasn't already clear what the album of the year was gonna be...

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - The Ballad of Robert Moore and Betty Coltrane

Compelling and propelling badassery.

Cosmo Sheldrake - Come Along

Alright, the scene has been set. Now, summer. Now, adventures. Now, take me away from the humdrum!
