Sharing


Acts 4:32 "All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had."

Can you imagine living like that? Everything you have being everyone else's too? Where does "building your little fortune/nest egg/kingdom" fit into that? It doesn't.

Well, we can dream...

I get nervous

Moody, dark atmosphere. Pulsing rhythm. Yeah!

Califone

Another record with a lovely, comforting texture to it. Plus, home to my favorite song ever - the Psychic TV cover, "the Orchids."

The Burbs



Can't get enough of this right now. Strong songs. There are some ones that are easy to get to, but many of their songs have to creep up on me.

I'm starting to listen to full albums again. What does that say about my mental health?

Peter Wolf Crier



Couldn't get this album outta my ears for about a week straight.

Sufy-Suf



Sufjan - Age of Adz. Always pushing things forward.

The War On Drugs - Future Weather




Kurt Vile's Band. Deserves a listen. Dude can create a catchy riff.

Bon Iver So Much Soul



Maybe my fave album ever. It's a mood, not just some songs. It has texture through and through.
