It’s been a while, friends. I have become busy. A couple personal things, and then an admission of weakness will follow.
I have been spending more time busy and less time alone. It has rallied my spirits. Things have changed a bit… I have a mobility with my car. I have a roommate again. I have some regularity to my life. Monotony, but not necessarily in a bad sense.
I also have a radio show. That’s right, you can hear me Sunday nights from 8-10pm on WMHB 89.7 FM. There’s a live webstream at wmhb.orgif you’re not in the central maine area. My show is called Aerin After Dark. I realize, it’s summer, it’s not exactly dark at 8. But here’s hoping I get to stick around after the summer season has ended, and then it will be dark during my show.
In light of the radio show, I’ve been getting back into music. I’ve been waiting for the day I would be able to really dive back into the new, the unusual and the indie. Finally that day has arrived. A sigh of relief, for sure.
And finally, an admission of weakness. Not a new admission, though. I have a severe weakness for music.
I didn’t say it was going to be exciting.
But it has been quite a while since I have gotten chills from listening to a song. And here I stand, chilled. The new Sigur Ros single, Gobbledigook, is the culprit. I can’t explain why, and I doubt you’d expect me to try. But something about the melodic chanting and the heavy, almost tribal drum beats sends shivers through me. You can get it for the price of $0.00 here. I highlyrecommend a download and a listen, preferably in a quite room on some good headphones, or on a sunny day drive with the windows down.
That’s all I had, I guess. Feels good to be chilly.
