I know I have been MIA for the last few days… Internet has been down and I was out and about for the holiday.

Puma has been much better… She is still limping but putting a lot more weight on it then she was. Making sure she is resting as much as possible, she is a cat so it makes the whole resting thing pretty much like a walk in the park. I am fine but I am contemplating buying new pillows.

A lot to post this week. Starting off with Wilco. First off I must confess, not the biggest fan… Their music has just never really gelled with me… Of course there is always room for the exception. Their sixth album in 2007, Sky Blue Sky seemed to be the strongest to date. Their music grows on me and plants its Americana roots into my musical heart. Now with their seventh full length album, Wilco (The Album) seems to draw from all of their previous works to create some of the most beautiful Americana, folk/pop arrangements that distinctively characterize the music of Wilco. They have really come into their own and I am enjoying every moment of it.

I am feeling quite blue :(

Broken, bruised and tired. We have been falling apart over here. I woke up Monday morning to pain in my neck, I must have slept on it wrong so I have had a dull ache for the last couple of days. Now, Puma is limping… I don’t want to run to the vet but I can’t stand seeing her in pain. I am not really sure what to do… Run to the vet or give it a couple of days? Sigh…

Moby… Dear sweet geeky Moby. Perfect for where I am tonight. His new album Wait For Me takes you on a ethereal carpet ride through the starry night sky. Just beautiful.

I have been completely uninspired… Which explains my absence from the blog. I do apologize but it happens from time to time.

Back to business. I completely missed this album when it came out in February… Sin Fang Bous is a lad who hails from Iceland and boy can he create some kooky, eclectic, indie mixed with traditional pop/folk music. It is really quite fantastic. He takes you on a wonderful trip that will have you dancing, spinning and just enjoying the artistic originality that he puts into his music.

Tonight, I felt it necessary to toast to the one and only “King of Pop”, Michael Jackson. His life should indeed be celebrated. Cheers to you MJ! You will never be forgotten.

And if you do not have at least this album and then well you should go right out and purchase it!

I really don’t have anything to say this evening… I was not ready for this day at all and I am exhausted. All I have is some lovely Inara George…

This album is HOT right now, it is burning up. Normally I wait for the fire to go out, this time I can’t. Veckatimest is a diverse album that takes you to such great heights. It is an album filled with deep beautiful sound drawing from a combination of genres like pop, psychedelic and folk, but put together in pure Grizzly Bear fashion… They manage to balance just the right amount eclectic to create something original and beautiful. You must allow it to fill your ears because if it doesn’t then you need to turn it up, maybe even buy a new sound system. Veckatimest is a well crafted piece of art, stunning and you will most certainly see it on my and many others end of the year lists.

I have laid around like a dead fish for the latter part of the day. I am so lazy and tired because I have been doing nothing for the last 5 hours, hey I have to prepare for the upcoming work week right? So in the spirit of well… nothing… I have decided to close my eyes and press play. Enjoy your Sunday night.

I keep coming back to this album as if it is home, it certainly feels like home. I love Stars but this album especially has always been there for me. Like today… It shuffled on and brought a smile to my face. Play it loud!

I have had a headache off and on for the last 3 days… Not fun. I needed something soothing and relaxing this evening. Zee Avi is a delicious singer-songwriter who was basically discovered via YouTube according to Wikipedia. How awesome is that? Very. She was signed to Brushfire Records and her debut album was just released in May. There are a handful of beautiful tracks and I look forward to listening as her music grows. Just lovely, lovely music.

I am really not feeling very well. I have had a headache for the last couple of days and I am a little nauseous… I will return tomorrow, refreshed and feeling much better I am sure. :-) Good night.
