I'm moving to a new apartment in less than a month, very excited about that! I'll have a roommate so that will be different. There are many things about this apartment and neighbourhood that I won't miss. Probably the only thing I will miss is the nice vegan/gluten-free/organic bakery which opened a few months ago around the corner. I can still visit the bakery, just not quite as often.

I've also been starting to get back into making music, and I'm really digging Ableton Live. Never used any other software or hardware that feels so fluid and easy for getting down ideas and jamming. More news on that front when there's sounds to share.

This song makes me go real fast on the exercise bike:

Nearly two months into my awesome new job. Spring and summer can't come soon enough.

In other news, silly is sexy, and youarelisteningtolosangeles.com is great background music.

RIP Mark Linkous aka. Sparklehorse.

One of my favourite songwriters of all time and a huge influence on me musically.

It's a sad and beautiful world.

I've got a bit of a different (for me, anyway) entry coming up, but in the meantime...

Y'all enjoy good tunes. Glad to see it.

Two mentions of Grizzly Bear. Their new album is really neat, I'm hoping to pick it up soon.

Actually, at the moment I'm listening to Yellow House (Grizzly Bear's second album).

For those of you who are digging Grizzly Bear's latest, I'd recommend you lend an ear to DM Stith. When I first heard Veckatimest, it's what came to mind. It took me a while to warm up to DM Stith. Decidedly very quirky, but there's a depth there that keeps me coming back.



I could talk about music forever.

Here's some of the stuff I've been listening to in the past little while...
