i’ve been a good little boy. i think.
my music-ploration has led to much awesome music and many cool bands. one of the more important (in my mind) has been Death Cab For Cutie. I started listening from the beginning albums and making my way forward in their discography. Things were going pretty good; i was starting to get into the music.
then one of my bandmates turned me on to Plans. that album changed everything. i could not, and can not get enough of that album. one of purposes for this blog is to review some of these more important albums. i guess i just added one to the list. anyway, recently i’ve discovered Transatlanticism which i also now love.
i’ve been eyeing their latest release Narrow Stairs since before christmas. i think i’ve been afraid that it won’t be as good as i want it to be. well no more fear, it’s sitting on my desk, it’s been ripped to my ipod, and it’s going in my ears tomorrow morning on the way to work.
i love really listening to an album for the first time; a little ritual. it’s a memory association–who i was with, where i was, where i was in my life for that matter. some albums remind me of road trips, others of sitting in my basement with all the lights turned out. so it’s memory making time–imprint away brain! i suppose this post commits me to a follow up of some kind. so be it!
