Old Favs, New Music

I've been feeling a little deprived of new music where I feel that heart-leaping connection. It's a rare gift to find. This week, I've noticed some of my old favs released some new music. Very nice.

William Fitzsimmons - I Had To Carry her (Virginia's Song)


Gregory Alan Isakov - All Shades of Blue


Jose Gonzalez - Every Age
Third song in his NPR Tiny Desk Concert

these days...
poison & wine, the civil wars
bon iver, bon iver (reminds me of this out-of-this-world morning at the cemetary)
cosmic love, florence + the machine

friday morning thots 2/11/11

i woke up in 2005.

there was a catalytic moment that sparked a desire - no, more like a desperation - to change.

six years later, i'm sitting here in the most beautiful space (physical & internal)...grateful.

really really grateful. i feel as though i'm finally getting more comfortable in my skin, accepting every part of me, not just the good stuff or an exaggerated emphasis on the bad stuff.

....

i'm spending the day to be in this accepting space, reflect on this journey that i've been on, and sort through photographs i've taken over the past three years that capture this process. i'm working on a special project that i hope to share with y'all this spring.

...

on a side note, i've been listening to this song by james vincent mcmorrow called "and if my heart should somehow stop" all week on repeat (call me obsessive). might you take a moment to check out his website and if you feel compelled, support his work?

joyous friday-ing friends.

sunrise at a cemetary.

"this has got to be the weirdest thing any of us has ever done."
- bon iver, hollywood forever cemetery, 9/27/09

why go to a normal show, when i could camp out at a cemetery all night to watch bon iver at sunrise?

it was unlike anything i've ever experienced.
imagine....hundreds of us waited all night to hear this & this.

and when he started playing this, chills went down my entire body and back up and out of every pore.

& not to mention the special guest appearance by megafaun.

money. time. & energy well spent.
inspired.
