Perhaps it is ill conceived to start a music blog now, given the kajillions (approximate) of other things demanding my attention (at this moment i'm starring down the table at about 60 lab write-ups that need to be graded. wahh wahh whahh). But it is music that keeps me sane. It is my therapy, and it is just as important to invest in one's mental health as much as anything else, now isn't it?
My motivation? Well life, at least the way I perceive it, is a raucous din of jubilation, consternation, anticipation, frustration, etc. and it can be difficult to address all of these emotions at once, especially since they each seem to demand center stage! So, just as the elderly have a cabinet full of treatments for what ails 'em, say Viagra for vertility or Ginkgo biloba to help them remember to take the Viagra, I have found that there is a tune out there that can remedy each one of life's impromptu dealings, and from what I have heard from you, friends, is that you dig the way I self-medicate.
My mission statement: I will, with great pleasure, post my flavor of the day/week/month (and all related, accessory information) and I hope that somewhere in this list of 'jams' you find the songs that lift you up, get the party started, tap your toes, indulge your sulking (every now and then), invoke reflection, or help you stop thinking all together (as I often feel I need to do).
Finally, a disclaimer. I am no music expert, I am simply in search of the sounds that ring true for me.
So with papers to grade and rain falling, I am compelled to leave you with a delightfully moody (Live!) piece by Kaki King: So Much for So Little. (While you're at it, play 'Montreal' too..)
