sometimes music makes my life beautiful. sometimes it's horribly distracting (because of its beauty). like this morning, when i'm shuffling in my seat at the goodness of these tunes. i've been tidying up itunes (oh yeah, probably mentioned that, my new neurosis. must... have... order.) in doing so, i've been listening to long gone, and newly discovered, songs. currently it's this:
for which i have to thank miranda after our music swap of a few weeks ago. i sort of missed the boat with the stone roses, but oh, how similar they are to the pains of being pure at heart, a current obsession. jangly goodness.
though for some time now i've been comparing them to the hummingbirds. and perhaps listening to more of each as a result. the hummingbirds is a vinyl experience (since last year's $2 purchase of a signed copy of love buzz), and the pains are a common ipod experience giving my walking journeys a nice tempo, lifting me 40cm from the pavement, i glide along.
of course, these bands are different and their music spans 3 decades and 3 continents. if i knew anything about the science of music i'd probably be able to articulate why they give me the same sort of kick. for now i'll just put it down to jangly goodness. i buzz. i float. i die. it's so distracting.
