Pitch Black Mornings
It was a very difficult drive this morning. I felt like I was in space. My eyelids gave up before I had entered Tumalo. I chose to begin my "music weekly marathon" today and it's possible the soothing, repetitious sounds sent signals toward my eyes to shut, or the lonely darkness that followed me from car start to lock.
My goal, for the next year, is to listen to a specific album for an entire week. Whether in the car, with headphones, on stereo, or LP (preferably as many mediums as possible), I want to rediscover my favorite albums (possibly songs) and give a chance to albums I may have written off too soon. This week I am digesting Boards of Canada's Music Has The Right To Children.
I bought this album in the early autumn of 2006 and struggled with every listen I engaged in. First off, it's a lengthy piece of music. Secondly, I never desired to spend time hearing it. I only purchased it because I thought I had to like it (a frequent mistake I still make). This album is not enjoyable like Belle & Sebastian are enjoyable. Rather a think piece, comprised of textures, hip-hop beats and ambiguous ideas. I find myself gravitating more to it than in the past, but dark morning drives may not be the proper environment for it.
