I woke up energized and feeling awesome. It seems I have found the perfect balance when I get 6 hours of sleep a night, so I'll shoot for that from now on. This fine morning I have decided I am going to wake and bake and spend the day reading Pillars of the Earth...until I have to go out with Rutman at 3ish. But I have a few good hours to read in there.
I just received The XX's debut album in the mail because I have been obsessed with them since first hearing Crystalised by them last week. This album is fantastic....so eerie and soft and melodic and amazing. I love how in pretty much every song the male and females voices join, and their voices just fit so perfectly together. Definitely seeing potential for this band to become one of my favorites. I have been getting into so much great new music lately. I love times when I am finding tons of new stuff, but I also love the dry spells where I don't find anything new but spend all my time listening to old favorites. Like yesterday, and my quality time spent with The Decemberists. Don't worry I won't get started on them again, I got it out of my system yesterday.
Ahhh Fantasy by The XX just came onto the album, probably one of the best songs. I love how it begins with the male just talking with an eerie sound placed above his voice, and then it breaks down into this amazing mesmerizing break...ahhhhh it's so good.
And Basic Space RULES MY LIFE. It's so sexy. It's so beautiful. Man The XX is getting me all hot and bothered before I even have had breakfast. The last line of the girl repeating "I can't let it out. I still let you in" is the high point of the song. Pretty relatable to me too (hah very relatable). God every single god damn song of theirs is just perfection, I'm convinced of it. I love English bands. Well raisin toast is calling me, perhaps with some chocolate milk. I'm off to listen to the XX, and schmoke and joke, and read. Until later, blogstah.
