Moon Safari is a great album.... The newest Death Cab album is amazing. I'm not 100% sure I'm going to love it as much as 'Plans' but it'll still be one of my favourite albums this year.

The newest Death Cab album is amazing. I’m not 100% sure I’m going to love it as much as ‘Plans’ but it’ll still be one of my favourite albums this year.

I still much prefer it to searching through iTunes. Though I confess that all my hard earned (through working in the local hairdresser) and saved up (pocket money) got spent on dance classes and all the shoes needed for it...wasn't until my student days when my dancing days were finished that music I guess filled the gap that dancing once had...perhaps because I resonated with certain tunes to choreograph to. I needed to find the rhythm and the words to fully immerse myself in the dance because it all mattered. I remember spending hours choreographing to Air's Moon Safari album...after a student teacher created one of our exam routines to 'Ce Matin La'... Love Death Cab, and just wondered your opinion on the album you bought, as I've not heard it yet...??? PS I found your blog thru TheStateThatIAmIn!

I spent hours in my teenage years browsing through stacks of dusty vinyl in record shops memorising track listings and artwork for records I would never even buy. My hard earned money from paper rounds and cutting neighbours grass or working in the bakery of the local convenience store seemed precious and I wanted to buy records that I would invest as much time and thought into as I would my cash. Music seems so disposeable now and I sometimes wonder if folks ten or fifteen years older than the teenage me felt the music I loved was more disposeable than the stuff they had liked in their teenage years. Lately, I've managed to get along and see a few gigs by artists whose work I have loved for years. Nothing quite touches those moments of lapping up someone actually delivering their musings and songs live. It’s so true.
