My favorite answer is why not?

Finding home in myself, a long way from where I started. Looking for beauty in all living things. Seeing the good side. Keeping an ear out for music that lifts me, moves me, shakes and grooves me.

permalink photo by Dominic Santos Last night at Bottom of the Hill…GEOGRAPHER did nothing short of bring the house down. Nathan, Brian & Mike (L to R, as pictured above) took the stage like old pros. They friggin owned the place. Nathan’s specialty is his thick, masterful, melodic, bad-ass cello’ing. Count on Brian for relentless beats on the drum that will have you jumping, tapping and head nodding to the smooth and melty sounds of blended cello, synth and Mike Deni vocals. Mike delivers the lyrics with a calm but potent energy. Confidently crooning, his voice melts like butter on top of the hot drum beats and crisp cello. Myself and everyone else crowded toward the stage shouted for encores. Playing as the meat between the crumbly (stale) slices of bread that were the first and last acts, they respected the order and wrapped according to schedule. Drat. I’m not sure who is booking them, but I cannot wait to see them headlining. Thank goodness my friend Tom happened upon them playing at a Halloween night warehouse party. This music is a true find. http://www.geographermusic.com/ {this is for my liz friend! next time, you are coming with me.}

permalink texturism: love. it can get a little tangled, complicated at times. it can also reveal unreal amounts of goodness. daring to be open to the complicated times means that you’re able to receive the good as well…

This is great.

This is not great: I had Bon Iver tickets a while back, but didn’t feel healthy enough to go that particular night.

Rushing In, Rushing Out — Geographer

Playing tonight at Bottom of the Hill, this band has sweet melancholy vocals and quick synth rhythms that I predict will have me floating just above the floor. Full report on the floating to come.

permalink supersonicelectronic: As if pet owners didn’t already know… This photograph shows a community of apes apparently grief stricken at the sight of one of their elderly members who passed away, Dorothy. Some of the apes looking on are ones that she raised. The normally loud and active apes sat in silence - with their arms on each others shoulders - as Dorothy was buried. Scientists say that in recent years it is becoming more obvious that animals do indeed understand death and mourn the loss of others. Read more here.
