It’s been a weird couple of weeks recently. It’s strange to learn about the things that affect you, that really shake you up. The problem is that they can be the littlest thing in the world, in areas of your life you thought you had already dealt with, but for whatever reason they sneak up on you and rocks your world a little. It’s during these times that I turn to music and remember why music holds such importance in my life.
At any rate, during this past couple of weeks, I’ve really been listening to two bands, Joanna Newsom (look here and here) and this one, Carissa’s Wierd (look here). For whatever reason, these bands have really offered solace and comfort to me. I have no idea why these bands, at this time, have given me what I needed, I’m just glad that they do. Unfortunately, Carissa’s Wierd is no longer and much of their back catalogue is hard to find or unavailable.

They do exist in a different form, Band of Horses, and that’s very good as well.

Joanna Newsom, while not ‘my thing’, has been helping me keep my shit together these past few weeks as well.
