If I Go to Gloucester You Know I Will Wait There for You

Newly obsessed, I've been listening to Ra Ra Riot constantly for the past few days. It's kind of ridiculous the way I do this periodically, just live inside a CD and let it color all of my experiences for an amount of time. That's why certain music is tied so tightly to different periods in my life I guess. I can't even listen to some songs anymore, not because I stopped loving them, but because I was probably unhappy or having a manic hour when I loved it the first time.

But anyway, Ra Ra Riot is amazing. It's kind of like Vampire Weekend with a strong thoughtful undercurrent. A dancy-catchy component is paired with a really super-literate, emotional element and it's almost perfect. There are violins involved, people. Dancy violins. I don't know either, but it's magical.



I'm really looking forward to Novelin' November. It will be good to have a project to dip my head into for a while. Also, I'm having nightmares about elevators all the time. Like, weekly at least. Last night it was going up up up really fast and the screen that tells you which floor your passing was flashing different numbers and different symbols, it was out of control. It finally slowed enough for me to jump off , but man. Scary stuff. Any analysts out there?

Monday.
