Day 3: Music is life

I almost forgot. again. but I caught it with enough time to react and write something, thank peaches. I was listening to alot of music today, when I was riding to school, in class through the sneaky sleeve method(if you don't know you're missin out), and when I got on my grooveshark account while I was facebooking. As if someone "cosmic" force knew I was feeling especially "musical" today, I got asked the strangest question the other day, "Do you like Music?"... After digesting this question I came to a conclusion; You can like music that I find to be pure crap, I'm good with that. But if you don't like music at all, we cant be friends. Seriously, what do you do while you study, fill out your W2's, or travel for god sake? Listen to NPR the whole time?(Mad love to All Things Considered, that's my shit) The truth is everyone has a soundtrack to there life, whether you want it that way or not.
     While still peeved at the notion of anti-musicists, I came to realize today that I've been missin' out. Florence and the machine is utterly amazing. The calm woody sound of her voice is relaxing and evocative at the same time. I listened to a couple scattered songs from the LP "Lungs". the first song that I heard was "Dog Days are Over", I fell in love with the light initial strumming in the intro followed by the semi-bombastic title lines and chorus. the whole album, as I later pursued, is carried by her holistic tone and free flowing unpredictability that puts you in the mood to run around like a hippie idiot and not give a shit who was watching. One of the best tracks was "Howl", its folk feel sways the body and taps into an animalistic vibe that seems natural no matter how many times you listen to it. "Lungs" as a whole has something for anyone who appreciates a lyricist and the eclectic mixture of booming accompaniment and soft subtle guitar play. I feel a twitch of lame come over me for not hearing this earlier, but still happy I found it when I did.

In the theme of the night I'm havin', I had a music based idea. I just hope I'll get to use it someday.
