please stay

i am absolutely smitten with this 'chillwave' thing that's going on in teh interwebosphere. the faded, 80's loops are the perfect cure to late April, when you miss summer like an old girlfriend and you couldn't care less about the indoor management rule and the sight of cold precipitation makes you sleepy.

summer heart - please stay

put me on the front line

today has been a bad day.

something about the combination of early-morning court appearances, a perma-headache of epic proportions and new shoes whose primarily design objective seem to be to transform my helpless feet into mulch has made this particular day, out of most days, rather difficult to bear. and it's days like these that make me glad that there are people out there who make good music.

alexander ebert, of magnetic zeros fame, has released a solo project and it is the perfect accompaniment to 'one of those days' - soulful, sometimes cheerful and sometimes mellow, and all around authentic, his brand of modern folk is just the ticket.
