Edie Brickell & New Bohemians: Circle
“And being alone is the, is the best way to be
When I’m by myself it’s the best way to be
When I’m all alone it’s the best way to be
When I’m by myself, nobody else can say goodbye”

The Bar Brothers: Old Mythologies
“It’s probably now that I need you the most
When I’m one half child and the other ghost
And one of ’em wants to pull you close
And the other to let you go”
Josh Ritter: Girl in the War
“Paul said to Peter, ‘You got to rock yourself a little harder
Pretend the dove from above is a dragon and your feet are on fire'”
Mipso: Moonlight
“I’m not a bird with a broken wing
I just felt like walking for a while
Such a shame to race through a pretty night”

I Am Robot and Proud: Bird at Sunrise
I’ve been a longtime fan of I am Robot and Proud, but shamed to say I haven’t been an active supporter. Until now, as I purchased the latest album on Vinyl.
I was re-listening to older albums over the holidays (November), and realized I wanted an album I could hold in my hands. It took a while for shipping, but it was worth it.
Vampire Weekend: Harmony Hall
“Anger wants a voice
Voices wanna sing
Singers harmonize
‘Til they can’t hear anything”
Dr. Dog: My Old Ways
“Some things never change
Or go away
I wait around
And now it’s yesterday”
Open Reel Ensemble: Tape Bowing Ensemble
This is from a Japanese experimental music collective known as Open Reel Ensemble. It’s a song/piece entitled Tape Bowing Ensemble, and it’s played on a JIGAKKYU (a long strip of magnetic tape, connected to a bamboo bow).
Van Halen: Get Up
I remember being given a copy of the album 5150 by David Crook. I think this was in middle school. The album was dubbed on a cassette – specifically a Memorex transparent cassette.
I am Robot and Proud: The Electricity in Your House Wants to Sing
I’ve been revisiting I am Robot and Proud lately. I got into this artist’s music a long while ago, and mostly fixated on the two albums I purchased. But never really dipped back in.
They’ve been producing music ever since, and I’ve enjoyed browsing around in Spotify, listening.
Yngwie Malmsteen: Rising Force
“The lightning, strikes cracking the night
It feels like never before
Thunder and spark in the heart of the dark
I hear a rising force”
Sarah McLachlan: Adia
“‘Cause we are born innocent
Believe me, Adia, we are still innocent
It’s easy, we all falter
Does it matter?”
The Lowest Pair: Rosie
“I was happy once it was pure and good
But I was young I took it for granted
I misunderstood
If I had your love
I tell you what I’d do
I would kiss those hard-working hands
and I would marry you”
Mipso @ Old Town School of Folk Music
Got tickets to see Mipso at the Old Town School of Folk Music. I happened to see that the band was going on a “Farewell for Now” tour, with the group taking an indefinite break.
It’s tough to hear that the group is no longer going to be together, but perhaps they’ll reunite at some future point. But I’m glad we got seats at their Chicago show, to see them perform one last time.
