And these lyrics from the last, 'Cosmia':
...though I tried so hard my little darling
I couldn't keep the night from coming in
If you couldn't get over Newsom's toenail curling voice from her other stuff, I still think you'd like this EP. It's mellower, yet still distinctive, unusual, and beautiful.
I've also been listening to Pink Floyd's Atom Heart Mother. Azparently this is the album Pink Floyd hate. I like it. Summer '68 is fast becoming my fave PF song, enough to make up for any other weirdness on 'Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast' and the title track. I know, I'm a pretty slack PF fan. Weirdness, that's what they do, right? But I like Summer '68 for its catchy piano and brass sections; I like 'Run Like Hell' (from The Wall) for its blatantly disco beats; I like 'Comfortably Numb' for its... well... I just like it, but it isn't weird.
Is it okay that I don't read books anymore? I'd much rather sit and listen to some good music than read a book (good or otherwise). Oh, well. I guess it'd only make me pseudo-intellectual if I started now.
