new sound

New sound is good for the soul…the right music does things to me I can’t explain. Caught this guy out tonight n he sounds like a keeper-

what I miss most about the dirty south is the music (and the biscuits)…

the thing about the sea

June. 10. 2011

I am my family’s self proclaimed memory keeper, even though I arrived last.

This is Daddy and Aku at the beach, in a world where I didn’t exist, photographed by my very young mother. It’s a strange thought- the world without you in it- perhaps because no memory of it has survived in the stories we are become…even so, it seems to stay afloat whether we drift in or out

I think she was scared of the ocean, even wrapped in a sailor’s arms. So it looks to me they just stood there a while, toes in the sand. And that’s the kind of father mine is. Patient, and ever so gentle, he may just be kindness personified.

Happy coming birthday, Ak…we’re all missing you on it already : )

“The thing about the sea, it’s bigger than you and me,”
goes this beautiful new track, local artists Hope Trust’s throw me overboard

he’s been stuck in my head since Sunday snow…
a string of days can swirl into months sometimes, and caught between seasons you seek solidarity in some obscure resonant soul-

give some, take some, and march on

music makes my world go around…

the thing with having music in your head, is that it makes the world seem irrelevant through the humming…all thanks to Sondre Lerche- give him a listen, willya?

for no particular reason at all…but stuck in my head today!

Cat Power- she’ll twist it up in ways you can’t fathom…

it’s gray and gorgeous in Dallas
and though the rain isn’t here yet
I can smell it seep through my pores

you

“so
