Music & Musings - We Fell

Sitting by a large window at Aroma Espresso Bar with a mini red velvet cupcake and perfectly crafted cappuccino, distracted by the fluffy snowflakes and happy people passing by. I've been listening to S. Carey's 'all we grow' on repeat ever since I saw him play back in mid-December. The lush harmonies and layered instrumentation on his record are so beautiful, you really must have a listen.

Music & Musings: Working Late edition

 

Listening to Neil Halstead's Oh! Mighty Engine and working on some tedious reading/coding in preparation for a research meeting tomorrow morning. Today was full day of inspiring talks & discussion and I have a lot of ideas simmering in my head regarding my own research interests and goals (must work on those grad apps!). It's been quite a while since I've listened to this record but Neil's voice always helps me calm down and relax, so I can put thoughts & ideas down on paper before they disappear into the deep recesses of my mind (don't you hate it when that happens?).

Music & Musings

Drinking my new favourite tea* (Revitalise from Pukka: Cinnamon bark, ginger root, cloves and black pepper, elderflowers, orange peel!!), making plans with Amanda to attend the oneofakind show later this week, and listening to her favourite record of the moment: The Crackling's Keep Full Ambitions. It is the perfect soundtrack to accompany a cold, rainy night, and makes writing research statements quite pleasant, actually. Thanks Kenton, for the lovely tunes!  

*I've thought about changing the title of these posts to music, musings & tea. Yes, I drink exorbitant amounts of tea and enjoy hoarding it as well :)

Music & Musings: Sick at Home edition

Sipping on homemade 'cold be gone' tea (lots of grated ginger, lemon, honey) and listening to the wonderful debut LP, Mount Chimaera, from Brasstronaut. Something about it is so comforting & familiar, and manages to inspire me to accomplish whatever needs to be done (at this particular moment: get over this malaise/cold and work on grad apps). 

Music & Musings

Listening to Alexi Murdoch on the Away We Go soundtrack, looking at pretty vintage clothing on etsy, and sipping some tasty vanilla rhubarb tea.

Music & Musings

Reminiscing about springtime picnics and enjoying cup of hot 'Bedtime' tea while listening to The Lighthouse and the Whaler's self-titled LP (perfect spring music!).
