Music Monday

Hi.

I've really slowed down my music intake lately. There is a time for everything I assume.

I am also aware that I have absolutely nothing to say today. No thoughts or words come to mind only the noises of a quiet afternoon.

This is Uppermost with their song Beautiful Light:

Until next time...

Time to pause a moment and say: I love spring! This of course is qualified by the fact that I also love summer, fall and winter. The difference is that spring is just beginning and winter is losing its preferential treatment in the northern hemisphere. I love the precedence of constant change set by the earth and I find it interesting that human beings (at least some of us) believe that it is strange to not be consistent, unchanging in mood, appetite, motivation, or ability.

I recently received some good advice from a professor. I asked him how he managed to balance his family, professional, and scholarly careers. He informed me that, to maintain balance, for every one thing I add in to life I must also take one thing out. Its funny how good advice sometimes takes a while to sink in. Its funny how difficult it is to change even though it is necessary.

Its been a while since I've posted anything from Tunng but today seems like a fine day for it.

This is Tunng with "So Far From Here"


Until next time, feel like lions.

Music Monday

I finished another quarter at school and I am greatly enjoying the time I have. After last quarter I felt tired and unmotivated for a long time after the quarter ended. This time around I am hoping for the exact opposite. At the moment I am basking in the springtime sunshine. It may get warmer and it may get colder but right now the sun is shining and I am enjoying it.

Here's a pretty thing. When I'm writing papers I often enjoy music with no words. I'll look for ambient music and music mixes online and I've found some things I greatly enjoy. For instance Rob Viktum's album "Progress: An audio tribute to the Cambodian people." I know nothing of Rob Viktum other than he makes hip/hoppy type music but I found the songs pleasant and interesting and I think a tribute to the Cambodian people is a great way to make an album.

Without further ado here are two songs by Rob Viktum: "4/17/1975" and "Siem Pang"
