Day 37 - "Madness" - Muse

Never been a Muse fan, but I dig this song. Especially with the windows down and a crisp fall night drive home.

Day 27 - "The Rockefeller Skank" - Fatboy Slim

My first UA Zips soccer game tonight with my always fun friend Sarah. Game ended in a tie, but I had a blast. There's nothing like sports on a college campus in the fall.

The 33 Project: Day 24

Day 24 - "Wolf Like Me" - TV On The Radio

I overestimated the amount of daylight I had left to do my walk/hike tonight and missed my trailhead entrance. By the time I found it, it was dark in the woods. I don't think my scardy cat self ever ran so fast up a hill. And this song floated into my head. Oh my adventures on this national park that is my home...

The 33 Project: Day 20

Day 20 - "Holocene" - Bon Iver

I fell in love with this song when it came out last year. It kicks off the playlist that I attempt to fall asleep to every night. I just love the opening line "someway, baby, it's part of me, apart from me."

But recently I discovered their set from Coachella and it gave me a new appreciation of the song. How well the band recreates the sound live...how many instruments and voices it takes to make this song come together and really the little nuances, like how how the three guitarists step up to the mic and sing, and then step back in unison...how Justin Vernon gets a little groove going that doesn't exist in the recorded version. I'm going to honor both versions here, but I encourage everyone to spend 53 minutes watching this set. Such amazing musicianship...compositions more than songs, if that makes sense.

Holocene can be found about 10 minutes in:


And here in the recorded version, you get the amazing imagery that goes along with it as provided by the Discovery Channel
