How can two guys in robot helmets bring me so much joy? Daft Punk's Human After All album has really captured my love of electronic music. I hum the songs to myself for hours after actually listening to them. My goal is to sing along to the words in the song Technologic and to make it my personal anthem.I bought Daft Punk's Discovery CD when it came out while I was in high school. Bought on a whim after someones suggestion. "It would really develop your taste for techno", the suggestion boasted.
At that point I disliked most of techno, seeing it only as flaky and cheesy repeated sound. I guess I really didn't understand the musics ability to mesmerize. When I first listened to Discovery, I found the silly sounds and vocals contained within to grate on some mental block I had. "Oh man, listen to how silly this sounds, this isn't cool at all." Hours later I was still humming the song to One More Time. Discovery has been in my collection ever sense. It was the first CD to be ripped into my MP3 player. Also the first to be rated in iTunes. Important music that is.
Its freezing in my apartment as the first winter storm hit Iowa last night. My truck doors were frozen shut this morning, forcing me to use my ice scraper as an ice pick. I have mixed feelings about the winter. The chill that hits to the bone is very unpleasant, but the white and enclosing blanket the snow leaves behind is very calming. Breath in the cool crisp air and ask yourself how could air ever be labeled crisp. Then realize that it is the perfect descriptive word for that air.
I like to hang on thoughts like that before I dive back into the more stress filled word in which I live. Today was really bad too.
Crap, I think I'm getting sick.
