music to sleep with
i've been busy writing a lot at work. which always results in a lack of blog writing. one can only write for so long before the carpel tunnel kicks in. actually i self diagnosed my carpel tunnel as a foosball injury. given that i had been playing at least 3 games a day at work and 2 games a day at home. being busy with work also means that one of the best times to write blogs is before bed. and that's what time it is, bedtime. so here's some music i sleep with.
unwed sailor: back in the summer of 2003 i made an amazing trip out to cornerstone festival. the unwed sailor set was in the middle of a hot sunny day. but the audience was shaded by a large tent. i was exhausted from a mosh pit, and just crashed in the grass while listening to the unwed sailor set. now whenever i hear it, i'm brought back to that summer day in the grass and i crash just the same.
sigur ros: i first heard of sigur ros in my freshman year of college. but i didn't start sleeping with them until this past spring. i had just finished driving people home in the punk rock van from a church spring retreat. driving and the retreat made me tired. hope was the last person i was dropping off, and i stuck around for dinner with her and riley. the spring breeze was blowing through the window, and sigur ros was playing on the computer. i just passed out. on the couch. some time passed. hope and riley yelled at me until eventually i woke up. they fed me hot dogs. it was great.
the winston jazz routine: just their name practically puts me to sleep, it's so beautiful. i just discovered this band a couple months ago and i'm glad i did. no real memorable story yet except that they sing me to sleep almost every night.
hopefully this music will help others sleep too. goodnight.
