All The Lonely People

I'm pretty obviously taking a break from the day-in day-out blogging. I needed a break after that one night (not to mention I wanted everyone to get a chance to listen to the mix.) I listened to it all the way through the other day and I like it. Hopefully I'll find some other stuff to make another soon. I'd like to say that it can be a weekly thing, but realistically, I think bi-weekly is the absolute best I will have time to do.

I was and am still listening to the newest Deathcab album (about which I heard very low reviews[I guess I can understand why]) cause it's raining and I've never listened to it all the way through. It has a good feel to it so far and I will say that it's pretty likable. Lets go with... 6 of 10 for a more precise approach. It's not that I think it's better than 60% of any comprehensive albums I've heard (well it might be since I've been exposed to so many horrible albums), but for the genre and purpose, I think it creates what they hoped it would. Best song is certainly Your New Twin Sized Bed which, to me is a reverberation of what The Sound of Settling was (which, if anyone thought was a happy song, was not)

The purpose of this rant was really to say that loneliness can sometimes be this crushing, inebriating force that will demolish any positivity desire to continue the search. I haven't figured out what triggers it; sometimes it might be being physically alone, but often times it can hit with an entourage of acquaintances or even friends around. Kinda makes you want to give up, huh? If anyone's figured it out tell me.

Bonus: On a lighter note, my random itunes play got me this which is from one of the best rainy day albums (One Day I'll Be On Time) made in my opinion. Asleep - The Album Leaf
