Happy and Aloof

I’ve been on a hot streak with music purchases recently. The Unicorns, Halley, The Books, Modest Mouse, songs from Xiu Xiu and Four Tet and the new Mirah have all kept me enthused about music.

Today it’s the new Mirah that’s put a smile on my face. Five songs in and they all match Cold Cold Water in production, lyrics and the raw anthem like power. The simple, solitary quiet and playful lyrics that dominated her past two albums seem gone.

Talked to a friend about her guy problems today. I wonder what purpose the great dance plays. “I want you.” “I don’t.” " I want you again."

I was put on the spot during lunch to come up with an embarrassing date/ask-out moment. The two anecdotes I shared revealed more about the other person than myself. I feel so aloof sometimes. Listening: Don’t Die In Me - Mirah
