What's been playing ...

... on my iPhone / Pad this week.

 

The Naked and Famous - Passive Me , Aggressive You

 

This was a find for me. Trolling iTunes last week checking out the "what's free" stuff I found a free download for  Punching in a Dream. Th e user reviews year very positive referencing groups like MGMT and M83. I thought "what the hell" and grabbed it without even listening to it.

Five minutes later I had bought the whole album and can't stop listening to it.  Yeah , they do have similar sounds to MGMT et al , for me being a child of the 80's, this album sent me back to the glory days of Siouxsie and the Banshees , OMD , The Cure and even a bit of Tears for Fears.

Young Blood is a great pop single - 

 

But my favorite on the album is The Sun

put your favorite headphones on, crank 'em up and listen as this builds from the soft piano in the beginning to a surround-you-with-a-wall-of-sound that'll make your head vibrate...

if you've ever wondered how far the airport us from the city here in Denver ...

Finally ....

I finally made my first appointment for physical therapy for my injured shoulder.  I have to say , the people at kaiser are great!  Brett ( my p/t guy ) is knowledgable, funny, friendly and good at his job )  He thinks my injury is just minor and I should be back to 80-90% in 6 weeks or so ....

Lunch ...

Fall Back - Spring ??? ...

There are certain signs that Spring is right around the corner: Punxsutawney Phil being dragged out of his comfy home, the crocus popping up amid what little snow we've had here in CO and most of all :

 

The first Ice Cream truck of the year !

Yes , whilst sitting at home yesterday nursing another migraine , i heard the faint sound of the familiar music playing through the neighborhood. This brought back memories of running to mom and dad and asking(begging) for a dollar for that Bomb Pop or Dreamsicle. 

I almost ran outside myself to grab a sweet sweet treat when I had a thought :

isn't it a bit too early for the  Ice Cream Man ???

 

I think i'll wait for a bit ...

Just Another Day ....

yes , it has come around again.

 Seems to get here a bit quicker every year . Not that I don't like birthday's , just that I really could care less any more.

Back in the olden days ( because i'm getting old enough to use phrases like that now ) , I had fun with my birthday. I can remember my Grandma asking me what kind of frosting to put on the cake and me responding with all the sincerity that an eight year old can muster - "purple"  ( nobody but me ate that cake that year ).  Or the fun cakes that my mom baked for us growing up - 

( not *this* particular turtle , but you get the idea )

Now , it's just another day.

Now , i'll spend the day like I do every more recent year.  In bed, with the covers over my head , waiting for it all to be over ...
