Ok so my friend has this idea where we all create a diary of everything we listen to for one week, and consider the wheres, whens, whys and hows of this experience. I won't go into too much detail because he can explain this far better than I can.
So Day 1 of my music diary....
I was running late for work, because it was after all Monday and I'm always running late. I listen to half an album on my way to work, well 6 songs of Gorilla Manor by Local Natives loudly through my headphones.
I guess I chose it as it was a regular favourite of mine about this time last year, actually almost to the week I first bought the Local Natives album, and it was a continual favourite through to last summer. It reminded me of breakups and dancing to Local Natives at Roskilde. It's a great record, full of harmonies and off kilter rhythms.
I listened to the second half of the album on the walk home.
Had my friend Jack around for dinner and to watch a couple of episodes of Boardwalk Empire, while I was cleaning the kitchen and preparing the food (oven roasted veg, cous cous and feta) I played the Suburbs by Arcade Fire, I think I got as far as City With No Children. I've got this little Kef iPod dock in the kitchen connected up to some cheap Eltax speakers but it does the job.
Post food and TV, I've come up to sort my room out and played a few 12"s, I don't have much up here (most is still in boxes at my grandparents) but I plumped for Joy Division - Atmosphere/She's Lost Control on 12". My dad gave it to me when I was younger as a present and it's great music to tidy up to. Strangely following this I opted for In Between Days - The Cure and North American Scum - LCD Soundsystem.
Not much really for a Monday but there you go; more tomorrow.
