Headphones - Self Titled

The good ol' CC and successive illnesses have been keeping me scarce, so I apologize for not updating this thing in quite awhile, if there are any devout followers at this point that is (if there ever even were, really). What musical archive I once had has also gone missing, so picking out something to feature has become difficult. But, I'm still going to try to do my best.

Many of you are probably familiar with this indie trio (more of a duo though, really), featuring David Bazan (Pedro The Lion), Frank Lenz (Starflyer 59), and at some point or another Nick Peterson (Fleet Foxes) was involved in some way, shape or form. It's a drum and keys outfit, and the project was only active long enough to produce this single slef-titled debut, but it's a nice little gem of melancholy and rhythm that always seems to find its way back into my playlist.

Andrew Douglas Rothbard - Exodusarabesque

I've been scouring google's blogsearch off and on for a good couple of months, trying desperately to find a downloadable copy of this utterly fascinating, mesmerizing album, and until yesterday my hunts had proved fruitless. I can't for the life of me remember how I caught word of this, I hadn't even heard of Rothbard, but something about that incadescent mass of pluming shapes and colors called out to me like a strange light in the dark, and upon arrival I was not at all dissappointed by my findings, but totally entranced. Like many others, I find myself at a loss for words, and am not certain that any explanation I provide would do justice to this beautiful monster. Exodusarabesque is a wondrous dreamscape, so unique in its composition that it would be an absolute shame to pass it up. Give it a spin and get lost; you may not come back.
