Listen.

I have been living in the dark ages of indie music for the past year and a half since my CD player in my car stopped working in the Summer of oh-nine. I tried to make the best of it. I grew to enjoy pretty much every radio station that exists. I swung from country, to rap, to pop, to reggaeton, to classical, and this until Taylor Swift sounded on every...single...station.

O.M.G.
(I'm so in love.)

(Radio music joke.)

I scoured thrift stores for cassette tapes, and pushed my musical development further back into the sounds of Cat Stevens, Art Garfunkel, the Rolling Stones, and Hank Williams (whatever I could find). Unfortunately, something about cassette tapes (maybe I am too young to understand this) makes them malfunction when the car is either too hot or too cold. It affects Side B more consistently.

Finally, however, my brother and sister put me out of my misery and purchased a CD player plus installation and presented this glorious offering to me for Christmas.

Today, I listened to The Age of Adz, and something that had been starving inside of me smiled. I encourage you to listen again for the first time to this song that has been out for many weeks prior to this one. Pretend you are me. This is called respite from radio. It sounds amazing.
