Muybridge, A Study
Pyramids are pyramids in vales.
Kate colored suddenly and violently, and her heart beat; but, sweet soul! she was mistaken—
Were the denizens of Victorian England really such gifted blushers that they could do so violently and suddenly, and to the instant notice of everyone present?
Fred Astaire – “Steppin’ Out With My Baby”
My “getting ready” music. If I could have this playing in my head on every night I wear shiny shoes, I’d probably be a lot more smooth.
Caspar David Friedrich
His appointment book lists no visitors for this darkling hour… nor would he ever expect the incongruous advent of this hulking Norseman whose glaring eyes brim with madness and menace.
Thus, Thorne Shaw’s heart spurts into a percussion of fear.
Doc Savage: Hell-Reapers at the Heart of Paradise
They say that these shadows of morning fade as the sun brightens into noonday; but they are very dark shadows for all that.

Dan Deacon – “Build Voice”
Bromst
This is a really, really weird album. But it has a completely unique sound which is amazing as often as it is frustrating. Deacon’s penchant for high-pitched cartoon voices basically ruins a few songs, but ones without, like this first track and the next, “Red F,” are must-listen. It takes about a minute to really start so have patience.
Real Estate – “Beach Comber”
Real Estate
I think this album has generated some hype; I saw it here and there and it’s easy to see why. It’s very infectious, fun, and jangly stuff. This first track strikes me the most, but I’ve really only given the album a couple listens. Good bouncing around getting stuff done music.
