I've just lost my mind, but I still got you

In a time where everything is supposed to be winding down, my life has become even more chaotic. Yes it was my choice to leave projects unfinished until the very end. Yes it was my choice to change my major last minute. And yes it was my choice to email every music internship that craigslist had to offer and now have to go on interviews. My choices. How quickly we agree, rather it be right or wrong. How quickly our choices impact later decisions and so forth. I cannot even fathom what's in store for me in the next few years, nor the next few months. Any slight decision could change everything. I just hope I'll be ready for this change, whenever it shall reach me.

You Say That Love Goes Anywhere.

I arrived in Buffalo with full intentions that I would be overcome by snow piles and slush. However, it's absolutely beautiful and warmer than New York... and no snow in sight. A lovely relaxing spring break it is so far.

And the long awaited Passion Pit concert tomorrow tonight with my best friend Cj and others. I have been fiending for another concert after seeing Copeland. It's finally here!

One of my favorites, Local Natives, serenaded us in a Yours Truly+Pitchfork.TV edition. I'd visit their Lair anytime.

Local Natives Lair. Beautiful day, beautiful band.

Song of the Day: A perfect song to drive to - roll down your windows, turn up the bass and have yourself a tiny little rave. Enjoy

Bon Voyage to the Luckies going away for spring break,

Weapon of choice

The Voice Project is this amazing non-profit that focuses on women in Northern Uganda that have been affected by Joseph Kony's war. They're using their voices, singing to let the former soldiers know they have been forgiven and to come home instead of hiding in what is known as the Bush.

Voice Project supports these women by spreading their message raising money through donations. But that is not all... they ask other musici

ans to participate in the cause. Basically each artist will pick another artist to cover and then those artists chosen would pick someone else. And eventually it all circles back to the women in Uganda. Clever, eh?

It's brilliant and innovative, and so captivating. I have for years been a close follower of Invisible Children that also focuses on Northern Uganda, so this Project really fascinates me.

Here is one of my favorites. Dawes covering an Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros song:

As for song of the day, Surfer Blood Take it Easy was the immediate song I started humming when I woke.

Memory is a fickle siren's song I didn't understand.

And so it goes, as they would say..I'm going back in time. A time where two young fellows named Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel wrote music and lyrics that compelled the heart. Hey,even warmed the soul. But what brings me the most joy on this journey, as I listen to Simon & Garfunkel, is the beautiful harmony as the voices blend together and create dancing melodies.I'm going back in time... and I may never come back.

"My mind's distracted and diffused. My thoughts are many miles away. They lie with you when you're asleep and kiss you when you start your day."

Kathy's Song - Simon & Garfunkel

As I walk along the cobblestone path to the MET in the drizzling rain, the lovely Fleet Foxes keep me company. I often forget that I'm listening to a contemporary band, rather I think of no time really. Timeless. "Timeless" is the key word that ties Simon & Garfunkel and Fleet Foxes in a tight objective knot. As Sub Pop's Aja Pecknold recalls, "Fleet Foxes’ sound is in constant motion—an ever-evolving, growing and changing, living thing, climbing higher and higher to reach an illusory pinnacle in the clouds that grows more elusive with each inch of elevation gained."
