Listening

I did a lot of podcast listening this week! Cleaning and organizing my classroom has been a good opportunity for it because it’s mostly mindless labor. I’ve been digging through Into the Aether’s Kingdom Hearts episodes (Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep | Bonus and I Norted Myself) plus the Song Exploder episode on “Miasma Sky.”

I’ve been listening to a lot of Pure Particles by The Bug Club. It has some of my favorite songs of theirs (“If My Mother Thinks I’m Happy,” “Pure Particles,” and “A Love Song,” primarily). I haven’t been quite as enthused with their more recent releases — Very Human Features was good, and I didn’t really care about On the Intricate Inner Workings of the System3 — but Pure Particles through Rare Birds is such an incredible run of quality.

As part of my mission to upgrade the low quality MP3s I have on my music server, I ordered and ripped a few CDs this week: Johnny Flynn’s A Larum, Mirah’s C’mon Miracle, and Freelance Whales’s Weathervanes. I was really only looking for A Larum specifically, but the seller on discogs had a shipping minimum. The others were on my list and the seller happened to have them available. It’s a little funny — I was listening to these albums all at a specific point in my life (specifically C’mon Miracle and Weathervanes when I was really depressed in my late teens; Johnny Flynn was a bit earlier).
