The Frosty Air.


I’m listening to Pedro the Lion. Specifically, their take on“Be Thou My Vision”. It’s a lovely thing. I’ve found a couple of independent artists covering hymns. Among them, Sufjan Stevens and Feist.

I’d like to highlight Sufjan Stevens. Today marked my first sighting of a Christmas commercial. So increasingly, I’m finding it harder and harder to resist over-listening to Sufjan Steven’s Christmas music. I don’t know where to find it (likely a Google search), but somewhere hiding in the internet is this album. I think it’s called, “Hark! Songs for Christmas”. I recommend finding it and getting it.

Enough of music.

This ought to be juicy. I know of at least one who will particularly appreciate this. U2, and specifically Bono, have come under fire for moving their music publishing company to the Netherlands to avoid taxes. I always wondered why a multi-millionaire rock star could get off so easily when chastising the common man for not giving away more money to his causes. Maybe this will strengthen his message but change his methods? One can only hope.

And now, I look through my cabinets and pantry and realize I’m fresh out of words. Have a great Friday folks.

-Arrivederci!
