i woke up this morning at 5:21.
it was december, and there was snow on the ground.

i've been listening to "we brave bee stings and all" by THAO WITH THE GET DOWN STAY DOWN for the past few days on heavy rotation ((highly recommended))... but the blustery morning seemed to call out for THE BLACK KEYS last album, produced (and heavily influenced) by danger mouse. its called "attack and release".
it was the perfect choice for this morning... some garage blues, some sludge, and just enough aged texture to make it sound as if it had been around for longer than 2 years.

i'm looking forward to the drive home.
