ive changed locations

ive changed locations and now im trying to do some more work while listening to some motown. So, i dont normally listen to music while working because i can't always concentrate. but ocassionally, it ok. also, every once in a while, im driven without reason to listening to everything and anything motown. I think its because there is a raw, pure passion that these guys sing and perform with that's unbeatable, especially when i'm feeing emotional (as I do right now). Its akin to my obsession with disintegration, i'm sure.

Im thinking of my phenomenology again. and I'm thinking about a second dedicated to music. I think music is a truly wonderful and important thing. Its so beautifully human. But i dont understand why. birds sing to communicate, but its not quite teh same for humans (tho there is a communicative property to it.) I dunno. I've got to think.

I was thinking while speaking with nooree last night that she must get sick of me referring to songs and stuff. I can't help it. there's something about music that gets my brain thinking of things that i wasn't thinking about before. it conjures up emotions and associations and feelings and who knows.

I was also thinking of how personal an experience listening to the magnetic fields is for me. I realized that one reason i enjoy them so much is that stephin merritt always feels like he's singing to me. I so often identify with the melancholy, often cheesy, dramatic, and beautiful words. which is a little weird, since very often, i can't understand all the lyrics to most songs. but the magnetic fields are different. i get everything.

alright, back to work
