trying times

Filed under: Music is Sanity, ramblings

it’s hard to write lately b/c life is kicking my butt. i haven’t done anything to life, but that probably has no bearings on when and what life chooses to bring upon me. anyway, i’m trying to keep up with my reading. not so successful there. i’m a friggin’ pedestrian again. this is quite pissy. i’m submerging myself in fabulous tunes. eureeka! my saving grace. as usual, music is my sanity. i recently discovered and artist, well two actually, that i have apparently slept on. on first listen, i felt ashamed and guilty. i felt like i had betrayed music. i felt like i had been sleeping under a rock! how? why did i not ever listen to georgia anne muldrow?!?!?! she is phe.nom.i.nal! right now, she and muhsinah are my audio crack and in heavy rotation on my last.fm. i almost didn’t share this information because i almost want to keep them both to myself. but i digress, i will share with those not already in the know. for those who did, shame on you for not telling me…

  2. Life throws us curveballs!I know you are maintaining… I can definitely relate about how music has a way of putting you in place that feels good! Georgia Anne Muldrow favorite track (Patience) and Muhsinah favortie track (Gogh) have been in heavy rotation in my speakers for along time. Look me up on LastFM same username. Have a beautiful week sis!:)

  3. Hang in there. My Mom passed a month ago and I learned recently that my Sis had been hospitalized w/a collapsed lung. Life is just unreal sometimes.
