Right this second..minute..moment

So with no job, cars exploding, empty apt and a new city awaiting my thoughts have been far and distant..for sure.  I recently finished my book and let go of it after 4 years of adding and taking away.  I sent it to a dear friend, an amazing poet, to edit as I await next.  As I feel long gone and temporary right now I have been listening to these bands.  They are the sounds grasping my attention. Mumford and Sons

My Favorite Albums of 2009

Ok, it has taken me a little while to post my top albums of 2009.  I didn't want to, so I decided to post my favorite albums of 2009.  Since I have been spending 14-18 hours a day in the studio painting or designing the next Veritas Fashion line, I have been listening to a shitload of tunes (new & old). My absolute favorite album of 2009 Say Hi- Oohs and Aahs, I bought it back in early March and listen to it on a weekly basis, if I am painting I place all of Say Hi and Say Hi to your Mom albums in the mix, I absolutely love Eric Elbogen. (He has been on tour with David Bazan)

Anyways, here are my favorite albums of 2009 in a random mish mash of genre and order.
