Right this second..minute..moment

The music that drives inspiration when all is void.

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

Artist SAMO4PREZ top 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)
