More Words, More Notes

This is what has filled my week: Owen Pallett and Albert Camus.

Owen Pallett's new album is almost constantly stuck in my head these days. The album, at first listen, comes off as a bit charming, which it surely is, but to leave it at this would be an insult. The story he tells of a fantastic world is made far less whimsical than the music would sometimes lead you to believe by the constant depth of Pallett's lyrics. This album is one that needs to be listened to actively so as not to only appreciate it as catchy.

This is just another reason Pallett is one of my favorites:

My resolution for this year was actually made for me by a group of friends. I was told that my resolution was to be nicer to people. I amended this by saying that I would try to be nicer to people I already know. I think that's fair.

My personal resolution for the year is that I've finally decided to jump on the book-a-week bandwagon. I had this loose goal last year of reading 100 pages a day which ended in utter failure. I definitely set myself up for that one.

Thus concludes this requisite and clichéd entry.
