week two of the colorado shakespeare festival has begun. huzzah.
despite being absolutely knackered and kindof wishing i was in an empty studio by myself and rolling on the floors… ive been surviving. the road to recovery from such an emo-tastic post has been rather arduous, but the harrowing journey has been soundtracked quite fabulously, and often allowing moments of hope and reverie.
currently ive been listening to Coldplay’s new album “Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends”. (oh yes… ive got a naughty sneaky copy…muahahah). the title song(s) are absolutely amazing… Viva La Vida being my favourite due to its pulsing orchestration and intriguing lyrics.
in addition to the new Coldplay… ive been balancing myself out with “með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust” which roughly translates to: with sound in our ears we play endlessly.
…or so i think.
this is the new Sigur Ros album, and its absolutely incredible. the first single from the cd is Gobbledigook, and the song is very uptempo and energizing and amazing. the band has it up and streaming freely from their website as well as other places like lastfm and myspace… so… check it out!
annnyways… if any of you out there reading this is in colorado this summer… you should come see the Colorado Shakespeare Festival! go to www.coloradoshakes.org for more info.
oh… and if anyone has a good “life-plan” that they’re thinking i should follow after my contract is up at the end of august… let me know! im open to all suggestions and submissions
