We can all be greater than this.

"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies with in us." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Thoughts on music

Ceremonials failed to live up to expectations in so many areas, but Ghost of the Beast by Kelli Schaefer fixes that.  Seriously, it’s everything I wanted from Florence and the Machine but better.  It’s brave and honest, layered and complex, and Kelli’s voice is singular.  I’ve been raving about this record like some crazed evangelist since I first heard it. I’ve listened to it over a dozen times.  It’s that ridiculously awesome.

Also, the Lonely Forest record is dangerously addictive. I listened to it once two days ago and it’s been in my head ever since. So there’s that.
