what's in the cd player today?

what I'm listening to, and why I like it

Why a music blog? Have you ever noticed how many people relate over music? The music we listen to is a window into our moods, our souls. Always temporal, evolving. One day it's the beat, the rhythm, the melody. Another day it's the lyrics. With it's ability to carry us away into another time and place, a cherished memory or a fantasy escape, music helps us transcend or endure the mundane. Music helps us make sense of painful experiences or confusing emotions, or safely, cathartically re-experience those feelings. And it has the transformative power to alter our mood for the better or worse. The kind of music we enjoy is a very personal thing, a matter of taste that cannot be imposed by another, but grows instead out of our own histories and sensibilities. And yet what pleasure to find others who like what you like -- you can share aural space with them without getting a headache or losing your mind. You can lead each other to discover new artists and genres. If you take the time to read all or the occasional entry, I hope you find a treat in this log of tunes.

To see a world in a grain of sand
And heaven in a wild flower
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour.
(my favorite William Blake lines, from Auguries of Innocence)

I'm listening to a cd of Buddhist monks chanting. It's very soothing.

So Glenn passes me this stick.

You're stuck inside Fahrenheit 451, which book do you want to be?
Our class read 1984 instead, too. I'm glad we read 1984, its been very applicable. But if I were going to be a book, how about William Blake's The Marriage of Heaven and Hell. There's a reason I'm named Blake.

Have you ever had a crush on a fictional character?
Not really, at least I can't think of one at the moment, but I have found them sexy, desirable, appealing - just not tactile enough! It shouldn't matter because a crush is about fantasy, but my crushes tend to be on real people.

The last book you bought is:
Art Cars: The Cars, the Artists, the Obsession, the Craft by Harrod Blank. Next on the shopping list, a good glue gun and a strong dose of chutzpah...

The last book[s] you read:
Shanghai Baby, Dreams From My Father, Art and Fear.

What are you currently reading?
Benjamin Franklin's autobiography, The Artist's Way, Full Catastrophe Living, The Four Agreements, and PHP and MySql.

Five books you would take to a deserted island:
I would want a good naturalist's book, and a book on to build shelters out of things like mud, cement, etc. A really fat book of quotations. A complete illustrated history of art with big glossy pictures. A book on solitude, maybe meditations or prayers (would I be alone on this island?).

Who are you going to pass this stick to (3 persons) and why?
I only know a handful of bloggers... maybe I'll pick three off some recent blogs list. Anyone out there want to just come and get it???? Please????

Hey! You already gots the chutzpa. And Glue Guns are cheap. What kinda tchachkas do want I should send???
