The Friday Morning Listen: Explosions In The Sky - Page 2

Part of: Friday Morning Listen

This morning I was just plain tired out. Obviously, too much activity the day before. I didn't even drink very much so I couldn't use that as an excuse. Oh well, just gettin' old I guess.

The now-hungover college kids got up to make a giant brunch (I gotta hand it to them, back in my day brunch woulda been cancelled!). After round three of conspicuous food consumption, the kids cleaned up and went off to deal with the rest of their Friday.

I, still being too tired to march up to the third floor for a new music selection, pawed through a couple of the CD piles on top of the piano. Explosions In The Sky is a sort of Godspeed You Black Emperor if Godspeed came from Austin, Texas. Sorta bombastic, sorta pensive. I popped that sucker in and hung out on the couch with the dog while finishing up the book Live What You Love: Notes from an Unusual Life.
