I had a rough night. Damn alarm ringing in the street. Alarming. Am I the only one who heard it? Was that ringing only in my head? I moved to another, quieter part of the house. Still, a rough sleep, not restful, crazy-ass dreams. People from my distant past kept popping up, unfinished business, slogging through menial tasks. It was all pretty exhausting. This morning there is only one CD I can think of to put on the box: The Fleet Foxes,
"Helplessness Blues." Acoustic instruments, beautiful harmony vocals. A beautiful helplessness. Exactly.
