Shooting stars and satellites

I've been having these moments of music bliss that have been catching me off guard. These small surprises though, have the power to make my day.

Like yesterday I was sitting here typing out my invoices for the month listening to Pandora when a Tyronne Wells song called All I Can Do came on. It was as if he reached through my computer screen and slapped me in the face. Actually, lets think of a better metaphor since I think he is far from the type of guy who will slap a female. It was as if he materialized in my apartment and sang the song so loudly that I had no choice but to stop what I was doing and listen to every word in a moment so grand that I thought, "wow I really gotta tell someone about this."

On Thursday I was driving home right after sunset and took the route closest to the water while listening to She and Him's I Can Hear Music and ohhh..... it was brilliant.

And tonight it was Ben Gibbard. I was feeling somewhat rattled all day today, like something was missing but I didn't know what. It's like that feeling of being homesick, when in fact you are actually at home. I had a few things throw me off balance today but I was able to attend a nice Halloween Eve party in Sherman Oaks. As I was driving home on the 405 and enjoying the Los Angeles city lights passing by (i love driving at night), I started fiending for some Death Cab. I mean really, it was like this craving coming from a full blown addiction. And an addiction it may be because as soon as Bixby Canyon Bridge started playing my whole being just felt so satisfied.

I also had a moment this week where I was driving around listening to my demos, and it's like I woke up and realized, "this is me!"
