i had a dream
no longer to be free
i want only to see
four walls made of concrete
6 by 6 enclosed
soon we're on video oh oh oh
feed me twice a day
i want to fade away
away

I've learned a lot this year… or rather taken things to heart that others have been telling me for years. "Don't sweat the small stuff." (Richard Carlson) "Very often we are our own worst enemy." (Louis Binstock) "If you're not having fun, you're doing something wrong." (Groucho Marx) … stuff like that.
I've also found that going with your gut instinct and impulses is being truer to yourself, and it saves a lot of time fretting and worrying about, which is rarely worth it. "Do, or do not. There is no 'try.'" (Yoda in "The Empire Strikes Back")
I have also learned that I like the sounds of zebras, duplicating them with G and my sister-in-law, and this song named for the magnificent beast. Listen for yourself:
Happy New Year Everyone!

Skeletal System is like the music playing in the back of your mind, brought to the surface to hear. It is an ever-present and introspective sound, apparent during the calm between busier times. Within this context, "Old Oceans" is aptly named, as though there is an endless ocean of thoughts and feelings floating back there, in my subconscious, waiting for their moment to rise to the surface. How better to describe that place we all have than in song? And what better song is to do so? It is even framed with a beat, not unlike our own beating hearts.
I commend Andy and Brian (who is an old friend of mine who has introduced me to many a band (e.g. Geneva) and usually had a music collection that put mine to shame), on their accomplishments thus far with their "Skeletal System EP". Whether you call their sound Shoegazing, or Nu-gaze, it is certainly a gaze inward and a gaze to be considered. Fans of the genre (e.g. Cocteau Twins or M83) should rejoice and (click here to download the Skeletal System EP for free while they can). I look forward to hearing more!

Like the sunset on a summer's night… Like a dream… Like a slow dance with the one you love… Like the perfect song at the end of the day.

I keep hearing this song and thinking I need to share it with you all. It has a soothing quality.
Similar to what Daft Punk did with their video album for "Discovery", almost all the songs on One EskimO's debut album, "One EskimO", have an animated video that is part of a larger story entitled "The Adventures of One Eskimo". You can watch the whole thing here:

It is hardly an new idea to team up with animators to make videos (I'm also looking at you Gorillaz, Evil Nine, Radiohead and a slew of others I don't have time to list) but clearly it is a trend that is here to stay and I think adds something very cool and different to the musical arts!
