The gold

Lately I've been trying to do a fair amount of quiet. I started to read this old book based on the recommendation of my cardiologist about the stress response. I need to be more dedicated in my practice but so far I'm not terrible. 

Musically I'm really digging Manchester Orchestra and Agnes Obel.  I've had Manchester Orchestra's 'The Gold'--both the original version and the Phoebe Bridgers one--running pretty steadily. Both very different, both gorgeous. I think Andy Hull lyrically is really pretty special, and he can translate that lyricism musically even more beautifully than say a Ben Gibbard perhaps. Who knows. 

I'm in an Uber on the way to my work as a pediatric ICU nurse in Manhattan in the early morning hours. I love NYC and the Westside highway this early in the morning. I'll post the lyrics when things aren't so shaky. Keep well.
