sufjan

say it 5 times, slowly.
sufjan.
not only beautiful, but moving (and not to be too shallow, but he's hot too check it out:
)

this man's music makes me happy and sad all at once, transports me to chicago and makes me believe that i really am anywhere but here. i cant thank him enough.

and remember kids, no matter what google image search tells you, this:

is not sufjan, but in fact ziggy stardust

"here am i sitting in a tin can
high above the world
planet earth is blue
and there's nothing I can do"

*guitar solo* der der der der der da deh deh! YEAH!

not

"And I cried myself to sleep last night
For the Earth, and materials, they may sound just right to me
Even with the rest belated, everything is antiquated
Are you writing from the heart?
Are you writing from the heart?"

how random is ipod shuffle???

the other day i thought to myself "i'm in a depeche mode mood. but i really can't be arsed with all that button pressing & wheel turning" so instead i clicked on shuffle (actually 'brani casuali' - archimedes is italian at the moment). out of over 4000 songs he chose to play depeche mode!

and that's not all. even though none if my music is sorted into genres (i don't like to categorise that way) archimedes often chooses similar sounding tunes, he looooves playing me long lists of raucous grrrly music.

he sometimes follows a song with another that has a connection - like yesterday he played the breeders then the kelley deal 6000 straight after!

if i'm thinking about a certain person he'll play something that they loved or that totally relates to how i feel about them.

i can't tell you how many hours i have spent pondering this question. has anyone had similar experiences? or are me & my love just so in tune that we are becoming one?
