Today was the release of the new Arcade Fire album, something I had been looking forward to since the release of their debut, Funeral, back in 2004. So this morning, early, like around 9, I downloaded it from emusic, my primary music source, transferred it to my MP3 player, and crawled back into bed for a dedicated listen.
It was hard to get comfortable (wearing earbuds and all), but I managed, my wonderful thick covers pulled up over me, staring half-focused at nothing, letting the music pour inside me. It's good stuff, nicely different from Funeral. And of course it was that one unique listen when each note and tremor is new, unexpected, sometimes surprising. A great way to start the day.
listening to an eagerly-awaited, damn fine album (arcade fire's neon bible) in the comfort of my own bed and for the first time: ***
