The Daily Mental Grind
Another day of wondering where to start and how to make sense of what there is to do before getting confused, hitting a wall or giving up, while the brain spins on and on.
I always wonder why there’s not a million or so more Pernice Brothers fans. But that’s music in the world today: An overwhelming abundance of choice, so you have to go looking, keep an open mind, be inquisitive and receptive. Easily in my Top 5 bands of all-time, but that’s just me. Music is personal. You make your own choices and with any luck, they stick with you and evolve as you do.
This is “How Can I Compare.” And like most Pernice Brothers songs, it’s absolutely brilliant.
"Two words to describe my entire life: constant craving."
Soul-warmer of the day: Maira Kalman on happiness and the human condition. Pair with the equally wonderful Fail Safe.
One of my idols, Maira Kalman.
I’m sticking with a hard “G” (like “graphic”, as in “graphic image file”)
Validation! But, again, if nobody pronounces it that way, it will end up “wrong.” That’s how English evolves.
