website of the day: the sixty one
i love the idea of this, a website that plays you a random selection of songs.
it’s obviously hit and miss, but when a gem pops up, it usually is worth the 10 previous ones you had to skip through.
today’s gem: The Cinematic Orchestra, To Build A Home (Ma Fleur, 2007)
this song is all around beautiful and i’m not sure why it’s taken me over four years to hear it. it makes me feel silly sometimes knowing a song has been out there for so long, being enjoyed by so many, except for me. i think i have the unfortunate tendency to get so caught up in the music i know and enjoy, that i lose the desire to listen to the overwhelmingly vast amount of music that’s floating around different airwaves.
also: A Cloud for Climbing. they have beautiful instrumentals that recall at some points Explosions in the Sky, but still maintain a totally distinguished sound. You can download their album for free HERE. It’s only 3 songs, but with one running over 5 minutes and another over 7, there’s still a good bit to listen to.
