At least once a day, I make sure to take the time to sit down and listen to a song with headphones on; and with complete focus. I don’t use the song to invoke thoughts about me or my life. I hone in on the song and all its beautiful details. I listen for things I’ve never heard before. I close my eyes and let it take me with it. So I decided to start posting a song once a week to share with you guys. Go grab your headphones. Close your eyes. And for four minutes or so, really listen.
This week, I bring you “This Woman’s Work” by Kate Bush. Enjoy!
SIDE NOTE: Do you guys think I should post more regularly on the blog? Like once a day rather than once a week? Let me know!

i do the same but not once a week. and… not exactly without any help. but yeah. those background noises in some of portugal’s stuff is amazing. i hear new sounds all the time that i’ve never heard before. beats, keyboard noises. i remember letting the high hat’s pitter patter make me visualize raindrops rippling on a shallow puddle of water and turned into colors. was a weird experience.
and to posting. i’d say not everyday. it’d build up better anticipation for when you actually do post. a few times a week maybe? well whatever you decide, i’ll wish you luck (?).

oh i wanted to add.. i did this to wonderland as well and my sense of appreciation for everything on that album jumped 10 fold. amazing stuff, hands down.

i definitely think you should post everyday. I love reading what you have to say. or maybe i’m just nosey, haha.

You should definitely post more often than you do.
Maybe not once a day, but at least a few times a week.

this song is used absolutely brilliantly in the Series finale of HbO’s “Extras” by Ricky Gervais. D’angelo also does a sick cover w/ a sweet vid check it

We love hearing from you. But I think what’s most important about posts is QUALITY over QUANTITY.
So, post whenever you feel you’ve got something interesting to say…which, as we all know, is most likely always.

i love my bose ear buds. i always discover new stuff when i’m listening with them. and the breathing. i sometimes will listen to a song just concentrating
on the vocal intakes. the blog is always more active when you are posting so i say more is merrier

Post more regularly, you write interesting shit!
June 7th, 2008 at 10:17 am
i agree with the whole “you always have something interesting to say” comments
but id say maybe twice a week would be cool. too much and you run out of things to say.. plus it might become harder for you when you start touring again.
awesome though..
