Little else can calm the nerves like Yo La Tengo. I'm listening to And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out right now, and all I can really think about is how content I feel. Sometimes when I look through my CD's to put something on the stereo, I pass by this one and wonder to myself why I even own it. At times, the music seems so non-descript, bland even, completely inconsequential to everything. Occasionally though, right now being a good example, nothing sounds as natural and fit for the moment. It still doesn't really sound brilliant, as in genius music of epic proportions, but it does sound very, very RIGHT. I think I'm in a mood where I'm not really up or down, I'm just kind of there. It's like the moment you wake up after a long sleep on a weekend morning. You're no longer tired and deep down, you know that you have no immediate responsibility for anything. For those first few seconds after you open your eyes, all that's there is a general awareness that you're no longer asleep, with no real concern about anything else. That's a little bit like how a feel right now listening to this music.
