Visceral. That pretty much sums up music for me. It has to be tangible. Not self gratifying and hard to get.

I have to be able to see the colors

grab the melody by the back of the neck

and kiss the chorus.

This is the exact reason 80′s music was so elusive for me. That among other reasons. Like the counselors for the Learning Experience Summer Daycamp I had to attend as a kid. We had ride in a hot white van with plastic seats and listen to an unending monotony of depressing songs by Cindy Lauper, Phil Collins, and the litany of one hit wonders with big hair and synthesizers.

Autumn/Fall is no doubt the most rewarding time of year to listen to music. Mainly it’s the city. The humidity has migrated to some unfortunate tropic, and the 50 degree weather, colored leaves, scarves, crisp air has taken it’s place. The city provides a backdrop of motion and movement.

Headphones is to the Wardrobe; as NYC is to Narnia.
