Just as I was getting ready to write this, I found out that one of my favorite bands of the last several years, My Chemical Romance, has broken up, seemingly out of nowhere. Their albums Danger Days & The Black Parade got me through some serious darkness back in 2011, when I was lost & heartbroken & a bunch of other bad things. I always felt that Gerard, the vocalist, was a kindred Trickster spirit, and I do hope at least he will make music again at some point. Wow. Such a shock.
Other than this, it's been another quiet day. I like quiet days. I like them a lot. Flame Shift #69 began a little after 7pm, so most of tomorrow will be quiet as well. Even before Shift started, I was mostly up here, reading and writing. I got quite inspired by the music of Sigur Ros, who are playing a big show at MSG on Monday, which I am thinking of going to as a sort of early birthday present. (If you want to hear and see something truly different, I suggest you click on that link ... )
It's a little late for studying, and there is melancholy nipping at my heels. I think I'll get some sleep soon. Good night world. Good night music. Good night Dear Lady.
