Sleeps with Angels- Neil young

While I'm on the topic of the CSNY boys, I have to shout out my favorite later Neil Young record, Sleeps with Angels. I'm more of a Neil Young fan than I have any right to be. I think it's cool that he is considered the godfather of grunge. It isn't just about his early work with Crazy Horse on Everybody Knows This is Nowhere, though those guitars do feel very grimy. It's a genuine feeling he cultivated on After The Gold Rush, after the hazy, marijuana Laurel Canyon fever dream ended- this question of, where do I go from here? It's a feeling he continued to noodle with on "On The Beach" a couple of albums later on, confronting his love hate relationship with fame, his audience, and that good old artist question of "what the hell do I have to say that make these people like me!" (I went to the radio interview/But I ended up alone at the microphone). Abridging the history is hard with Neil, but for brevity's sake- here we are, '94. This album is directly influenced by the death of Kurt Cobain, who referenced Neil by name in his suicide note, striking a chord with the aging rocker. Sleeps with Angels is a reaction to grunge while also being steeped in it, but there are no distorted guitars. There's a wistful, dreamlike atmosphere. It's pretty heavy despite it all. I also think the cover is amazing. Fav tracks: Driveby, Change Your Mind (15 minute rocker!!), Safeway Cart, Blue Eden. I hope you enjoy.

Asking people if they want to be friends

“Wanna be friends?” is an underutilized tactic in adulthood. Kindergarteners know what’s up.

Let the city walk you

This is a type of walk I do almost every day. Walk in one direction until you hit a stoplight. Then immediately turn and walk in the new direction until you hit a stoplight and repeat until you get back home.
