"Was there anything more useful than rhythm to the old superstitious type of human being? One could do everything with it: promote some work magically; compel a god to appear, to be near, to listen; mould the future according to one's own will; discharge some excess (of fear, of mania, of pity, of vengefulness) from one's soul, and not only one's own soul but also that of the most evil demon. Without verse, one was nothing; through verse one almost became a god. Such a basic feeling cannot be eradicated - and still today, after millennia of work at fighting superstition, even the wisest of us occasionally becomes a fool for rhythm, if only insofar as he feels a thought to be truer when it has a metric form and presents itself with a divine hop, skip, and a jump"

Welcome to the New Blog!
Welcome!
This blog is for music. Each week I will be posting a cool playlist of music I have been listening to and think you should too. Hopefully there will be a new playlist up every Friday. Enjoy!
"I'm bored, and I never do anything. Writing things down actually seems like work. They say that work makes a man become good and honest. Well, at least there's a chance."
-Fyodor Dostoevsky, Notes from Underground.
