yvynyl:
I hear a song that rips my heart/mind out and lays it bare to the sun.
I’m in a spendy mood, and listening to a decent new album with a big ‘BUY NOW’ link.
I’ve heard a band’s great single on a blog, and am halfway through listening to the second, even better, single.
My dear friend recorded/produced/sang backup/played harp/etc on a good record.
I feel tempted to buy a record first...

I’m no scientist, but from what I understand, there are muscles in your inner ear that can contract in order to close it off and protect your ear drums from damaging loudness. Exposing your ears to music all day, even at not-too-loud volumes, puts a strain on these muscles, so after several hours they’ll be tired of expanding and contracting (keeping up with all the different...

Pied Beauty, Gerard Manley Hopkins.
This was briefly mentioned in the last book I read, Middlesex, and I just remembered to look it up.
