downloading music tonight

at least it's new for my collection... a few full cds coming in the next hour or so... lana dey rey, banks, birdy, sia, marina and the diamonds, florence and the machine, alt:j... a few from each to add some new female voices to my collection and if i jump for joy over just one song out of all the songs well, that's one more jump for joy in this lifetime which is a good thing... music is such a major influence for me and over the years i spend less and less time with the songs and sounds, the words and music that can so deeply move me and inspire me to amazing experiences within this mind i inhabit... i didn't take any music with me this weekend mostly because i do not have the portability at the moment... i have a laptop with harmon kardon speakers yet it is so old it's battery is dead and it overheats so easily i need to keep a portable external fan blowing under the keyboard... and the hard drive is getting close to full... the phone is so old that it does not have the memory or battery life to be a music player... ah, from the depths of my silence i hear a voice sing what kind of fool have i become...

once upon a time i played with the cutting edge of audio and video toys spending half a year's salary on a sound system (without video)... there are more than ten thousand vinyl recordings, thousands of videos and cds and dvds in storage far away... packed away ever so carefully the last time i gave my all to sharing a life with a partner and family and when that experience ended badly, i left everything i owned with her or in storage (including my dog because she had become their dog too) and here i sit so far from that life of music and the latest gadgets and the sharing of love and intimacy... and from the depths of my loneliness i feel lots to ponder and digest, i suppose...

so what can you tell me about the music i am downloading tonight?... i know some vaguely, but some are brand new to me... your input and insight and sharing is very welcome... and if you love music, you are very welcome too...
