Creative evolution

My favorite EPs are the ones where you can listen to the creative process playing out in real time. They can be either a bridge between one album's sound and the next, and include certain tracks that just quite didn't fit in either album, or they can even be their own little evolutionary dead ends, just completely divergent microprojects that the artist(s) felt still deserved to exist. Either way you get to see the evolution and it seems like you gain a little glimpse behind the scenes into a slightly less polished or less thought out and more exposed and adventurous version of the creative process. They signal development in its rawer and more pure form. Anyway some of my favorites are: - WHY?'s run of eps from 2003 to 2006. - Ricky Eat Acid - like i was floating - Tor/Sufjan Stevens - Illinoize - TV Girl - self titled - The Decemberists - Picaresqueties - Field Medic - little place - Divorcee - self titled (this one is cool because it came out roughly half a decade later, but it's a companion piece to WHY?'s Alopecia album, but is written by the woman Yoni (from WHY?) was dating at the time of that album, and therefore tells her point of view, but it was produced by Yoni, so it has the same overall sound and production vibe. It's a nice form of honesty and reconciliation). - Girls - Broken Dreams Club (not sure if its technically an ep, but its only 30 minutes, which for that era, kind of feels like ep length) - Millionyoung - Be So True - James Blake - Klavierwerke - Los Campesinos! - Sticking Fingers Into Sockets - Jay Electronica - Act 1: Eternal Sunshine (technically a mixtape, but its ep length) - Small Black - self titled - Okkervil River - Golden Opportunities (also technically a mixtape, but I'm including it since its not an album and not on streaming) - Straylight Run - Prepare to be Wrong - Vondelpark - Sauna - Shlohmo - Places - Shlohmo and Jeremih - No More

My Year of Rest and relaxation

I took a break from reading Absalom, Absalom! by William Faulkner to read this. (I was on a long waitlist at my library for this book, so I had to pick it up!) I knew going in the vibe of the book going in but I definitely didn’t expect the narrator to be obsessed with Whoopi Goldberg and her pussy as much as she was….but all in all it was an interesting read to say the least.
