With Eyes Half Open


Here is the running mix I promised earlier.

There’s a certain kind of song I like when I’m running. The music sets my pace, not in a strict sense, I don’t run to the beat — though when a song does sync up I love it. But it sets the tone.

If I’m going to hype Neko Case, I’d better give her New Pornographers band-mate Carl Newman his due. Honestly I can’t say I’m a huge New Pornographers fan, but these two keep putting out albums that I really like. A.C.

His first album also doesn’t fail to please. Looking forward to seeing him live in a couple weeks.
