i realized today while i was cruising around some music blogs that i've lost my patience for listening.  it's feels like i have stopped listening to new music and all i do now is "preview" it.  which sort of works for some things, actually its really handy when you're looking for stuff to dj, but it's completely useless when you're looking for something to actually listen to... which is something i do a lot more frequently than i "dj".
so today, after i realized this, i decided to try and give as many new songs a chance as i could.  it was really hard.  i kept getting tempted to just skip to the middle, or look for a "drop" or something.. but actually when i started thinking about it, most of the music i like doesn't have a "drop" or anything remotely similar, and the real value of the track comes from giving it a full listen, start to finish, and listening to things develop.  anyways, i guess im sort of rambling but i just wanted to make a note of that... i need to listen to music more carefully and more patiently.  that may just end up being my new years resolution.

in other news, i found a cover of crazy in love by antony and the johnsons and it is really great.  haunting and desperate.  really brings out a different side of the lyrics. here it is:
