Our father, who art in Apple
hallowed be thy name
Thy iPad come, thy will be bought
On Earth, as it is in Apple.

Give us this day, our daily Apps
and forgive us our shit talking
as we forgive those who shit talk against us

And lead us not in to temptation
But deliver us from Bill Gates

I’m in love with the new album from Jonsi & Alex titled Riceboy Sleeps.  The song above, All the Big Trees, is one of my favorites, though I know that this genre is not everyone’s cup of tea.  It is, however, absolutely one of my favorites.  I like it because it is particularly good for setting up a soundtrack for any given moment in my day.  Songs like this are just as strong as they are subtle, work just as well cranked up as they do turned way down, and are just as capable of being heartbreakingly melancholy as they can be pure joy.

It’s great to be able to have something like this to fall back on when I want to be able to think without losing track of my own thoughts due to some catchy lyrics in a song.  I can barely type when people are talking near me, let alone think things through when I can hear singing.  I’m a big lyrics person, I can’t tune them out and my brain just latches on and I’m pulled along for the ride.  I love that and it really brings depth to my normal music listening, but right now I need a little extra time to keep on top of my thoughts and ahead of the curve.

I’m definitely finding myself in the happier end of things and feeling quite centered, which is amazing considering all the hubbub which is swirling around.  Thats why having a good soundtrack is so valuable to me right now.  It gives me the extra boost to keep on top of things without sidetracking me or forcing me to flounder in silence.
