All My Bones, They Are Gone, Gone Gone

The first and quite likely only thing I did this Tuesday past was go buy Ys, the new record from Joanna Newsom. I played it while driving home, and approximately thirteen minutes into the fourth track, I was met with such a rush of unfettered aural beauty that I drove my car into a tree.

Which is to say, safe at home, figurative flowering tree and car left far behind and having listened to it quite a few times in the days since that ecstatically imaginary physical harmonization, I really love this record.

I second that; I hope the crash was an allegory.

Yes, yes, very allegorical! Some expansion is necessary...
