Just thought I'd share something real quick. I have more Art Nest love to shower you with, and I'm getting to that, but in the mean time, I wanted to share with you the music that now, in my mind, defines Art Nest.
I've noticed that about myself. When I go on a trip, there will be a few songs that I end up listening to non-stop and they seep into the part of my brain where the memory of an event lives.
When I went down to SoCal last summer for Anahata's classes that Emily hosted, it was Joanna Newsom with this song. The trip down to Ashland two summers ago was all about Wilco with this song being my anthem. (It was SOOO hard trying to find this song...this video is obviously a bootleg...sorry!)
Silver Bella last November was Iron and Wine with this song and Arcade Fire with this song.
Art Nest was all about Radiohead. This song and this song (this song SENDS me!) are now in my soul and are part of my amazing Art Nest experience. Whenever I hear these songs, mentally, I will be back in that beautiful house with all those beautiful people in beautiful Utah. :-)
Hope you heard something that you like. Hugs to you...
Oh my gosh...I knew we were kindred! Iron & Wine and Radiohead ~ yep. Love 'em. Have you heard The Trapeze Swinger by Iron & Wine? It's 9+ minutes of good. I saw them perform it on PBS...soundstage maybe? Or Austin City Limits? So far I haven't found a way to buy it without purchasing the whole "In Good Company" soundtrack.
Thanks for the good list of tunes.

Totally know what you mean! Certain songs just take you back and bring you such a great feeling. Even some horrible songs from the 80s--because of the times I associate with them--I love them.

HI Michele, My week has been such a whirlwind since arriving home Monday night in the middle of a great big snow storm. I love the photos and the music that you shared from the art nest. It was fantastic to meet you and I will be checking in here to see what's new and happening with you. I truely hope that our paths will cross again.
Big love, Caryn
