À tout à l’heure, by Bibio.

Single from his upcoming release Silver Wilkinson, out via Warp on 13 May.

I was hooked on this track in the first 1.5 seconds! So very, very good.

Special N; by Mogwai.

From their original score: Les Revenants.

Play with Fire, by The Rolling Stones.

My Wes Anderson video files didn’t transfer correctly while preparing for my three-month trip, but the soundtracks are holding me over.

Lights | Josh Ritter - The Beast in its Tracks

Every heart on earth is dark half the time

I’ve reached the prime-listening phase with Josh’s new album: I’ve heard it four or five times, so it’s familiar, I know a lot of the lyrics, and I feel what he’s trying to tell us, but I haven’t worn it out yet.

Within Dreams, by The Album Leaf. From their latest, A Chorus of Storytellers. Released on Sub Pop in 2010.

One last self-reblog for your New Years. This is one of my favorite songs on the planet.  I have A Chorus of Storytellers on vinyl, and it’s by far and away my most-played record in my collection.  Not because they’re my favorite band (they’re not), but because no matter how I’m feeling (happy, sad, angry, livid, confused), I can put it on and bring myself back to a more central mental place. It’s a wonderful example of how music can influence us.

Here’s to you, no matter where you’re coming from in 2012.  Cheers.
