Music
Art is how we decorate space, music is how we decorate time.
I think a lot of the music you discover in your teenage years tends to stick.
Nowadays most of my music is algorithmically curated by Spotify. I rarely sit and listen to entire albums anymore.
- Paramore
- Regina Spector
- Death Cab For Cutey
- The National
All my favorite songs are slow and sad.
