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.

  1. Paramore
  2. Regina Spector
  3. Death Cab For Cutey
  4. The National

All my favorite songs are slow and sad.
