Spent the first half of yesterday driving for hours in the rain, and the second half sitting in a cold dark lab, attempting to make sense of hundreds of pages of data in preparation for a big meeting I have on Tuesday.
Some horrible case of restless legs had me up all night.
Got soaked running for bus.
Missed bus.
Waited for next bus.
It was full of drippy/coughing/sniffling/contaminated Moody Monday-ers.
The cables came off 10 meters from my stop and the driver would not let us out.
They were out of soy at the coffee cart.
PI is running late and wants me to conduct interviews for new tech until he arrives.
Interviewee is late.
I need a musical escape.
This week, I share with you one of my new favorite bands. I first heard them a few years ago on a compilation by my favorite Glaswegian artist, the insanely multi-talented David Shrigley. Grizzly Bear is quickly gaining popularity.. which I am happy about but also a bit sad about. You know that feeling where you want artists to do well, but you like having them as your little secret so you can go see them live in intimate locales??
It appears I am not the only fan; Grizzly Bear is loved by many from Radiohead to Jay-Z to Paul Simon.
Not sure how to classify this band.. I like to call them orchestral folk. Whatever they are, they are the soundtrack to my sciencey-chaos this week. Whadda ya think?
