My Brain Feels like a Magnetic Zero....

When you have a fever, your brain somehow clings to every image, memory, TV show, or the back of your eyelids---definitely not anything you "should" be doing.

So I found my brain floating in its nostalgia today and came across a 10 person band, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. Basically, its a band that is the brain child of a down and out Alex Ebert. After AA and sleeping on inflatable couches, he came up with the notion of a prophetic hero "Edward Sharpe" who travels around the West, preaching, though constantly distracted by the beautiful Jade, and other women, pleasures, and ideas.

In an age where everyone is looking for a hero or maybe just some comfort from a bygone era where we had faith, we were just distracted. Are we still distracted, or do we even have faith?

Anyways, enough with those pointless blurbs. Buy the CD, check it on Myspace. Here is an article that inspired me. Look 'em up on youtube or myspace or whatever. Listen to their song, "HOME." Basically... something about it reaffirms my sense of comfort, home, and love.

I'm going to go nurse this fickle fever.
