Today, it’s grey and rainy here in Manson, reminds me of Seattle. And it also begs the question: Why is the weather so influential and indicative of our musical selections? I certainly cannot begin pondering the answer, but will suggest that Radiohead’s Paranoid Android on the OK Computer album is exactly the inspiration I need to get motivated for pressing red wine today. In fact, the entire album is needed, since it’s hard to separate each song from the brilliant overall orchestration emanating from Thom Yorke’s genius.
Bear with me: This is the kind of album that you listen to with headphones on while walking around completing your daily activites. The album quite simply synthesizes the activities of one’s motion into a sort of soundtrack of life. I am not doing justice to describing this sensation, but I highly recommend donning your iPod and walking around your daily world. Everyone and everything begins to move with the rhythm. Birds take flight on cue, pedestrians enter crosswalks on cue, and your own personal being becomes fluid.
This will likely be on repeat while we press our Red Mountain Merlot today at The Blending Room.
Cheers,
