My morning commute

It was foggy this morning, I got very little sleep (about 4.5 hours), I'm pretty tired, and I would've loved to have slept a few more hours. The drive to work, however, was kind of perfect, because the sun is out! I love when daylight saving time ends. It means a commute home in the dark but there's something about getting up with the sun that makes the whole process of going to work much easier.

I was in my typical fantasy mode while driving on the 710 (remarkably, traffic was flowing this morning), listening to my iPod, when "Indiscipline" by King Crimson came on.

I love this song! I really like Adrian Belew's voice, though he doesn't really sing this one. It's one of those songs I can listen to a hundred times in a row. I think I did, all the way from before Imperial Highway (about where the fog lifted) to the parking lot at work. I got a little bit of a kick out of imagining performing it with Melic Sub Rosa, the band my husband has been playing drums with. Those guys could kill this song, though I'm not sure how successful a vocalist I would be (at least I didn't imagine myself performing something beautiful like "Matte Kudasai")! I love how noisy the song is, how crashy and ringy the drums are with the cymbals everywhere and the way it all builds up. If I really did ever perform this song, I'd probably have to be very careful not to get distracted by the instrumentalists.

I like all kinds of music and many different styles, but I think my heart belongs to this kind of metered, beautiful noise.

This post has nothing to do with Stewart Copeland (though, he played with Andy Summers, and Andy played with Robert Fripp, who was in King Crimson), which you may either find odd, or... refreshing.
