music monday: phosphorescent.

i don’t even know what to say about this band. i just love everything about it. phosphorescent is one guy, and a handful of instruments. his music is sort of heartbroken, creepy, and unpolished, which i realize doesn’t sound appealing at all, but it is.

this is a picture from a cool night this summer that i had the privilege of laying in the grass in millennium park with a bottle of wine and a group of friends, listening to phosphorescent play. it was just perfect. also doesn’t frank gehry just blow your mind?

and then i realized that i owned an entire willie nelson tribute album without knowing it. anyway, i’m fairly certain that i have every phosphorescent song ever in the world, and choosing songs for this playlist was a nightmare. but, after a lot of heartache, i’ve narrowed it down to these favorites. including a few of those famous willie tributes.

so… i realize that a huge part of this playlist is from the to willie album.

i guess next week’s music monday might have to be about good old shotgun willie.

Wow, I’ve never heard of him before but any Willie Nelson tribute song is good in my book!
