Wander through the silent forests and enjoy December

It's sure to be a bit until my next update, so until then I bid you adieu. I shall be visiting some family in Snowpoint City, so if you have any requests send them there or leave me a comment on this post, either way I'll be sure to get back to you.

If you wish to bring some new music into your lives I recommend exploring Byg Deal - Art Rock Revolution.

My best wishes for the rest of your December.

Slowpoke: A coronation and a raindance

Don't rest and the next thing your tired eyes will see is the coronation of the fool. Whether it be carnival, or some twisted reality that you were unaware that you were a part of, should you miss out on your sleep you'll be sure to see the rise of an all engulfing bureaucratic ineptitude. Stressed over structure and efficiency, the world will surely descend to such a level that quickfix solutions are tantamount to advancement. Be wary of he who does not value his excursions into the land of Morpheus.

I say, let's avoid this wretched fate of fatigued short sightedness and take some guidance from slowpoke. Let's take it easy. Maybe not to the extremes that slowpoke is want to practice its lethargy, but rest my friends.
One day at a time and you're sure to make some progress. I promise that life'll be just as beautiful. Aye, a bit pockmarked, mucky, occasionally temporally anesthetized, but radiant in its slow moving splendor. Like stellar nebulae whispering breaths to their estranged lovers across the 'verse.

The Show. (note: you'll need to skip until 10 minutes into the recording)

Ponyta

Before this show aired I had the wonderful fortune of meeting Osso, a string quartet that played arrangement's of Sufjan Stevens' 2003 album, Enjoy Your Rabbit. They played a live show that floored the audience. They opened with Year of the Dog and had the audience in the palms of their hands, but when they got to Year of the Horse, the audience was blown away. Tears seared my weathered cheeks and as the cello's wavering sounds flickered in the hall, the viola's punctual pizzacato flickered from ear to ear. I highly recommend their recently released album, Run Rabbit Run.

Ponyta, is an excellent example of the beauty of potential. More developed, Rapidash, is strong willed, occasionally stubborn, and simply put, not one to bowl over for anyone. While maturity is to be appreciated, there's a certain rawness to Ponyta that mustn't be overlooked. Eagerness to love, eagerness to explore, with an unabashed sense of curiosity. Often these qualities go stifled in the world we live in, but I reject this outlook and demand that we embrace a sentimentality where passionate, but darting whims are wholly appreciated and carefully nurtured. For it is only the darting flickering of kindling that can keep us warm in the cold of night.
The show.

Light a Roman Candle and let her hold it in her hands

Their hooves tread fiery paths on ashen landscapes, devoid of volcanic memories. Astride in fields, their flaming splendor bends the horizon. Tomorrow on Vulpixelation: Ponyta.

Tune in to WRCT from 8 to 9 PM, Tuesday, to see the kindling of youth transformed into ball lightning.
