Today was the first day back to school. I had the lovely joy of sleeping in. I got a ton of compliments on my silver hair, cool. Went to class, can't remember much. The end of that. Who cares.
I'm feeling somewhat extra lovely on this evening. I sent out a submission to Ion Magazine today. It was a review of Cotton Jones, who have helped to add to this lovely atmosphere this evening.
"It is very rare to come across an artist whose sounds lift up your heart like a balloon, play with it in the wind ever so softly and then leaves it to bleed amongst the broken branches of a wilted tree. A little band with big talent out of Maryland can do just that. Cotton Jones is the name of this fairly unknown group whose members include Michael Nau and Whitney Mcgraw from the indie pop band Page France. However in 2008 the band broke up to focus on the new and upcoming group The Cotton Jones Basket Ride. The group later shortened it's name, leaving their listeners with a title that gives you a country feel without the cowboy hat. Cotton Jones new album "Paranoid Cocoon" gives out ten great tracks, perfect for an afternoon of retrospective in the sunshine. Michael Nau's voice is dreamy and untainted with the occasional addition of vocals of Whitney McGraw who adds her own gentle edge. This twist of slightly psychedelic, seemingly effortlessly beautiful music will leave you breathless on the bus ride home and feeling as though the world just got a little lovelier. "

They are just too lovely. I could fall asleep to them, fleet foxes and Paris 2004 by Peter, Bjorn & John.
I enjoyed a cup of coffee and the company of my 3 angels who are gracing the couch with their eyes shut nearby. It's nice to have a night feeling as though I am actually alone, although definitely not. I guess it's just that I am not being bugged.
Anyhoo, I did a photoshoot today, it went by fast. My make-up looks pretty. I feel really really great about myself today.
Goodnight world. :)
