and i owe it all to you...

Those of you who know me know that i am never without my ipod. I recently returned from a 5 week trip to India and Nepal. I left my computer, camera and ipod at home for this trip so that i could be as present as possible. It was one of the longest periods of time i have gone without music in my whole life.

So... I have heard Bill Callahan's music here and there over the years and it didn't really move me (if anything, his voice reminded me of school house rocks or something like that) untill 2 weeks into my trip. As i was sitting in our room at a Buddhist monastery in Sikkhim India practicing what i learned in the previous day's lessons on how to make tormas (traditional Tibetan Buddhist ritual sculptures made from dough) Bill Callahan's song "Rock Bottom Riser" came echoing through my mind. It was one of my little secret hopes that when I got back to the states I could find the song in my head, lay down, close my eyes and listen to it till i fell asleep. So, i found it today. The video by pictureDRIFT's Brendan Cook and Paul McNiel is gorgeous. Enjoy!
