Anew

January 1, 2010

There are all sorts of times that seem just right for beginnings. They seem to be those times that recur with regularity. In this rhythm, we find ourselves saying “Maybe this time…”
Today, this week, this month, this year …

Since today is the start of a new year and the first of the month (new music day), here are some thematic selections.

The first days of spring (Noah and the Whale)
Not your year (The Weepies)
These will be the days (Erik Göransson)
Love our time today (Yamit Mamo)
