Goodbye, good night, good morning

After updating the “Hibernation” page just now (and don’t forget to check that page for daily mp3s posted there), I got to thinking how the music of Ulrich Schnauss works both for going to sleep at night and getting up in the morning. Even a half-hearted follower of Subanimal Sounds can see that I’m a shoegaze junkie, and Ulrich Schnauss satisfies this fix enormously. Huge cavern swells, bigger than Slowdive. But he does it all hunched over a laptop. No guitars. Jay, if you’re out there, do you remember when we saw him down near the World Financial Center? Thoughts?
