Song of the day: Rocketship – I’m Lost Without You Here

This one’s for Dimitra.

It’s always sad when it’s Monday and I have to leave Devon again, but after a really nice weekend together*, it’s even worse. Of course. And much as I heart this job and much as I don’t mind being on my own, I’ve come to realise I have a really hard time not falling into the trap of being stuck in a rut and just roboting through life until it is Friday again. On the positive side, I’ve got tons of work to do, so I hope the days will go by really fast. One down, four three-and-a-half to go.

* actually, we had a friend over on Saturday. Which made things even better.

(For you pop kids who care more about music than about me –fair enough, I’d say– this song if from Rocketship’s debut album A Certain Smile, A Certain Sadness, that Slumberland released a little over ten years ago. It’s a classic in both American indiepop and in my own little pop world. Last time I checked, Dustin Reske was still recording music under the name of Rocketship, and some of his recordings were quite okay, but never as good as his mid 90s stuff.)
